We’ve recommended an array of Quince products over time on FabList because we love Quince! Why? Quince came to life to challenge the existing idea that nice things have to be expensive. Their mission was simple: to create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a significantly lower price. Who

Who wears short shorts these days? Not us! But this season, some fantastic longer-length shorts are having a major moment, which puts us back in the shorts game. The cuts are tailored, flattering, and wearable for women our age who want a bit more coverage. From chic bermudas to sporty walking shorts, these lengths (from
