Versatility Matters: Creating Multiple Outfits with QUINCE Cashmere Sweaters

[@SuzanneWinslowAuthor]

Love all the outfits in this video. Quince is now on my wishlist. Cardigans and crew necks both.

[@martinajohnson8394]

I so love your style… totally my vibe ❤.

[@alittlebitlaura]

Love Quince cashmere and that red sweater is gorgeous on you. Adding to my wishlist. Thank you for sharing. Love your style! ❤

[@dorothykearns6039]

What a great video! I love how you put things together...... I just wish you would mention or list what pants/skirts/trousers you are wearing with the Quince sweaters!

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

I am obsessed with Quince and Quince's cashmere sweaters in particular. I have several of the sweaters you styled today and you've given me a couple of new ideas in this video. The Varsity Red crewneck is one of my very favorites right now, great for holidays and just adding that bright pop of color on gloomy grey days. Really enjoying your videos.

[@gabriellaboyle4933]

Great video….thank you!!!

[@terryannsweeney4428]

Love your casual and classy style! I'm obsessed with Quince and was happy to see how many others are also! Thank you for sharing all these great ways to incorporate and wear cashmere every day! I bought a cashmere sleep shirt/gown at a discount store about five years ago. I actually wear it almost every night. Cashmere has this amazing quality that it keeps you warm but not overheated… Unlike polyester plastic fleece. I am retired and wear cashmere loungewear and sweaters every day… And often with a Quince silk blouse underneath 😊. You could call me a Quince-aholic! 😂 😊❤ Love your videos… New subscriber here! 😊

[@WAG24205]

These QUINCE sweaters are beautiful and you’ve made a great case for how versatile they can be. My son always gives me money for Christmas and I think I’ll order a cashmere sweater! Just need to decide the right size!

[@marycosgrove1587]

Loved this video. I absolutely love Quince. I just put in two huge orders. I love love love their cashmere and their leather bags. So ,so good. Ty for sharing.

You're sweet! Thank you!! ☺️

[@donna31951]

Just discovered you.😊 Love your style and your videos. Quince is a favorite of mine too; their pieces have become favorite travel items, especially during the winter.

[@reggiemoon1763]

I have found a cotton and cashmere fisherman sweaters at my local thrift and they’re some of my softest and most versatile sweaters.

Me too. I think they look sloppy. To each their own.

I have to thank you! Because of your earlier Quince video, I purchased many pieces you showed here, today. I think I now have to go back from the brown cropped cardigan!❤❤

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thank you, Nicolle for letting me know!! You will LOVE the brown cardigan. It's amazing!! Thanks for your support.

[@kathysteele3071]

You had me at CASHMERE! I love navy, red and brown, short cardigans and cashmere. Thanks for doing such a great job. I think I will be buying a few new cashmere sweaters today and getting rid of old ones. That navy skirt and cami with the brown sweater is amazing and RED is a neutral for me. UPDATE: I got the brown cardi, red sweater and the navy sweater BUT in denim. Can’t wait to see how they work!

[@puckrussell]

I have lots of cashmere sweaters,but Quince is equal to or better than many of them. And the price! Can’t be beat! I just ordered 4 crew neck cashmere sweaters from them..they were only $50!!! Win!

[@KristenCainStyle]

I agree! What an amazing deal!

[@GussiedUp10]

I have many Quince sweaters but you have convinced me to add the varsity red boxy sweater and the oatmeal cardigan. Thanks for helping me with my shopping, I love cashmere as I too am always cold!

Can you do a quince Jean try on or tell me which pair looks like your jeans? Yours look more mid rise and I like mid rise. The description says quince jeans are soft. I like soft.

[@lexreavis]

I have a few pieces of their cashmere amd love them, and am finally at a stage where I need to wash them. But I don't know how since I'm a first time cashmere owner. Any tips?

[@kathysteele3071]

Yes, Kristen. A short video on how to take care of our cashmere, please

[@KristenCainStyle]

I wash mine on cold in my washing machine. Turn inside out and place into a mesh bag (for delicates and sweaters). Dry flat on a towel.

[@jacquelinea8224]

I'm curious what shoes you would wear with the denim top, bottom and red sweater?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Oh, I'd wear my red Adidas Sambas, white or cream Converse, saddle brown shoes or boots, red maryjanes. I rarely wear black shoes, but they would also work with this look.

[@satokobates5736]

Thank you for sharing ❤ definitely like to try their sweater now. By the way your cute red Mary Jane strap shoes. Where are they from? Looking for comfortable red cute shoes like that for a while now.

[@KristenCainStyle]

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

Kristen, thanks for another great video. This may be my fav so far bc you actually show outfits. How many pieces did you show altogether? I have several garments similar to yours and I want to figure out multiple combinations. I’m going to start hunting for more cashmere!

