Full Sezane Review of Their Best Sellers

Today I’m sharing my honest full Sezane review, covering everything from sizing to style details. If you have been following me for a while, you know Sézane is one of my most-worn brands- I even have several blog posts dedicated to them! But in this review, I’m focusing on their best-selling pieces that I truly love. I find Sezane strikes the perfect balance between high quality and fair pricing, with a unique selection that feels both timeless and special. If there’s a specific style you’d like me to include in this review, let me know!

Full Sezane Review of Their Best Sellers

Sezane French Brand

Before we dive into the actual styles, let’s take a look at the brand as a whole. I’m actually quite surprised at how many people are not familiar with this French brand. Maybe it’s because I connect with it so much, and it feels like such a go-to for me, that I feel like everyone knows about it.

This incredible brand got its start with vintage clothing. Founder Morgan Sezalory started out by finding and selling vintage clothes on ebay. Does anyone remember how huge ebay used to be for buying and selling? I would spend hours searching, mostly for vintage home items. Morgan would search out vintage pieces and change out the buttons, or sew a hem just right. Then she would add them to her store. This success found its way to eventually creating the Sezane brand. Inspired by vintage finds, nostalgic prints, and of course, effortless Parisian flair.

Today Sezane is a lifestyle brand that encompasses the modern woman and man. The seasonal and monthly curated collections tell a story while staying connected to its french roots. The overall vibe is effortless, feminine (without being too girly), and a sophisticated style. This is a great go-to brand for anyone who does not want to spend too much time deciding what to wear. It’s very much a “grab and go” from the closet type of collection. Stylish yet approachable dressing at its best. You always have something to wear with Sezane.

Sezane’s Best Sellers

Gaspard Cardigan Sweater

The Gaspard cardigan is the most iconic Sezane knit. If there is one piece worth investing in, it’s this one. This Sezane review would not be complete without it. What I love about the Gaspard (besides the gorgeous assortment of seasonal colors offered), is its versatility. You can wear it with the buttons in front or in the back, depending on your outfit, occasion, or mood.

For a clean and polished look, I like to wear the Gaspard cardigan with the buttons in the back. Styled with pants, this would be a go-to work outfit for me. For a more casual or relaxed lunch date, I would wear the buttons in the front with maybe a camisole peaking out from underneath.

Sizing runs true to size however, like most Sezane sweaters, the Gaspard is meant for an oversized fit. I am wearing a size XXS which is what I normally take in Sezane sweaters since I prefer a roomy yet not oversized fit.

A quick note: Some people find the Gaspard to be itchy due to the composition which contains about 30% super kid mohair, giving it that soft, fuzzy texture. If you are sensitive to wool or mohair, try layering a tank top underneath for added comfort.

Betty Cardigan: The French Lady Jacket

The Betty cardigan is a French take on the classic lady jacket. It’s such a timeless wardrobe essential. I own this in several colors, and each one is incredibly versatile. Whether worn untucked for a relaxed feel or tucked into high-waisted pants for a polished look, it always delivers effortless style.

Although this cardigan is made from 100% wool, it’s surprisingly soft and comfortable. The collar detail adds just the right amount of polish to elevate any outfit. Pair it with tailored pants for the office or style it with straight-leg jeans and ballet flats for everyday chic.

It has a classic fit, so I recommend taking your true size. I’m wearing an XS.

 

Sezane Review: Chuck Trousers

The Chuck trousers are without a doubt, my most-loved and best fitting pants. While they are currently only available in a stunning chocolate velvet, I’m crossing my fingers for a full restock—I’ve even emailed Sézane asking them to bring these back!

What makes the Chuck trousers so special is their high waist and straight-leg cut, which creates the illusion of longer legs (I’m 5’2″). Plus the front button details adds just the right amount of visual interest and charm. The recycled polyester and wool blend feels soft, comfortable. and has a nice weight to it. As you can see, I’m wearing the ecru color and you cannot see through them at all.

When it comes to sizing, if you are in between sizes, I recommend sizing up in these. Otherwise stick to your normal size. I wear a size 2 in the Chuck Trousers which fits more like an American size 0. I have them in both ecru and camel, and they’re equally stylish and comfortable.

I truly hope Sezane brings these back in more colors- they are such a wardrobe gem! In the meantime, the Dan Trousers (featured below) are a fantastic alternative worth exploring.

Sezane Review: Dan Trousers

The Dan trousers are just as stylish as the Chuck trousers but sizing can vary depending on the fabric you choose. Both styles have a high waist and straight-leg but there’s one key difference: the Chuck trousers have a button-up fly, while the Dan trousers feature a single-button closure with a zipper.

The Dan trousers are currently available in several colors and fabrics. I’m wearing the Cyan jean wash (pictured above) which is a rigid denim fabric made from 99% cotton. This wash fits similarly to the Chuck trousers- stick to your usual size, or consider sizing up since the fabric does not stretch. I wear a size 2 in the denim Dan trousers.

