I’m not one to jump on trends early, but Quince caught my attention. After hearing about their affordable $50 cashmere sweater and their new activewear line with items under $50, I had to give it a try. Here are my honest thoughts after testing the activewear pieces.
About Quince’s Activewear Line
Quince is known for its affordable, high-quality, sustainably-made products, and their activewear line lives up to that reputation. Made from post-consumer recycled polyester fabric, each piece contains approximately seven two-liter bottles and is designed to be moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and antimicrobial. Their activewear is also Global Recycle Standard-certified, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Quince’s transparent pricing shows the exact costs associated with each garment, offering a clear comparison to leading brands.
What I Tried
Ultra-Soft High-Rise Legging
When it comes to leggings, I’m very particular about fit and comfort. Quince’s high-rise leggings feel like a second skin, perfect for my pilates classes, weightlifting, and treadmill walks. The fitted waistband ensures they stay in place during workouts while still being comfortable enough for lounging.
Available in 14 colors.
Ultra-Soft V-Neck Cropped Tank
The matching Ultra-Soft V-Neck Cropped Tank pairs perfectly with the High-Rise Leggings. The tank offers a good fit without padding, providing support without the hassle of adjusting padding. This versatile top doubles as a sports bra and shirt, making it convenient for gym sessions.
Available in nine colors.
Flowknit Breeze Long Sleeve Top
The Flowknit Breeze Long Sleeve Top is versatile for various activities, from walking to running errands. The fabric feels like soft brushed cotton and offers UV-SPF 40 protection, making it suitable for outdoor activities. Despite its premium feel, the top is affordably priced at under $30.
Available in six colors.
My Final Thoughts
Quince’s activewear line lives up to their reputation for quality and affordability. Comparable to top brands like Alo or Lululemon, Quince offers premium activewear at a lower price. Their commitment to making quality activewear accessible, along with free shipping and returns, is commendable.
If I had one critique, it would be the limited color options across their activewear collection. While this may pose a challenge for matching outfits, it’s also an opportunity to explore new colors. Overall, Quince’s activewear line is a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking affordable, comfortable, and high-quality activewear.
