Quince Has So Many Vacation-ready Styles Under $50 for Summer—Here, the 15 Best Finds on Linen and More

Quince has mastered the art of crafting wardrobe essentials that are both high-quality and affordable, so naturally it's become my go-to destination ahead of summer travels—especially thanks to its specially curated Vacation Shop. Luckily, the site is bursting with pieces practically made for my upcoming weekend on Cape Cod, and since I've been balling on a budget lately, I challenged myself to put together a list of the items I've been coveting under $50.
If you're drawn to loose silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and impeccable construction in your summer wardrobe (and let's face it, who isn't?), keep reading to find the 15 best Quince picks you'll want to snag for all your upcoming adventures. I've found breezy maxi dresses, linen pants, skirts, and more starting at just $20, and everything is so versatile you'll never run out of ways to mix and match your new outfits throughout the season.

I practically live in maxi dresses during the summer, and this gauzy high-neck option is exactly what my closet has been lacking to stave off the heat wave in style. The simple silhouette of this dress will be easy to dress up or down by simply switching out my footwear and other accessories, and it's a breeze to throw on for a day of sightseeing to look put-together without too much effort. The lightweight organic cotton fabric will stay cool on even the warmest days, and yes, it has pockets.
No matter the season, I travel with a lightweight layer in my personal item, and the Quince 100 percent Organic Cotton Cropped Cardigan is my favorite pick for the warmer months. Large faux tortoise shell buttons down the front make it stand out from the many other cardigans in my collection, and its slightly boxy fit looks great when worn open or buttoned to the top. It even comes in six neutral shades, all of which would be easy to style with whatever is in my suitcase.
I've long struggled to find a comfortable pair of shorts that I actually reach for, but these breezy linen ones may be the answer—and they're just $30. The stretchy elastic waistband and convenient pull-on design makes them well-suited for beach and pool days when worn over a bathing suit, but they're also the perfect length to dress up with heels and a cute blouse, making them a versatile addition to my collection. I'm currently eyeing them in the white color, but they also come in three other shades, including bright red and simple black.
A basic camisole is one of the most underrated wardrobe essentials for summer travel since it's versatile, classy, and lightweight in the heat. I've been on the hunt for some new tops to wear when going out to dinner, and this simple black tank instantly caught my eye since it'll be just as stylish with a black mini skirt as a simple pair of jeans. It's made from a luxurious blend of silk and spandex for some stretch and give, and its adjustable straps won't be at risk of sliding off my shoulders throughout the day. The fabric will keep me cool in the summer heat, and the dark color won't easily reveal sweat. I may even be tempted to snag it in more than one of the six available colors.
Wide-leg pants are my go-to style year-round, so during the summer I like to trade in my baggy jeans for a similar silhouette in a linen material, and this $40 pair from Quince is about to become my new favorite. Made of 100 percent linen, these pants will be breathable and lightweight through the thick of the summer heat, while the adjustable drawstring elastic waistband should sit comfortably during a long flight without digging into my skin. I'm petite, so I was thrilled to see there were three different inseam options. I'm grabbing a basic black or white pair to start off, but I'm admittedly intrigued by the full eight-color range.
I've been searching high and low for a classy beach cover-up for months, and after laying eyes on this knit dress, I know I've found it. The crochet design of this long-sleeve mini will be easy to pack, and I love that the semi-sheer knit shows just a peek of bathing suit while still providing nice coverage. The pull-on design is convenient and fuss-free, and I especially adore the bell-sleeve detailing and high-quality cotton construction. The real question is which of the three shades I should buy?
A well-rounded collection of basics is essential for traveling in the summer since those pieces tend to be easy to mix and match without taking up too much suitcase space. Quince's Cropped Square-neck Ribbed Knit Tank checks all my boxes at $35, with thicker straps and a flattering cropped fit made of a stretchy recycled nylon blend. The timeless color selection means it can be paired with anything from a patterned mini skirt to a pair of bold flowy pants, and it's just as easily styled dressed down as up.
