Quince partnered with celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez on The Cool Summer Edit, a curated collection of warm-weather staples designed to do more than simply look good on vacation. The edit focuses on polished, easy-to-wear pieces that move comfortably from office days and errands to outdoor dinners and weekend getaways. Highlights include European linen shirts and trousers, washable silk dresses, relaxed denim, lightweight cashmere layers and Italian leather accessories.
Across seven styled looks, Chavez pairs breathable fabrics with relaxed tailoring and smart layering. Standouts include a washable silk slip dress topped with an oversized leather bomber, linen trousers worn with fisherman sandals and cashmere, and barrel jeans styled with a cropped barn jacket. Priced from $45 to $350, the edit taps into growing demand for capsule wardrobes filled with versatile pieces that feel current, elevated and easy to wear on repeat.
"When people think about summer style, they often picture vacations. But the pieces that truly define the season are the ones you wear every day. Crisp linen, lightweight layers, and relaxed tailoring are the foundation of a summer wardrobe that feels effortless from morning to night," share Chavez.
