I Love my JCREW cashmere sweaters.Ive just started wearing them everyday. I also like sparkling necklaces and bracelets. Why not live in the moments.. ❤🌻🌻❤ So warm and soft and cozy.....
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!
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!❤❤
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!
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!
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!
I’m checking out the links to get more QUINCE! These items are so nice. My eyes popped when you took off the sweater and I saw your gorgeous biceps. Good work!
Just found your chanel and subbed in, Kristen. I'm loving your style-so similar to mine! I have a Quince red cashmere sweater and a off white one as well. LOVE Quince! So affordable and super soft cashmere! Keep on keepin' on!
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Hi, I found you tonight and have watched two of your videos. Love your style. Can you tell Me where you get your camisoles? Btw, I bought 3 J Crew girlfriend Tees. It’s the season. ❤
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.
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!
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?
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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@ 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.
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....
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I so love your style… totally my vibe ❤.
Love Quince cashmere and that red sweater is gorgeous on you. Adding to my wishlist. Thank you for sharing. Love your style! ❤

I love cashmere and Quince is my go to
So gorgeous. Love the blue colors on you. ❤
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!❤❤
Thank you, Nicolle for letting me know!! You will LOVE the brown cardigan. It's amazing!! Thanks for your support.
So so good! Thank you! 😊❤
You are so welcome! 🥰
I have found a cotton and cashmere fisherman sweaters at my local thrift and they’re some of my softest and most versatile sweaters.
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.

I am looking forward to the days when tucking bulky sweaters into the pants will go away.
Me too. I think they look sloppy. To each their own.
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!
You are so welcome! I’m glad I could help inspire you.

You look amazing in everything. I don’t own any quince but I love that blouse and the red sweater and the cropped cardi!
Thank you!! Same! I wore that blouse last night! I'm going to purchase it in a second color.
@ wish I could get it in Canada.
love your video
I wish Quince shipped to Australia!
And to Canada
And UK
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?
Yes, Kristen. A short video on how to take care of our cashmere, please
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.
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.

Good to know about their silk shirts! Thanks.
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.
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.
Target! And they are so comfortable!!
I'm curious what shoes you would wear with the denim top, bottom and red sweater?
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.
Could we know your height and measurements please? Better to help us relate.
I'll add more info to the description.
@@KristenCainStyle still no info in description
I am age 88 years old and have shrunk about half an inch so am now 5’5” and weigh 170#. I usually wear a size L or size 16 and pants 28-29” inseam.
Love Quince
Love the necklace you wore with the first sweater! Do you have a link for it please??
Thrifted. No info available, sorry.

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.
@@KristenCainStyle Thanks!

I'm not sure of the total outfits. I'll plan another capsule-type video where I share multiple looks with each piece. Thanks for your support!
@@KristenCainStyle I love your channel & your style. Would you do a video on Thanksgiving outfit ideas?
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?
Would double sided stick on fashion tape work?
How about a sleeveless t-shirt with shoulder pads?
@@KristenCainStyle Of course! Great idea!

Thanks for the video. Can you tell the size of the red sweater?
Medium. If you click. More. And more in the description, you will see all items and sizes
@@kathysteele3071 I do not see any info on sizing even after clicking more and going through all of the info
Sizes I'm wearing are listed right with each link. ☺️
What size did you get in the Coslie Target grey sweatpants? Perfect for lounging with the oversized cashmere grey sweater...yum. Thank you.
Small.
Could you please give us a link to the chunky silver necklace you are wearing at the beginning of the video? Please
Hello! Unfortunately, I don't have any info on that necklace. I thrifted it recently and there are no markings on it to indicate who makes it.
Just make sure you protect them from moths, they love them
What are your favorite ways to do that? I remember my grandmother would store things in cedar chest.
@ 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!!!!
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.
How and where do you dry “dry flat” garments?
I either drape them over my folding drying rack from IKEA or I spread them out on a clean towel on the floor.
@ 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.
Would you mind to share where you purchased your white long sleeve tshirt?
All of my long-sleeve t-shirts are currently from J. Crew Outlet- Girlfriend Tee.
Where can I get a pair of your gray sweats? Love your style!
Target! They're new this season. Colsie brand.
@@KristenCainStyle Thank-You! 😍

Where did you get the navy skirt?
Old Navy!
Please provide details on silver necklace from your info, thank you.
Thrifted. No info available, sorry.
Where is the scarf at 5:30 from?
That scarf is from Neiman Marcus. I purchased it when I worked there about 28 years ago! It's CHANEL. It's special. 💕
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’m hoping that changes in the future. I'm sure it's very frustrating to have limited options.
What is hard is tí find the right length when you are nit size 2 like you :)
Great helpful video! Would like to know how tall she is?
I'm 5'6" ;-)
can you link the different pants you're wearing
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.

They won't ship to Canada which is a real disappointment as I found several things on their site that I would have bought. Thank you for your video.
I believe they are working hard to add international shipping.
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?

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

@@KristenCainStyle Thanks
My cashmere sweater pill. Am I just buying the wrong cashmere or do I just need to start shaving the pills off?
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.
Cashmere is gorgeous and luxurious, but who the heck can afford it?
Most of my cashmere (before Quince) was thrifted for less than $15 a sweater. ☺️
NO. Quince is GREENWASHING !!
what is this? I can't figure out what the cashmere issue is and why mine get holes and lose shape even without washing.
Way too much talking.....
😊
Thanks!
Very disappointed in Quince cashmere - piles within a few wearings. Going cheap doesn't work. Buy quality and keep those items forever.
How is Quince sizing?I feel like everyone is all over the place. True to size?
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.
