Silk is a luxury that never goes out of style. But you don’t need to be a clothing expert to maintain and clean silk. Want to add some fashion upgrades to your wardrobe? Start with the undeniably chic—and fully washable!—silk collection from Quince.
The Quince washable silk collection has all the necessary components to make a great outfit. Skirts, dresses and plenty of tops are all made from smooth, strong and durable silk to ensure you’ll feel confident in every season.
What is the Quince washable silk collection?
Quince is a San Francisco-based retailer that specializes in elevating closets with high-quality pieces. From cashmere sweaters to the perfect silk blouse, the brand has earned its place as one of our top-loved picks. The gorgeous silks are back on our radar in a full collection of washable tops, dresses, skirts, pajamas and robes. Scrunchies and pillowcases also make an appearance to complete the silky look of your dreams.
Most of the collection is made from 100% mulberry silk, with the exception of some pieces made with 10% spandex. Multiple personal stylist tip lists will recommend silk for any occasion, while the spandex provides some room for a comfortable fit. Since there’s not a ton of stretch, consider going up a size for an oversized look. Compared to other similar brands and traditional retailers, these stretchy silk options are at a great price point, ranging from $20 to $130.
Silk fiber is one of the best materials for your skin, as opposed to synthetic polyester silk. Silk fiber is made with 18 types of amino acids that feel amazing on your skin. It’s also hypo-allergenic and naturally thermoregulating to keep you comfortable in cold and hot weather. Our editors also love Quince’s breathable linen bed sheets.
Why do we recommend the Quince silk collection?
Starting with the tops, the Quince Washable Silk collection includes button-up collared long-sleeve shirts, tie-neck blouses and short-sleeve button-ups. Dress up any look with flowy camisoles, halter tops and V-neck tank tops. For a more effortlessly chic look, short-sleeve tees and button-up shirts pair perfectly with a blazer.
When pants seem like too much effort, try one of the breezy dresses or skirts from the collection. The slip or tee dresses are a layering dream, or try a more detailed look with a tiered maxi or mini dress. Skirts are available in midi and mini lengths to show off just the right amount of leg.
Almost every piece arrives in various color options from ivory and copper brown to burgundy and ballard blue. Whether you’re looking for neutral staples or statement pieces for business or pleasure, the collection has a style and aesthetic for everyone. Most users recommend sizing up in the clothing.
When the day is done and your freshly slugged hair is tied in a silk scrunchie, relax in Quince’s luxe silk pajama sets. Cozy up in the best mattress, Quince bed sheets and pillowcases and a weighted eye mask to wake up refreshed and recharged.
Similar to washing cashmere, the silk pieces can be hand-washed or machine washed in a delicate or gentle cycle. Invest in a garment bag, turn the piece inside out and refrain from tumble drying. It’s also best to line dry for maximum wear. Not sure how to wash a delicate garment? Test our tutorial on how to “dry clean only” at home. Oh, and speaking of recommendations, don’t miss out on the new Quince suitcase line, either.

“Perfect fit, perfect price, perfect purchase!” says Annamaria B. about her Silk Skirt. “Nice quality, well made and good value. I cannot wait to wear this throughout the year for many different occasions and events.”
Cristina Z. was “blown away” by her Silk Slip Dress. “It complemented my curves without being tight or uncomfortable at all!” she raves. “I’m short so I worried it would be too long, but it looks so great, hits about mid-calf for me. This dress honestly looks so nice, I’m already planning to get it in more colors.”
Sharon S. thinks Quince and the Silk Notch Collar Blouse are lovely. “I actually ordered it for my daughter,” she writes. “The first one in large was a tiny bit tight so we used Quince’s wonderful return policy to get the extra-large and it fits just great.”