However the recycled polyester/wool blend version of the Dan trousers has more stretch and runs slightly larger. If you are in-between sizes, I recommend sizing down. For example, while I wear a size 2 in both the Chuck trousers and the denim Dan trousers, but I prefer a size 0 in the poly/wool Dan trousers (also shown above). The main difference lies in the waist fit.

For reference, I am 5’2″ and needed to have both the Dan and the Chuck trousers hemmed.

Chlo Shirt

My beloved Pierro shirt has a new rival. I’m falling more in love with the Sezane Chloe shirt. The delicate ruffle trim adds such a feminine yet effortless touch, making it feel special without trying too hard.

The Chloe shirt comes in several fabrics and prints, but I’m especially drawn to this organic cotton version with its classic stripes and lace trim. It pairs effortlessly with jeans or tailored pants. For a more elevated look, the 100% silk version (available in multiple colors) is perfect as a refined work shirt or an easy yet polished dinner date outfit paired with your Dan trousers.

I’m wearing a size 0, which fits comfortably. For reference, most of my Pierro shirts are size 2, simply because size 0 wasn’t available when I purchased them. Honestly, the difference between the two sizes is so minimal that I could go either way. My advice? Choose your regular size, or size up if you prefer a roomier fit.

Sezane Coats- Johnson Coat

The Johnson coat is Sezane’s signature coat, and for good reason. It’s straight cut and double breasted closure keeps this classic yet elevated, and wearable for many years to come.

Every wardrobe needs a timeless neutral coat. It’s the most versatile outerwear option since it goes with everything. This is a great coat if you need something versatile enough to carry you from day-to-day activities, through to night time events. The Johnson coat is a true blend of casual elegance.

This mid-length coat is lined for extra warmth, adding both style and practicality to your winter wardrobe. I’m wearing a size 2, which fits like an American XS. I love it so much, I even have it in navy!

I have an entire blog post on Sezane coats I own and love if you need more details!

 

Sezane Scott Trench Coat

The Scott trench coat is Sezane’s take on the classic French-style trench. With its traditional cut and tailored look, it’s a timeless wardrobe staple. Made from 100% organic cotton, it’s also an excellent option for petites (I’m 5’2″), as the length hits just right without overwhelming a smaller frame.

For sizing, take your true size for a classic fit, or size up if you prefer a more oversized look. I’m wearing a size 0 here.

I often get asked about the difference between the Sezane Scott Trench and The Curated Tailored Trench. The Scott trench leans into that iconic trench coat style, with a slightly heavier fabric and a more structured feel. On the other hand, The Curated trench is lighter and has an open-front design secured with a belt instead of buttons. I hope this Sezane review helps!

Sezane Review: Pippa Dress

The Pippa dress is a Sezane classic! This is their best-selling dress, and for a good reason. This simple yet elevated t-shirt dress gets a modern twist with the tie-waist detail. Use this to tighten and define your waist a bit.

Made from 100% organic cotton, the Pippa dress will quickly become your go-to summer dress! It’s comfortable enough for running errands during the day with sneakers, and sitting down for dinner at night with a pair of sandals. I’m wearing a size XS for a comfortable fit. Take your true size in this dress. No need to size down.

Sezane Shoes: Alice Heel Pumps

The Alice heels are some beauties! The chunky heel is very modern yet retro, and so comfortable to wear. They come in a range of colors but I prefer the embossed gold. I think the gold is a great neutral for dressy or casual styles. You can wear these with a dress, skirt, or jeans. Versatile pieces really extend your wardrobe.

Sizing on the US site is listed in US sizes. However you will receive these with the French size listed on the shoes. Due to size conversions, not all half sizes are offered. For example, if you order a US size 7, you will receive a French size 38, which is the French equivalent.

For reference, I wear a size 7 in most American shoes (Stuart Weitzman, Sam Edelman, Dolce Vita), and a size 7.5 (or 37.5) in shoes made in Italy and Spain (Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Sarah Flint, Inez) because they are usually a bit more narrow. I wear a size 7 in Sezane, and they arrive as a French size 38. The fit is perfect for me. It is confusing at first, but Sezane offers free returns within 15 days. And once you know your size, you are good!

Sezane Milo Bag Review

The classic leather Milo bag is one of Sezane’s iconic pieces. This is the brand’s core bag that is available season after season. While some colors are classic and always available, some colors are seasonal. I have the Sezane Milo Classic bag in natural heritage leather, as well as in black and a beautiful taupe! Depending on the lighting, the natural heritage color can lean towards a warm brown or a cognac color. My photos above shows the true color pretty well. This is such a great bag for it’s timeless appeal and amazing quality.

