I tried on a few new things from Quince and a few old favorites and realized I created a little mini capsule with these pieces. Just add denim and you’ve got a lot of outfits that are instant classics. Most everything here is under $100, with exception of a coat and a cashmere sweater. If you haven’t tried Quince, you should! They have year long returns, so it’s pretty risk free to try. I’d say I end up loving about 80% of the items I get from there. If I’m sharing it, I love it. I find their sizing pretty standard, I’m typically a medium / large in most things, which is true for me across the board of brands. Shop Quince here.
Zip Up Merino Wool Pullover
This zip pullover is a 10/10 recommendation. It’s super soft and fits perfectly relaxed. I’m in the medium and it’s a looser fit for sure. I’ve worn this no less than 3 times in the past two weeks since I’ve gotten it. TTS with a very relaxed fit! It’s under $100 for merino wool, which is a great deal for this quality.
This sweater could be easily layered over a tee for a layered look or a button down, as well. Of course it can be worn alone, too (how I’m wearing it here.) This look also works with leggings, as well as denim. Very versatile for winter. Find it here.

Italian Wool Single-Breasted Coat
I’ve only tried Quince’s puffer coats and leather coats and so I gave this wool coat a try. It feels / looks just like one from J.Crew. Fully lined and really well made. It is single breasted, which is nice for our mild winters here. If I were in a colder place, I’d go double breasted for more coverage. I’m in the medium, it’s a perfect fit.
As far was warmth goes, I would say for southern winters, this weight is perfect. But it’s not warm enough for say a Chicago snowstorm, you know? It’s warm for Texas winters but not for serious winters. Find it here.

The Viral $50 Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
I needed a nice, classic black sweater (all I have is a black cardigan, if you can believe!) so I went with their $50 cashmere sweater. I had not tried it yet and I knew a simple black sweater was going to be perfect. This is a really nice sweater! Cashmere and so soft, feels like J.Crew. I do find that it runs a bit small so I go to a large in this one and it’s perfectly relaxed, but fits me just right. Highly recommend this one! Comes in lots of other colors other than black, of course. Find it here.

Mongolian Cashmere Sweater + Silk Pants
This is their mongolian cashmere sweater and it’s a thicker and more textured / ribbed version of the other sweater. The fit is a relaxed fit. I bought the large because I like my sweaters loose but if you like a tailored fit, this sweater is a true to size fit. It’s heavier weight than the other one and feels very luxe! Quite a steal for right at $100 and comes in other colors. This one is ‘Teak’. Find it here.
This sweater also pairs so well with this pair of silk pants from Quince! If you are looking for an alternate pant for the office or for the holiday season, this pair of silk pants is where it is at. So comfortable (Feels like pajamas) and so luxe looking. I am in the large (they run TTS but I wanted more length / looser fit at waist.) (You can see a few other ways to wear silk pants here.)

Italian Wool Oversized Blazer + Cotton Button Down
So I definitely think I need the large for it to fit more oversized, as this is the medium. It does fit but it is more fitted at the shoulders / arms for me, especially when I layer something bulky underneath. It has a really gorgeous texture, with a brown tweed fabric. It looks rich, to be honest! It’s very tailored, very Ralph Lauren-esque and for right at $100. I would say if you want a looser fit, go up one size.
Here is a button down that is really nice to layer over. I’m in the large and it’s honestly a bit large on me. It runs big, so keep that in mind. If you want oversized, go up a size but if you want a typical fit TTS with a relaxed look. Find it here.

Cotton Boatneck Sweater + Ponte Pants
Black sweaters are so necessary but they photograph so boring. This is a cotton boatneck sweater with a nice ribbed texture. I really like this one – it’s a thicker sweater but not too heavy. I am in the medium and it fits perfectly loose and relaxed. Right under $50 in lots of colors, too! Find it here.
These ponte pants are some of my very favorites from Quince. They’re super stretchy, which is probably why I like them, but the fabric itself is thicker and doesn’t wrinkle at all. It’s a nice bouncy ponte, which makes them so wearable. I am in the 10, I find they run snug at the waist. Find them under $50 here!

Honorable Mentions
Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Crewneck Sweater
This is one of my favorite sweaters, hands down, from Quince. It is a gorgeous cashmere, so luxe and so soft. It fits perfectly oversized, I wear the medium and it’s loose and relaxed. I can’t recommend this sweater enough. This color is Heather Storm Blue, but there are lots of other neutrals and hues. True to size WITH an oversized fit. Find it here.

100% Cotton Boyfriend Crew Sweater
So this sweater is temporarily offline…and I’m not quite sure why. I have my guesses — I’m thinking they are restocking for next week (Black Friday!) but maybe it really did just sell all the way out. I will keep an eye on it, but I am linking the exact one here. It is called the “100% Cotton Boyfriend Crew Sweater” and this is the Herbed Green hue.
I told you I was loving this green hue lately and I ended up buying it in this crew neck cotton sweater. I couldn’t decide between this one or the cardigan, but the sweater one me over. The green is not quite as bright as shown online, but is still a nice vibrant olive hue. I am in the large of this sweater. I size up in the cotton sweater because I don’t want shrinkage and I love a looser fit. Find it here when it’s back online!

Quince really is that girl. I rarely find anything that I don’t just love. (But I can also share what items those are, if you’d like!) By the way, I think these items would be perfect for a capsule. Would you guys like a few outfit ideas with these looks? I can put something together for later this week!
