After more than a year of working with Sézane and wearing their pieces (nearly) daily, I wanted to put together a recap of the best (aka most versatile, most worn, and best quality) items I’ve had the pleasure of adding to my closet. When I reflect on this list, I realize that each of the silhouettes is unique to Sézane, meaning you won’t find a dupe like it on sites like J.Crew, Madewell, etc. The silhouettes sell out again and again for a reason. Today I’m sharing, in no particular order, the wardrobe staples I would buy from Sézane if I were building my closet from scratch.
Here are my favorite wardrobe staples I’ve received this year from Sézane.
1. Betty Cardigan
$170
Crafted from merino wool, the Betty Cardigan is ideal for winter. A stylish crochet finish along the collar, pockets, and bottom sleeves adds a touch of texture to your outfit, making it perfect for any occasion—from work to weekend plans. This timeless piece can be paired with everything from jeans to skirts to create various looks.
A Note on Fit: This runs a tad small. Consider ordering up a size.
2. Jacques Trousers
$170
I’m apple-shaped and have mostly stayed away from paper bag trousers, as they traditionally haven’t been very flattering on me. Not these, however. The fit of these trousers is incredible—they’re flattering and very comfortable.
A Note on Fit: They fit true to size. You probably will need to get them hemmed if you are below 5’ 7”.
3. Emile Cardigan
$170
The Emile cardigan is perfect. It can be worn with the buttons in the front or the back! The light alpaca and wool blend makes it cozy enough for chilly days, while the ballooned sleeves give it a fun silhouette. It looks great paired with jeans and a tee or with a feminine skirt and blouse.
A Note on Fit: It fits true to size. However, it has a slightly oversized fit, so if you are in between sizes, consider choosing the size below.
4. Louise Jumper
$145
The Louise jumper is a must-have wardrobe staple. This super kid mohair jumper features long sleeves, a round neckline, and a button placket at the bottom of the sleeve. Pair it with high-waisted jeans and boots for a classic look or with a mini skirt and heels for a more polished look. I also love to throw this around my shoulders or convert it to a scarf. No matter how you style it, this versatile piece will always make you look effortlessly chic.
A Note on Fit: This sweater runs large. Size down two sizes if you’d like a more fitted look!
5. Brut Sexy
$125
This pair of jeans has a hold on me. I have been wearing my grey ones nonstop and have gotten compliments on them at the grocery store. It’s a great cut if you miss the style of denim with a narrower leg but still want to feel very current. I love pairing cream denim with crisp whites and navy. Pair these with a tucked-in blouse or a fitted tee for an effortless yet elegant silhouette.
A Note on Fit: Size up in these jeans. I’m usually a size 25 in denim but wear a 27 in these. Also, be sure to consider the fit notes listed below each wash, as different washes will fit differently. This cream color is made of 99% organic cotton and 1% elastane and runs bigger than my grey pair, which is 100% organic cotton.
6. Romie Bag
$430
A classic, minimal black bucket bag was high on my list this year. I love styles by The Row and Céline but they aren’t in my budget. The Romie is absolutely gorgeous and has that understated luxury feel that reminds me of what I love about The Row and Céline. It’s also a fraction of the cost of those bags! The Romie bag is the perfect accessory to carry all your essentials in an effortless, elevated style.
7. Tobias Jumper
$170
I can’t get enough of Sézane’s knitwear. This half-zip sweater feels like a dream and is perfect for layering. This sweater is so good I wear it everywhere—the grocery store, Pilates class, and out to dinner. It’s perfect for running errands or grabbing a casual lunch with friends.
A Note on Fit: The Tobias sweater fits true to size. However, if you prefer a more fitted look, I recommend going down a size.