I have been eying the Celine classic bag for a long time now but I’m glad I held off. This Milo bag is a pretty close Celine bag dupe, but for a much more affordable price. The sizes are similar- the Celine bag being 9″ x 7″ x 3″ and the Sezane Milo bag being 9.4″ 6.7″ x 1.8″. The Milo bag arrives in a beautiful box with a dust bag included. As soon as I opened the bag, the scent of fresh leather just poured out. I love that! Overall this is a highly recommended bag that you will wear season after season. I’m wearing it here with the gorgeous Krissy lace dress (wearing a size 2). You can read more about Sezane bags in my previous Sezane bag post.

Sezane Dresses Review- Victoria Dress

Sezane dresses are always a win! The casual style mixed with vintage inspired patterns and details are what make them unique. I would say the closest other brand to them is Reformation, another go-to of mine. I love the Victoria midi dress for several reasons. First, the square neck-line is so flattering. It makes this dress wearable for both casual and dressy occasions. Wear it with heels for an elevated night-time look, or flat sandals for an effortless casual look. Second, they always bring it back in different patterns and colors. Once you know that you love a dress, it’s easy to just choose your next pattern. I’m hoping Sezane brings this one back!

The fit is a little personal. For this style, I feel that the sizing is a little on the larger side. I’m wearing a size 2 which the smallest size offered in this style. As you can see from my photos, it looks like it fits just right. However it feels a little loose in the bust. I would say that if you are a true size 2, this should fit fine, however if you are in between 0 and 2 like me, it might feel a little loose unless you have a larger chest. Overall though, this dress is at the top of my list for so many occasions.

 

Raffia Bags and Totes

I have to say, Sezane is really stepping it up with their raffia bags. Maybe it’s because there’s nothing more chic or French, then a casual straw bag paired with florals and stripes for summer. It’s very Jane Birkin-ish, the ultimate French style icon. While you really can’t go wrong with any of their raffia bags, here’s my top 2 favorites.

The Jude Basket bag is a jumbo sized should bag that is big enough to hold all of your summer essentials. It’s a seasonal bag so may not be available all year long. I like this one for daytime outings. You can fit your wallet, phone, keys, a small make-up bag, water bottle, and sunglasses. I’ve even thrown in a book. This is a great one to take to the farmer’s market, beach, or pool. Size is 14.6 x 17.3 x 13.8 inches.

Next is the adorable Zina basket bag (another seasonal favorite). This is a top-handle bag so is best to wear when you don’t necessarily need your hands free. It has the same ruffle details as the Jude bag but in a smaller size. This one is also very roomy without being oversized. I love this one for lunch dates and quick outings. Size is 9.8 x 9.8 x 2.8 inches. This one is currently sold out! I’ll update this post when it restocks.

Sezane Review: Sizing Guide

Sezane really does a great job with their fit descriptions for each product. I have found that when they tell you to size up or down, it is spot on. Plus their sizes overall have expanded over the years and generally includes sizes 0-14.

In general, Sezane sweaters have an oversized fit. I tend to always choose a size XXS for chunkier knits (I’m 5’2″, 105 lbs) , but the more fitted and thinner versions (like the Dita sweater), I often choose to wear a size (XS) for extra comfort. By the way, the Dita sweater is a great staple item and wardrobe capsule basic. I love it for work with pants, tucked into a skirt, or worn with jeans. A great top to have!

In pants I tend wear a size 0 or 2 depending on the fit description listed for the product (as I mentioned in the descriptions above for the Chuck and Dan trousers). For reference I wear a size 24 or 25 in Paige jeans, a size 24 in Mother jeans, a size 24 in J.Crew jeans, a size 24 in AG jeans. Every brand fits a little bit different but once you find your size, future ordering will be easier.

Sezane Collections and Sales

Sezane has both seasonal and monthly collections. The anticipation is always high as some items sell out super quick. Stock is kept to a comfortable amount so there is less chance of overproduction, and reduced waste. Because of the limited runs on most collections, Sezane does not usually have sales. You may see a percentage off for a day or so, or a gift with purchase from time to time, but no end of season sales.

If you see an item that you love and it’s sold out, here’s a tip: every Wednesday they add returns back to the site. You may be able to snag your coveted item from a return. In addition, they do occasionally have Archive sales which is additional stock (from returns or left over stock) on previous seasons and collections. You may be able to get a deal here. From my personal experience, if you see item you love, grab it!

Sézane US Shipping & Returns

Sezane makes returns easy! A pre-paid UPS shipping label is included with every order. You have 15 days from the date you receive your order to make a return free of charge. The best part too, if you live in the US, shipping goes back to a US location. No need to wait for your items to be shipped back to France to receive your credit. Be sure to go to “My orders” on your Sezane account, select the order number you want to return, and complete the online request. If you misplace the label included in the packaging, you can re-print another label at this point. Super easy!
