Say Hello to Your New Summer Capsule Wardrobe Piece—an Affordable Cashmere Tee!

I just love the feel of natural fibers against my skin, and cashmere (a highly-regarded luxury fabric) is no exception. Cashmere makes the perfect layering piece for spring, one that can even segue into summer. And similar to merino wool, this knit fabric keeps you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm, wicking moisture away from the body. Plus, there’s no need to wear a cami underneath, as cashmere is soft enough to wear next-to-skin as a stand-alone piece.

But this extravagant fabric, with its labor-intensive production process, often comes with a hefty price tag. That is—unless you cut off the sleeves and put it on sale! Surprisingly, I found a cashmere tee, with a slim cut and capped sleeves, and it’s just $45. You heard me right—a cashmere top for less than $50! This piece from Quince is exactly the trendy spring piece I’m looking for, and can now afford.

Mongolian Cashmere Tee
Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee is “lightweight luxury, redefined,” as the brand likes to state. Designed as a layering piece for warmer months, this ethically produced tee is remarkably soft and breathable. Its slim fit pairs well with jeans or flowy pants, and the 20 colorways (I love the raspberry color for spring), including three classic stripes, offer an option to suit any style. This shirt features a ribbed neckline, hem, and sleeves, and a 12-gauge knit for a flattering drape.
One five-star reviewer calls this tee “a versatile top.” They said it’s light enough to be worn in the summer and can easily be layered for colder months. Another shopper said, “This tee is so soft and light. It's perfect for spring or fall.” They noted its tailored fit that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.

You can feel good about shopping at Quince (I know I do), as its commitment to making beautiful clothing from natural fibers is unparalleled. Shop this simple yet versatile Mongolian Cashmere Tee for just $45—it would make a great Mother’s Day gift, too!
