Mindy Kaling Wore Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee

We’re at the point in summer where any new clothing I buy has to be something I can wear once the seasons change. I live in Los Angeles, and the changes in season are minimal at best, so transitional wardrobe staples are truly year-round wardrobe staples. Think: staples like a good tee, a solid pair of jeans, and a lightweight cardigan. 

In fact, actress Mindy Kaling took to her Instagram to share one of the best rich-girl wardrobe staples that’s a transitional season must: a cashmere tee. Featuring short sleeves and a relaxed silhouette, the casual go-to is elevated thanks to the lightweight knit material. What’s more, her exact tee is from Quince, comes in a bunch of different colors, and costs a reasonable $45. 

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Tee

The Mongolian Cashmere Tee has a relaxed fit with short sleeves and ribbed cuffs. It’s made of 100 percent Grade-A Mongolian cashmere with a super fine knit and lightweight texture that makes it great for layering without appearing bulky or making you overheat. I know cashmere is often thought of as warm and heavy, but the knit material makes this piece great for warm weather. It wears just like a T-shirt, but looks far more elevated, so it pairs well with trousers, silk pants, jeans, mini skirts, and so much more. 

Shoppers have lots of good things to say about this knit tee, so much so that many of them own multiples of it, too. One noted this cashmere tee makes dress pants look “more professional,” and makes jeans feel “more elegant than a regular T-shirt would.” Countless others rave about the “quality,” “fit,” and “soft fabric,” as well. 

I love the style on Kaling, so I’ve already added a couple of the cashmere tees to my cart. I know I’ll wear them with jean shorts for the rest of summer, and can’t wait to layer them with bomber jackets and blazers in the fall and winter.
