Quince Cashmere Review: The Affordable Sweaters Cosmo Editors Swear By

Hearst Owned“I own cashmere sweaters that cost 5x—even 10x the price—of this viral Quince crewneck, but it’s still one of my all-time favorites. Because it's not as pricey, I feel more comfortable wearing it every day versus saving it for dressy occasions. I throw it on all the time with jeans and other casual pieces, but it’s earned compliments at fancy fashion industry events, too. The material is lightweight yet cozy and feels soft against my skin. Other fashion editors have been amazed to find out it’s Quince.”—SARAH MABERRY, SHOPPING EDITOR“Adding a pop of red to my outfits has basically become my entire personality this year, so I’ve been styling this versatile red cashmere cardigan like it's my job. I’ve worn it draped over the shoulder for an elegant outfit while vacationing in Rome, tied with full denim for a West Village dinner, and buttoned up as a top with jeans for a relaxed office look. It doesn't hurt that it's so, so soft.”—CRISTINA CORVINO, DEPUTY MANAGING SHOPPING EDITORAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I am not someone who can condense their clothing into a capsule wardrobe—but if I did, this half-zip would be a non-negotiable on the list. It’s somehow both cozy yet elegant, so it goes with practically everything in my closet—like jeans for everyday, satin skirts for an evening event, or thrown over athleisure when I’m headed to the store. I ordered a size large (normally I wear a size small) for an extra oversized feel, which makes it even easier to layer with tees and long-sleeves underneath.”—SAMANTHA JONES, SENIOR SHOPPING EDITORAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I’ve had this cardigan for more than two years now, and it’s still just as soft and cozy as the day I got it. I love that it has a classic fit—it’s neither tight nor baggy—so it feels like a timeless staple that I’ll still reach for a decade from now. The fabric is lightweight but warm, so I keep it in my wardrobe rotation all year round. I’ll layer it beneath a wool coat in the winter, and pair it with jean shorts during a windy summer night.”—LAUREN GRUBER, SHOPPING EDITOR“I live in this sweater from fall through spring. It's so cozy yet it really elevates basic layered outfits (particularly in the black color)—it looks great under a sport coat or blazer. I'd call it a wardrobe staple; its a gift that any guy in your life would actually get a lot of wear out of. I've had mine for three years and it's held up well with the occasional hand wash.”—HEATH OWENS, DEPUTY SHOPPING EDITORRelated:Lauren Gruber is a shopping editor at Hearst Magazines with more than five years of professional writing experience.
