Becoming a mom requires many adjustments, from the way you spend your free time to the way you budget your money. One of the immediate changes most moms also make is to the way they dress, because comfort becomes just as important as style while taking care of a baby (and then chasing toddlers and sitting on the sidelines of sports games!).
That’s just one of the reasons the moms of The Local Moms Network are loving Quince, a high-quality cashmere line at an unbelievably budget-friendly price. We asked Kate Santangelo, the mom behind Monmouth Moms and Layla Lisiewski, cofounder and CEO of The Local Moms Network, to share some reasons they are reaching for Quince more than any other pieces in their closets—and their top five choices for Fall and Winter.
It’s *Really* Great Quality
Quince has gained legions of fans (including lots of moms!) for being low-priced and high quality, and recently the brand has doubled down on this strategy. Their new Cashmere 2.0 is still made from 100% Grade A Mongolian cashmere, but is softer, more substantial/thicker and less likely to pill than their previous versions. Each piece has 20% more cashmere which is how they’ve made it less likely to snag and pill (important when snags are everywhere there are kids!). “My Quince sweaters have been through the wringer, from preschool playdates to lacrosse sidelines, and really stand the test of time,” says Layla.
The Price Is Absolutely Right
Even with all these advancements, Quince hasn’t raised the price of its cashmere staples—$50 for women’s pieces and $59 for men’s. “Bottom line, these items are great quality, wear well and last, and you can stock up on them at an unbeatable price!” say Kate. Plus, they have free shipping and returns, so you don’t have to worry about wasting money on the wrong fit.
You Won’t Be Worried Wearing It
The $50 price tag means you won’t be crushed if your toddler splashes paint on you or even takes a pair of scissors to your sweater (toddlers are toddlers, after all). “I don’t have to save my Quince sweaters for special occasions—even though they are nice enough for dressier events, too,” says Layla. You can also feel good knowing that Quince partners with factories nationwide on sustainability, ethical production and minimized the use of water, energy and hazardous chemicals.
They’re Perfect for that Fall to Winter Transition
The last thing moms want to do is shop now and then shop in a few weeks once the weather turns from cool to cold. “Their crewneck, V-neck and other sweaters are easy transitional pieces that you can layer over t-shirts for Fall and under jackets and coats in Winter,” says Kate.
They Make Perfect Gifts
Because of the quality and price point, Quince is a great item to gift to pretty much everyone. “I love giving Quince sweaters for my mom friends or their kids in school colors,” says Layla. Available in 16 colors, Quince offers something for everyone (including women’s, men’s and kids styles).
