It feels and looks much more expensive than it is.
I’m a bargain hunter, which is sometimes at odds with my Champagne taste. I love luxurious fabrics like cashmere and silk, but I just can’t stomach paying top dollar for them, especially when I know more affordable options exist. So when I couldn’t let go of the idea of a cashmere T-shirt for transitional fall days, I knew I needed to find an option that wouldn’t deplete my bank account. Enter Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee, which rings in at an unbelievable $45.
In case you’re not familiar with Quince, the brand known for its sustainable, affordable, and high-quality clothing. Its cashmere tee is proof of that; made from Grade-A (aka the best) Mongolian cashmere, the fine-knit wool is sustainably sourced, super soft to the touch, and has ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem for a structured look. Available in sizes XS through XL, it comes in twelve colors, including classics like black, heather gray, and ivory and fashion-forward ones like raspberry and light blue.

I live in the South, where it can be 40 degrees in the morning and 80 degrees in the afternoon. Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee is perfect for yo-yo-ing weather. It keeps me super warm when it’s chilly and layers well under jackets, blazers, and cardigans. The breathable weave and short-sleeve style keep me from overheating once the sun comes out in the afternoon. Plus, the ribbed detailing on the T-shirt makes it feel super sophisticated and timeless; I’ve worn it with jeans, wide-leg pants, and a balletcore wrap skirt so far. Some reviewers noted that it might be wise to size up, but I took my regular M size and I think it fits perfectly, just like a fitted T-shirt would.

More than 2,000 people have reviewed the T-shirt on the brand’s website, raving about how affordable the shirt is for its quality. One reviewer said that they “loved the quality and feel of this tee,” and that it’s “perfect for dress or casual” without being “too thin.” Another reviewer said they bought it for their mother who is “very stylish” and “knows cashmere,” and who “loves this sweater!” Another called it “perfect” noting that they thought “Quince really mastered the cashmere tee.”
If you need a good cashmere basic that’s under $50, then head to Quince’s site — though it’ll be up to you whether or not you want to share your secret with your friends.
