One brand you see on my blog and social media often is Quince. I’ve been a longtime fan of the brand for several reasons. One, they offer a wide selection of capsule wardrobe favorites that can be mixed and matched. I do many capsule wardrobes here on the blog, and I’m often including Quince in my recommendations. If you’re looking to build a versatile wardrobe, Quince should be on your radar. Second, the prices can be beat for the quality. Because Quince works directly with manufacturers, they are able to keep their prices very reasonable. If you’re building a wardrobe from scratch, Quince makes it really affordable to get started.
I did a collaboration with Quince on my Instagram and wanted to also share here on the blog since I loved the content so much. For this collab, I selected five pieces from Quince and styled them eight ways. I really wanted to show how a few select pieces can make many different outfits. It’s about small tweaks here and there to create a whole new look. For this little spring mini capsule, I have a cotton sweater, linen mini dress, linen trousers, a sweater tank, and straight leg jeans. I’m giving more details about each piece below including fit and sizing followed by eight outfits ideas. Enjoy!

Five Pieces Styled Eight Ways With Quince
The Pieces
100% Organic Cotton Boyfriend Crew Sweater // This cotton sweater has been a favorite of mine for awhile. I first purchased it in the Speckled Beige colorway and wore it so much, I’ve been eyeing a second color. I chose this very chic and versatile navy color. I love that it’s cotton so you don’t have to worry about piling or itchiness. I’ve styled it several ways here including on the body, over the shoulders, and around the waist. Plus, it’s only $40!! Can’t beat that! I stayed true to size, and it has a relaxed fit.
Black Eco-Knit Cropped Sweater Tank // Sweater tanks are the unsung hero of the warmer months. When it’s hot but you want something a bit more elevated than a plain tank, a sweater tank adds that texture you’re looking for. This one has a wide ribbed knit and v-neck. I plan to wear this with trousers in the spring (and maybe a jacket thrown over if it’s chilly) and with shorts in the summer. I have the black, but it also comes in taupe, ivory, and gray as well. I find Quince tanks to run small; I recommend sizing up.
100% European Linen Spaghetti Strap Mini Dress // This little number is so stinkin’ darling, I can’t even. I’ve had a linen mini dress on my wishlist for the summer months, and this dress is IT. I love the thin little spaghetti straps which are adjustable and tie into cute little bows in the back (see pics below.) It’s also a great modest length (not too short for you tall girlies!), and it’s lined throughout. I stayed true to size for this one. It’s a steal at $50 (I can’t get over the prices!)
100% European Linen Pleated Trouser // These linen trousers are going to be a major player in my spring/summer wardrobe. If you love a capsule wardrobe, these are for you! Because they have pleats down the front and a hook and bar closure with a zipper (as opposed to a drawstring), these linen pants can easily be dressed up or down. Some linen pants come off as more casual and are more difficult to style for a business casual type situation but not these. The white color is also lined so it’s not see through. I took my true size.
Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans // I’ve been wanting to try Quince jeans forever! They come in at $50 and are a much more affordable alternative to some of the more expensive jeans on the market. These are a stretch denim with a fabric composition of 73% cotton, 26% Lyocell Tencel, and 1% spandex. They are very comfortable, but I’d say they run a bit small (especially in the booty area.) Size up if you’re in between sizes or are looking for a looser fit. I went with the 30″ inseam since I wanted them to fit full length.
Italian Leather Triple Compartment Bucket Bag // This is not included in my five items, but I accessorized with this bag in all the outfits I’m sharing today. I’ve been wanting to add a medium sized black bag with handles to my wardrobe for awhile. This one is made of a soft pebble leather (much easier to maintain than smooth leather) and has this cool slouchy shape. It has also has many, many pockets for organizing all your little items. We love to see it.
The Outfits
Cotton Sweater + Jeans + Flip Flops
Here’s a very easy, casual spring look. I might add a white tee underneath next time for a bit more interest. You could swap the flip flops for loafers or any flats you have. Another option is to add a belt. Quince has lots of affordable options in different styles.
Sweater Tank + Cotton Sweater Over The Shoulders + Jeans + Flats
Here I changed into the black sweater tank and threw the navy sweater over my shoulders. You could also tie the sweater around the waist as an alternative styling option. The tank is more cropped, but it works well with my high waisted bottoms.
Sweater Tank + Linen Trousers + Flats
Swapping the jeans for linen trousers, and we created a whole different look! You could wear flats or sandals here. Again you have the option to add a belt or even a jacket if the weather is chilly.
Sweater Tank + Linen Trousers + Cotton Sweater Tied At The Waist + Flip Flops
A little change here by adding a sweater tied at the waist. This is my favorite look! The mix of colors and textures has got me swooning.
Cotton Sweater + Linen Trousers + Flip Flops
Here I’ve swapped the tank for the sweater (you could even just wear it over the tank as a layering option; spring weather is unpredictable!) I love this color combination of white, navy, and black. So chic!
Linen Mini Dress + Flats
On to the dress looks! This is a really cute summer look when the weather is really hot (swap the flats for sandals if you need more air flow.) Peep the back of the dress below with the straps tied into bows.
Linen Mini Dress + Cotton Sweater Tied At The Waist + Flip Flops
A small change here by adding the sweater tied at the waist. This is a good option if you want to ‘style’ this dress a little more.
Cotton Sweater + Linen Mini Dress + Flip Flops
For the last look, I’ve worn the sweater over the the dress to make it look more like a skirt. I think this would also look nice with a pair of loafers or boat shoes.
Here’s a few more spring favorites from Quince that I’ve been wearing on repeat lately:
100% Leather Oversized Bomber Jacket // If you’ve been here for a minute, you’ve seen me rave about this jacket. I did a whole blog post styling it here.
100% Organic Cotton Striped Crew Sweater // I own this in the Heather Brown/Ivory color, but I kind of want it in every color. It fits true to size.
Capri Sunglasses // Almost all my sunglasses are from Quince, but this is the pair I’ve been wearing the most lately. I also own this pair in the Fawn Tortoise, this pair in the Black, and this pair in the Tan Tortoise. The quality is excellent, and the $50 price point means I’m not constantly worrying about losing them.
100% Cotton Sleeveless Maxi Dress // This is actually more of a summer piece, but I wanted to included it since it’s SO GOOD. The easy, breezy warm weather dress you need for summer.
