I’ve been on two warm-weather vacations recently, and one brand ended up being the MVP for both: Quince. Their pieces are easy, packable, and work well together without a lot of thought—and they even make great suitcases and travel bags.
So today I’m sharing what I’d recommend if you’re planning a trip—from the travel bags I’ve been using to the linen pieces and jewelry I wore on repeat.
Let’s start with the travel bags. I’ve already shared these quite a bit, but in case you missed it, I took the Expandable Carry-On Suitcase and Transit Quilted Duffle Bag to St. Lucia, and I used the suitcase again for this trip to Florida. They both hold so much and look great doing it. I especially love the organization of the duffle.

The Globe Boho Hoops are a great everyday earring. They’re super lightweight and comfortable, go with everything, and the 18K gold vermeil is beautiful. I wore them almost every day on both trips.
This Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress was one of my favorites in St. Lucia. I love the blue pinstripe—it’s so breezy and easy. I wore a wrap similar to this one since it did get a little chilly that night.
Fit tip: I sized up to a large in this dress.

The 100% European Linen Sleeveless Swing Dress is also really good. It’s a breezy, casual piece with pintucks and a button placket, and I appreciate that it’s regular bra-friendly. And for size reference, I take my usual medium in this dress.

I also really like the 100% European Linen Patch Pocket Wide Leg Pants in Flax. They do stretch, so you want them to fit a little snug at first.

I took the size 12 to St. Lucia, but they bagged out quite a bit, so I re-ordered the size 10 and packed them for this Florida trip, and they’ve worked out much better.

And finally, if you need a spring/summer outfit topper, their 100% European Linen Jacket makes the perfect completer piece. This Cotton Waffle Cropped Sweater Tank is really good, too.

If you’re planning a warm-weather trip and want pieces that make packing easier, Quince is definitely worth a look. I’ve been really impressed with how well these items worked together and how often I reached for them on both trips.

I noticed that you took a backpack on this trip to Florida. Which one do you prefer? The quilted duffel or the backpack? Planning a trip to New York soon and wondering which option would be best. I’m definitely going to order the Quince carry-on suitcase and they also have a backpack that could work?
I like the backpack when I want to be more agile, and I don’t need to put as much into the personal bag. The Quince quilted bag holds more and gives me a little more flexibility with what goes in my suitcase.
Would you please post a link to the backpack that you recommend?
I have this one: https://go.shopmy.us/p-40024335
Linen wrinkles so easily. How do you deal with linen pieces that have been packed? Do you iron them when you reach your destination?
No, I just hang them up right away.
Excellent post. Thank you for sharing about Quince.
Great pieces! Enjoy the rest of your stay in FL.
Love the Quince dresses, especially the sundress in the first photo; the black dress is cute too kind of reminds me of the Faherty brand one. All the Quince pieces appear to be very wearable and sustainable. Very flattering too!
Such a great review of Quince
I love Quince and enjoy seeing what others like and work for them
Great to see you post your size too as it helps me alot
Thank you
I have the linen pants per your recommendation and they fit alittle snugish, so should work great after they stretch. Can’t wait to wear them this week. Suppose to be nice here Easter weekend. Happy Holy Week.
Here are the books I’ve read by Kristen Harmel. I told you I’d give you the list. Of course The Book of lost Names I liked the best and you just read that so here it goes:
The Forest of Vanishing Stars
When We Meet Again
The Sweetness of Forgetting
The Room on Rue Amelie’
I’m currently reading her one called The Paris Daughter.
These are historical fiction and she really researches the history to get it correct. Enjoy your extended trip in the sunshine.
PS I also have the black sleeveless linen dress from last year and will wear it again this year.
Hope you’re enjoying your southern vacation. I think your linen jacket and linen pants would make a nice “suit”.
Hi JoLynne,
I’d like to purchase the expandable suitcase, but, the link goes to a cashmere sweater.
If I purchase it without your link, do you still receive credit?
Thank you!
Sorry about that. Here it is. https://goto.quince.com/bk3qzg
Love this! You look fabulous in everything. The linen pants are another item I’m eyeing.
I’ve found a few keepers recently on Quince, including the short sleeve/shorts pajama set. So comfy. I just returned from a beach wedding week on Key Colony Beach FL. Beautiful weather and area. I wore a Quince dress to the wedding, Lightweight Crepe Flutter Sleeve Midi Dress, in aqua. It’s beautiful! Enjoy your time at the beach.