[@marymeyer2988]

You machine wash the sweater?

[@gloriaa3652]

Just made my first order from Quince and am trying to find out more about them. Once piece is cashmere and can’t wait. I am hoping I found a new place for decent, healthy clothing that is fair traded.

[@KristenCainStyle]

You’ll love it! Quince is one of my favorite resources for quality, ethical clothing.

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

How and where do you dry “dry flat” garments?

[@KristenCainStyle]

I either drape them over my folding drying rack from IKEA or I spread them out on a clean towel on the floor.

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

@ THANK YOU! You are always so helpful and down to earth. What garments would not stretch out draped over folding drying rack. I have one & rarely use it.

[@moiraberniegatt9491]

Kristen how can I bring simple shoulder structure into my sweaters? I always wear hoodies and love the look but I have a good collection of cashmere knits that don’t look good without shoulder pads BUT THEY SLIP EVERYWHERE! I have Velcro ones but they rip the cashmere or nylon bras or tops to pieces. Any suggestions?

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

Would double sided stick on fashion tape work?

[@KristenCainStyle]

How about a sleeveless t-shirt with shoulder pads?

I am new here and love your style. I love cashmere, but the powder blue pleated skirt … Where may I find one of those?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thank you! Welcome! That skirt was thrifted last winter. The brand is Lea and Viola.

[@Nickysmom]

I have yet to buy their cashmere because I have too many cashmere sweaters but I tried their silk shirts last year and now have more than a dozen pieces. Love the quality and color. Had to shorten two shirts and change the neckline on two dresses but still worth it. I recommend them highly. Their pants don’t tempt me though, wish you’d do a critique of those. My body shape is different from yours, but I’d still be interested in your opinion

[@puckrussell]

Good to know about their silk shirts! Thanks.

[@KristenCainStyle]

I haven't tried their pants yet either. I tend to wear mostly Levi's. I'll definitely share when I do try Quince pants.

[@susanvanmeter75]

What additional colors in the peasant blouse are you planning to get that you think will be basic and versiatile? How would you describe your style and how did you identify it? Love the video. Thank you Susan

[@KristenCainStyle]

Good question! I just ordered the grey and will likely get the navy for spring. Quince is also releasing it in a sleeveless version! Out in January, I think. I would describe my style as ... simple, classic, effortless, timeless. I always gravitate towards a French Tomboy vibe. I don't really focus on a defined style as much as paying attention to what feels most authentic for me.

[@sherrylechaton6924]

Would you mind to share where you purchased your white long sleeve tshirt?

[@KristenCainStyle]

All of my long-sleeve t-shirts are currently from J. Crew Outlet- Girlfriend Tee.

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

I had a wonderful cashmere turtleneck I wore for decades until hot flashes rendered it too uncomfortable, but a cardigan that could be taken off would work - I also have a problem with moths and other insects and wonder how you store your items? Love the pleated pale blue skirt! I used to buy a lot of black, gray and brown for winter thinking it was basic and by February I was depressed as those colors looked too much like the winter landscape of gray and brown! Still buying basics but looking for ways to lighten them up with sweaters and scarves in brighter colors. I'm attracted to prints but you show how items in solid colors are so much more versatile as a base.

[@KristenCainStyle]

I launder my cashmere before storing for the season. I put it into a large plastic bin with other sweaters and toss in a few cedar balls.

[@MaryCunningham-u5j]

[@InfinityHealthPilates]

So question. Are the Quince cashmere thin? What ply are they ? I hesitate to buy anything that’s sponsored. Like LilySilk whose products when I got them were incredibly poor quality and came smashed in an envelope, plus the return process was harrowing.

[@KristenCainStyle]

Great question. I promise to always give my honest opinion. I've been wearing cashmere sweaters for years. Quince cashmere is truly exceptional. Their $50 Mongolian cashmere crewneck is thinner than the others, but not what I would call thin in a chintzy sense. It's just a lighter weight cashmere. The others are quite lofty! The ribbed cardigans I show are thick. I'm wearing the light blue one now!

[@sheilaghhall9342]

I love your quince cashmere in fact I have loved several quince pieces however they are missing my business because I’m from UK. Ive tried ordering from them but to no avail. Anybody else out there from uk liking this stuff.

I love your necklace. Are you at liberty to provide info on it?

[@tanyajacobson952]

can you link the different pants you're wearing

[@KristenCainStyle]

Hi Tanya- I'm working on creating a ShopMy account for linking things that aren't thrifted. As I'm a style coach, not an influencer, I don't really share links regularly. The first pair (dark green) are about 5 years old from H&M. The grey trousers are from Commence- online brand, I wouldn't recommend them. They don't have a great return policy. There are better trouser options out there, both resale and retail.

I wish Quince were more size inclusive. I have this problem with most of the sustainable brands. What a shame, as I would love to invest in these beautiful pieces.