On the days I don't feel like wearing a maxi dress during the summer, there's a good chance I'll reach for a maxi skirt instead—and the thigh-high slit on this linen pick ensures it'll keep me cool and comfortable despite the longer length. This skirt is designed with pockets and a stretchy elastic waistband (two of my favorite features), and it's made with 100 percent linen fabric that's breathable, casual, and timeless. Since I'm working to move my neutrals collection away from just black and white, it's the deep navy shade I'm adding to my cart for only $40.
Linen is the unofficial fabric of the summer, and in my efforts to expand my shirt collection for the warmer months, I picked up the 100 percent European Linen Strapless Top to wear with my favorite wide-leg pants, skirts, and more. This effortlessly cool top is so light that you'll never run the risk of overheating due to bulky fabric, and the hem falls right at my hips, striking the perfect balance on my petite frame. Elastic at the top of the shirt keeps it firmly in place without slipping off throughout the day, and it comes in white, black, and striped (although it's worth noting that the shirt isn't lined, so the lighter colors may be see-through).
I'll be going to Cape Cod and the Hamptons this summer, and the Italian Cami One-piece Swimsuit is exactly what I've been looking for to feel confident at the beach. I don't always love a cheeky fit, so I'm drawn to the more full-coverage bottom this bathing suit provides, but it also shows a tasteful amount of skin up top. The stretchy, flattering fabric is made with UPF 50 sun protection, and I can't get enough of its bold cherry red color and $50 price point.
Made from a light and stretchy recycled polyester blend, this flouncy midi dress is the perfect piece to have on hand during my travels since it can be styled in so many different ways. The material is quick-drying and moisture-wicking so I won't have to worry about sweating through it after sitting for a long time (admittedly my greatest fear during the summer), and it's fitted with two pockets that are deep enough to hold my in-flight snacks. If you're looking for something to throw on in a pinch that immediately looks put-together, this fit and flare dress is just that—and it's only $50.
A lightweight button-down is an unbeatable layer for beach days, city vacations, and more, and at $45, this 100 percent organic cotton option is a high-quality pick that won't break the bank. I prefer my button-downs in black or white since they pair with more pieces in my wardrobe, but this top is also available in seven other shades if you're looking for a pop of color. Sizes ranging from XS to XL ensure you can find the ideal fit whether you like your tops oversized or more snug, plus the super-soft material will be a comfort against your skin during long travel days this summer.
While I'm restocking on wardrobe basics this summer, I know I can't go wrong with a traditional scoop neck tank, and the $20 price tag on this organic cotton pick makes it especially appealing. The neckline shows just the right amount of skin without feeling too revealing, plus it's made with a ribbed material that's stretchy and breathable. I'm drawn to the deep navy shade since it's less likely to reveal sweat, but it also comes in a simple heather grey shade that'll surely become another suitcase must-have.
Bermuda shorts are back in style this summer, and while I'm not totally sold on the trend yet, this $40 pair from Quince is the perfect way to test out the look without breaking the bank. Made with a blend of organic cotton and spandex for a touch of stretch, the longline cut of the shorts makes them less likely to cause inner-thigh chafing during walking tours and beyond, and the mid-rise waistband shouldn't dig into my skin. They can be paired with kitten heels, sneakers, or simple sandals so I'll never run out of ways to style them, and they've even received an impressive 4.7-star average rating on the site.
I've always been enchanted by beachy crochet purses, so when I saw this roomy shoulder bag at Quince for only $50, it's safe to say I fell in love. Channeling the carefree vibes I aim to capture with my summer style, this spacious bag is my dream pick for vacationing and wandering around New York City in my day to day, and it's thoughtfully made with several zippered pockets, a magnetic closure, and a packable design. It'll hold my everyday essentials with ease while instantly taking even the simplest outfits to the next level, and I won't have to worry about its knit straps causing irritation on my shoulder. My instinct is to snag it in the natural brown color, but its black and sea blue iterations are equally as appealing.

