Since I’m petite and plus-size, I often struggle to find clothing that fits properly and doesn’t require tailoring. So when I fall in love with a piece of clothing, I buy it in multiple colors. My closet looks a bit like a store’s restock rack, but it makes getting dressed simple because I have go-to pieces in several shades, making it easy to mix and match without repeating outfits.
When I tried Quince’s surprisingly breathable and curve-hugging Mongolian Cashmere Tee, which Mindy Kaling also owns, I immediately went back for more colors — and now have it in baby blue, chocolate brown, and ivory. It fits me like a glove, so naturally I’m already eyeing the brand’s new collared, textured, and cotton-blend versions of the all-season staple.

Mongolian Cashmere Tee
Before trying this shirt last summer, I had never worn cashmere, so I was immediately drawn in by how cuddly it was without making me overheat. After a year of heavy rotation in my closet, it still looks brand new. I hand-wash it, and since it’s lightweight, it dries easily. Bonus: I wore this while having my hair colored, and red dye dripped down the back, but it rinsed off without leaving any stains.
Style It for Summer:
Mongolian Cashmere Short-Sleeve Polo
With its structured collar, this top offers a preppy twist on the classic T-shirt. Ribbed details on the sleeves and hem add a touch of texture to this wrinkle-free and pill-resistant layer. Wear it with linen pants or shorts for summer, or with jeans when the weather cools for an effortlessly elegant ensemble.

Brushed Cashmere Tee
My one gripe with the original T-shirt is that I’m precious with the delicate fabric to avoid signs of wear. Since this version already has that lived-in look, it eliminates that concern while having the same “soft and sumptuous” feel, according to one shopper. The breezy top is “perfect for cool summer nights,” another fan added.

Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Relaxed Sweater Tee
If handwashing a cashmere piece sounds laborious, you’re in luck — Quince just dropped new colors of a machine-washable version. Made from a cotton-cashmere blend, this top is even more breathable than the original, and costs less. One person called this the “perfect tee,” adding that they love it so much they bought it in five colors.