@ I place cedar balls in the baskets where I have my sweaters in the closet and also bags with lavender and make sure you move them from time to time.

@@Aliciafilms Thanks!!!!

[@lizkrumpter]

at first I thought the holes were from moths or some kind of insects but ONLY the quince cashmere gets the holes. one came with a small hole and I kept it anyway.. I no longer will buy the thin ones.

[@CreativelyHis33]

How do you keep your cashmere sweaters from getting eaten by moths?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thankfully, this hasn't been a problem as much in the west as it was on the east coast. I pack them away for the off-season in large plastic bins, freshly laundered and usually with a few cedar balls.

[@CreativelyHis33]

@@KristenCainStyle Thanks

[@carolorr4280]

I have lots of cashmere sweaters but none of them are the rather boxy styles you are showing. Can you show us looks for those of us who just want to "shop our closets" and update the look of the cashmere sweaters we already own?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Best plan for that (just coached a client on this!) is to add a wide-leg jean or trouser. The varied proportions will make smaller sweaters look more current.

[@joanp105]

All of my cashmere pieces are quite old, 3 ply and all are in excellent condition. I hesitate to add any of those from Quince since friends have told me they are very thin, made of short pieces of cashmere and therefore develop holes after a washing. Have you personally washed these pieces that you say you washed in the machine and use all the time? Since I cannot wear sheep wool I only use cashmere and would enjoy not spending $500 per piece for daily wear. What brand are the green and grey pants that you wore please?

[@KristenCainStyle]

I have not found the Quince cashmere sweaters to be thin. Actually, the opposite. They are lofty and thick. They do have a few different versions and some of the sweaters/yarns are thicker than others.

[@KristenCainStyle]

I have washed them and they've held up well. My husband has the grey cashmere zip hoodie. It's been washed a dozen times and I've only de-pilled it once. Looks great!

[@KristenCainStyle]

The green cargo pants are Gap. The grey trousers are from Commence (wouldn't recommend this brand). There are lots of better trouser options out there.

[@lizkrumpter]

ive ordered many pieces, can't resist, but the 50 cashmere and the 99 hoodie do get small and not-so-small holes after short time and of course pilling. the thick boyfriend one gets soooo many pills. ive had it a few years and I do love it but it looks so frumpy as it loses shape and pills.. I almost never wash it.

[@kaystinebrink1220]

My cashmere sweater pill. Am I just buying the wrong cashmere or do I just need to start shaving the pills off?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Pilling can be caused by a number of different factors... a bag or seatbelt rubbing, a larger bust often creates more friction in some areas, some brands and knits and yarns tend to pill more easily. I always wash my cashmere sweaters inside out, in a mesh bag on cold in my washer and them lay flat to dry. I use a Conair battery shaver about once or twice a season if there are areas that show lots of pilling. Hope that helps.

[@jackielambes7208]

How is Quince sizing?I feel like everyone is all over the place. True to size?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Great question. I feel like some Quince sweaters run true and others run quite oversized. I haven't found anything that I'd say runs small. They are good about stating the fit and their customer reviews are very helpful. And often included customer photos so that you can see the garments on non-models.

[@Rileygirl11746]

Cashmere is gorgeous and luxurious, but who the heck can afford it?

[@KristenCainStyle]

Most of my cashmere (before Quince) was thrifted for less than $15 a sweater. ☺️

[@lizkrumpter]

ive had bad experiences with the thin cashmere getting holes-the hoodie and the crew necks. and yet I keep buying from them. I love their linen and their silk. I still get the thick Mongolian sweaters, I have a long from before they made cropped and I have cropped. I do love the look but they pill and lose shape. I am now considering spending more and getting better quality. but your video has me wanting to keep at quince and I have a 10 dollar credit. it is addicting but there is something ... not good.. about the cashmere. I do love the vibe and the Jenni Kayne look though....

[@KristenCainStyle]

I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with your Quince cashmere. I haven't experienced any holes, and pilling has been minimal. I have many clients who were buying JK cashmere and found it pilled and stretched out also... at four times the price.

[@patriciacoughlinphd1852]

Very disappointed in Quince cashmere - piles within a few wearings. Going cheap doesn't work. Buy quality and keep those items forever.

[@KristenCainStyle]

I'm so sorry you've had that experience. I haven't found that at all with my own sweaters and with the pieces my husband has been wearing for years.

[@treasalavin739]

Way too much talking..... 😊

[@KristenCainStyle]

Thanks!

[@catharina2022]

Why are all your sweaters the same shape? I find that just as boring as the tucking in......

[@KristenCainStyle]

They're actually quite different. Some are boxy, others are straighter and more form-fitting. These are the shapes that Ip prefer wearing. And thankfully, there are lots of other brands to choose from if Quince doesn't appeal to you.