"I almost missed practice a couple times" - When Magic Johnson turned a Bel-Air mansion into his own basketball-disco paradise

"I almost missed practice a couple times" - When Magic Johnson turned a Bel-Air mansion into his own basketball-disco paradise originally appeared on Basketball Network. By the mid-1980s, Magic Johnson had already conquered just about everything worth conquering. Championships, Finals MVPs, endorsement deals, you name it. But even with all the on-court success and off-court fame, he was still living in a Culver City apartment, which didn't quite align with his superstar status in the Association. All of that changed when the Los Angeles Lakers icon finally found a home that matched his off-court persona and energy: a six-bedroom, Tudor-style estate tucked deep in the hills of Bel-Air. This wasn't about flexing his money, although it definitely had some of that as well; it was about finally finding the place he could call home, no matter how cheesy it might sound. From the moment Magic stepped foot inside, he knew the search for his place under the sun was over. "We started off with this one," Johnson said in 1985 via the LA Times. "I told him, 'I don't have to look anymore, George (his attorney). This is it.' All I had to see was one room (now his disco), the racquetball court and the bathtub. Where else am I really gonna be?" "I always wanted to own a home, but I wanted it to be different. I wanted a special place," Magic Man added. "Hey, I'm blessed. I never would have imagined this. The house I grew up in back home could probably fit into the gym (racquetball court), and your imagination can only go as far as what you've seen." So perfect that it felt like a dream for Johnson The house sits at the end of a winding road, with canyon walls on both sides and nothing but open green space stretching out behind it. It's quiet. No traffic, no noise, no distractions. Just a backyard with twin grills, a red-brick pool deck (in which Magic hadn't just yet jumped in) and a whole lot of open blue sky above the City of Angels. It was perfect for enjoying the little bit of time that an NBA player of his caliber has on his hands. However, that's the kind of setup that can easily break your daily routine, and, in Johnson's case, mess up with practice schedules. "I almost missed practice a couple times," the man who orchestrated the Showtime in LA said. "I'd be out here eating breakfast. I'd be daydreaming, just kind of in a trance, and then I'd look at my watch and see I was almost late for practice." In addition to all that, inside the house, Magic had transformed one of the rooms into a disco, complete with lights and a sound system, where he could unwind and throw a few moves when the mood struck. "I don't just like music, I love it," Johnson added. "When I saw this room, I said, 'Oh, man, I know what I want to do with this .' I spend an hour or two in here every day. This is where I live." Magic didn't stop after getting his mansion That Bel-Air mansion might've been Magic's first real taste of a settled life in Los Angeles, but he didn't settle for long. After moving in, Johnson added three more championship rings to his resume: one in 1985, another in 1987 and his final one in 1988. He finally received his first, well-deserved, MVP award and added two more for good measure. Magic Man also continued to elevate the Lakers dynasty alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy to make it one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. By the time the decade was over, so was the debate about where he stood among the game's greatest point guards. Johnson had redefined the position and the trophy case did all the talking for him. Even now, 40 years later, he's still the bar that every new floor general gets measured against. The man who used to nearly miss practice while eating breakfast next to the Bel-Air hills… And no matter how many properties he's owned since, that first one still feels like the place where Magic truly felt like story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

Do You Have An 'Aisle Lice' Problem? Here's How To Tell.

If you've ever taken a flight, you know the chaos that often ensues after landing when the pilot turns off the 'fasten seatbelt' sign. People are jumping to their feet, swinging their bags down and in some cases, even getting into altercations. And of course, there are the 'aisle lice.' This deplaning phenomenon is quite common, but it can be frustrating nonetheless. Below, travel and etiquette experts break down what the term 'aisle lice' means and what you should know about this behavior before your next flight. What does 'aisle lice' refer to? ''Aisle lice' is a term used to describe airline passengers who immediately stand up and cluster in the aisle as soon as the plane arrives at the gate, often before the seatbelt sign is turned off,' said Lauren Gumport, vice president of communications at Faye Travel Insurance. It's related to the concept of 'gate lice,' the folks who crowd the gate area at the airport during the boarding process, well before their group number is called. 'Anyone who has been on a commercial flight in economy knows the cramped nature of deplaning,' said Katy Nastro, a spokesperson for the flight alert service Going. 'Elbows in faces, bags coming from all angles in the overhead bins and of course, the impatient people who crowd the aisle. Regardless of seat assignment, some people will rush to the front of the aisle in an effort to deplane as fast as possible.' Although aisle lice typically refers to those who refuse to patiently wait in their designated seat until their row's turn to deplane, the term might also apply to passengers who stand and take up space in the aisle at other inopportune moments. 'So long as the attendants have finished their service, it is perfectly acceptable to stand or walk back and forth to stretch your legs. If there is beverage or meal service, you need to remain in your seat.' said Jodi R.R. Smith, the president of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting. 'While generally used when referring to airplanes, aisle lice can also be found on trains, buses, subways, and even boats,' she added. What's driving this phenomenon?'In some cases, people are trying to make a tight connection, and they are likely the ones to rush ahead with an apology attached to provide context as to why they need to cut ahead,' Nastro said. 'Others are just too impatient to wait either in their seat or near their seat, inching as close to the plane door as possible without any regard for the unofficial deplaning protocol. Maybe they are late for a business meeting, or family emergency.' Whatever the case, she added that it's rare to get a full explanation as to why a particular passenger feels they should be allowed to deplane out of order. Smith emphasized that there can be valid reasons for aisle lice behavior. For instance, there might have been a long delay that shortened passengers' connection times. In these cases, even a few moments can mean the difference between making the next leg or being stranded overnight. 'But other passengers are just done being seated and want to stand to stretch their legs,' Smith said. 'And yes, there are a subset of passengers that are just plain pushy.' After long delays, flight attendants often make a pre-landing announcement asking passengers arriving at their final destinations to stay seated and allow those with tight connections to deplane more quickly. However, not everyone honors such requests. 'Aisle lice behavior is often driven by a mix of impatience, anxiety and a desire to be among the first off the plane ― whether to catch a tight connection, beat the crowd to baggage claim or simply stretch after a long flight,' Gumport said. 'In some cases, it's habit or social mimicry. People see others standing and assume they should, too.' She added that standing prematurely doesn't speed up the deplaning process in most cases. 'And it can create unnecessary congestion and tension, especially in tight cabin spaces,' Gumport said. 'That said, I wouldn't label it malicious ― it's more of a minor annoyance.' Dollar Flight Club founder and CEO Jesse Neugarten agreed that the phenomenon can be annoying, but the urge is relatable. 'I've definitely found myself standing up earlier than I needed to, especially on long travel days,' he said. 'This is one of those classic examples of how air travel kind of brings out weird habits in all of us. Everyone's tired, no one wants to be last. It's not the biggest deal, but it's one of those things where if everyone just relaxed a bit, the whole process would be smoother for everyone.' How can you not let aisle lice disrupt your air travel experience?'Aisle lice has become an even hotter topic in some places,' Nastro noted. 'Recently, Turkish Aviation Authorities have implemented a fine for people who stand up too early in the deplaning process, specifically when it is not safe to do so. These are extreme cases of people really going beyond deplaning etiquette.'In places where passengers are not fined for bad deplaning behavior, however, there are different ways to deal with aisle lice. 'Stand by and let pass, or kill 'em with kindness,' Nastro advised. 'If someone does rush ahead, you can consider politely asking if they have a connection or emergency, and if not, just explain that there is a general deplaning etiquette that ensures everyone gets off as efficiently as possible. If the other person isn't willing to oblige, well, you tried to do your part.' Regardless of how you feel, she emphasized the importance of patience and common courtesy in the deplaning process. 'If there is room, I am all for some of the passengers standing up in the aisle because this allows those still seated in the row a bit more elbow room and the ability to actually look around their seats to gather all of their belongings,' Smith said. 'It also allows for the overheads to be opened, making for easier unloading. What is not OK is pushing those standing in the aisle. Not every aisle seat will be able to stand, and if the passenger across the aisle from you has already stood, you will need to wait.' For those bothered by the aisle lice rush, she recommended booking a window seat and remaining seated until the majority of passengers have disembarked so that you may leave at your leisure. 'Honestly, what is more of a nuisance, especially in airplane travel, are those passengers who stand lollygagging in the aisle, turning this way and that, surprised that it is their turn, while blocking others from disembarking,' Smith said. 'Passengers who require extra time or assistance should, as the airline state, remain comfortably seated, allowing others to pass.' She also urged travelers to pay attention to where their fellow passengers' heads are as they pull their luggage from the overhead for those who stand up in the aisle during the flight, Smith emphasized presuming positive intent. 'Not everyone is able to sit still for hours on end,' she noted. 'For others, it may be medically necessary for them to walk and stretch during the journey.' Related...

BREAKUP ALERT? Love Island's JaNa Craig Unfollows Kenny Rodriguez on Instagram

The fairy tale may be over. One of Love Island USA's most beloved couples might have quietly called it quits, and fans are already mourning the potential end of JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez's whirlwind romance. The speculation is loud, the social media evidence is damning, and while no official statement has been made, the writing might be on the villa wall. JaNa and Kenny, who found love on Season 6 of Love Island USA and are currently appearing on the spinoff series Love Island: Beyond The Villa, are the latest couple to face intense breakup rumors. If the digital trail is any indication, this might not just be a rough patch. It could be the end of their post-show relationship altogether. Instagram Clues Spark Split Speculation Pop Crave fired the first shot in the rumor war, posting on X (formerly Twitter) that JaNa Craig had not only unfollowed Kenny Rodriguez on Instagram, but also scrubbed all traces of their relationship from her feed. Every kiss, every cuddle, every poolside flirtation is gone. For fans who track Love Island couples like detectives on a case, this wasn't just suspicious. It was alarming. And the damage didn't stop there. According to fan sleuths, JaNa's villa ride-or-dies, Leah Kateb and Serena Page, also unfollowed Kenny in what appears to be a clear show of loyalty to their PPG (Pretty Pink Gang) girl. Leah and Serena were vocal about their support for JaNa throughout Season 6, and their coordinated social media distancing is reading loud and clear: something went down. The Real-Life Disconnect: Vegas vs. Dallas While social media says a lot, it's not the only red flag. Sources close to the couple have hinted that JaNa and Kenny's post-show realities may have started to drift apart. JaNa has been thriving in Las Vegas, fully leaning into her life as an influencer, content creator, and fashion ambassador. Kenny, on the other hand, has reportedly been considering a return to a full-time sales career in Dallas, a lifestyle that couldn't be further removed from JaNa's glammed-up world of events, brand trips, and camera-ready living. The logistical and emotional distance may have finally caught up with them. Fans Left in the Dark But Watching Closely What makes the rumored breakup even more awkward is the fact that JaNa and Kenny are still currently airing on Peacock's Love Island: Beyond The Villa, which was filmed before these breakup hints surfaced. The couple, who appeared to be in a stable if occasionally tense place during the spinoff's early episodes, are now being watched with an entirely different lens. What once felt like harmless drama, minor disagreements or differing opinions, could now read as the early unraveling of a relationship on life support. And for a fanbase known for emotionally investing in their favorite couples, it's an uncomfortable watch. 'It's giving PR disaster,' one fan posted on X'They need to drop a statement immediately or I'm going to lose my mind watching these next episodes,' another wrote A Sad Day for #JaNa Fans JaNa and Kenny had quickly become one of the most talked-about couples in Love Island USA history. With her sharp wit and undeniable screen presence and his grounded, boy-next-door charm, they seemed like the ideal post-villa match. But as past Love Island seasons have proved time and time again, what works in paradise doesn't always survive the plane ride home. And for all the fans still clinging to hope, the evidence keeps stacking up. If the unfollowing wasn't enough, if the photos disappearing wasn't enough, if the friend group exodus wasn't enough, then consider this: JaNa and Kenny were still interacting publicly on social media just days ago, as recently as Saturday, July 26, but even that seems to have come to a halt. Something shifted. Drastically. What's Next for JaNa & Kenny and the Show? Peacock's Love Island: Beyond The Villa drops new episodes weekly, meaning viewers are stuck in an odd time loop, watching a couple whose real-life status might already be finished play out the end of their 'happily ever after' on screen. If the breakup rumors are true, it poses a complicated question for the show's producers: Should they address it in real-time or let fans interpret the onscreen chemistry (or lack thereof) for themselves? As of now, no official comment has been made by JaNa, Kenny, or Peacock, but the silence is deafening. And in Love Island terms? That's rarely a good sign. The post BREAKUP ALERT?
