Your Ultimate Guide to Sezane
For nearly a decade, Sezane has been my go-to destination for quality pieces that strike the perfect balance between timeless and trendy. Their commitment to bringing back staple silhouettes in fresh prints and fabrics has made it easy to become familiar with their sizing and fits, allowing me to shop with confidence every season. Whether you're new to Sezane or a seasoned shopper, I’m excited to share my insights and personal reviews on the pieces I’ve added to my wardrobe over the years.
As a point of reference, I’m 5’4” with a pear-shaped figure. I typically wear a size S-M on top, a 30/10 in pants, 8.5-9 in shoes, and a size 8 in dresses. This guide will be updated regularly with every new product I acquire, so you can rely on it as a comprehensive resource for all things Sezane.

You can never have too many Will Jackets from Sezane—trust me on this one. This denim jacket was my first, and it’s an absolute favorite. The large pockets make it feel like a classic chore coat and are great for those who want to run errands without a bag. I opted for a size LARGE to allow for layering light knits underneath, and it fits perfectly
The Sezane Felix Jumper was my go-to piece last fall and winter. This lightweight cotton turtleneck has just the right amount of stretch, making it versatile enough to wear on its own or layered under dresses and sweaters. I chose a size MEDIUM, which was perfect for me. I love it so much that I’m tempted to buy one in every color! It’s also at a great price point compared to other similar styles on their site - $100! [As of March 2025, I own 5 Felix jumper’s the newest being the SOL PRINT pictured above.
As of now, the specific print of my Alicia skirt is no longer available online, the product link will take you to the latest available prints. This skirt is my favorite because of the high slit, which adds a playful, cheeky element to any outfit. I recommend wearing bike shorts underneath on windy days. I’m wearing a SIZE 10, and it fits beautifully.
The Sezane Tabata Skirt is another must-have in my wardrobe, and I own four of them—clearly, I’m a fan. This mid-length skirt features a more modest slit than the Alicia skirt, offering a touch of flirtation without going overboard. It’s perfect for dressing up or down. I have all SIZE 10s, and they fit like a dream.
The Marcie Mary Janes were my first heel purchase from Sezane, and I have some thoughts on sizing. Footwear can be tricky, especially when you can’t try them on in-store. I typically wear an 8.5 in shoes and a 9 in boots, so I opted for a size 9 thinking a little extra room was better than squished feet, but they ended up being a bit bigger than I expected. Now, I make a point to visit the Sezane store in East Village to try on shoes before buying. While these run a bit large, a toe filler could fix the issue, and I decided to keep them.
Outfit details: I paired these heels with the Tabata Skirt and Jared Top.
Quick note on the Jared Top: It’s stunning but slightly restrictive for movement due to the folded-over design. I got a MEDIUM, and it fits well.
TLDR: If you're between sizes, SIZE DOWN in the Marcie Mary Janes.
Once you’ve stocked up on all your neutral sandals, it’s time to add some color! These Judith Low sandals quickly became my favorite for a subtle pop of color. Be aware, though—they are VERY FLAT. I felt a bit awkward walking in them at first since I’m used to the support of Birkenstocks, but they are incredibly charming once you get used to them. I ordered a SIZE 9, and they fit perfectly. If you’re between sizes, you can either size up or stick to your usual size.
The iconic Sezane Clyde Trench is an absolute must-have. It’s known for selling out fast, and it’s easy to see why - it’s a classic, timeless piece that every wardrobe needs. Available in four different colors, there’s a Clyde Trench to suit everyone’s style. I opted for a size 8, because the description said it had a slightly oversized fit, and it is perfect for light layers!
This is probably my favorite item I’ve ever purchased from Sezane… maybe tied for first with my circle bag. If you’re torn on which color to get, I have a friend who got the ecru and said it feels more appropriate for spring vs both fall and spring. But you really can’t go wrong with any color Clyde Trench!
I’m completely obsessed with pistachio green! This mini version of the larger Farrow bucket bag is still spacious enough for all my essentials, plus a little extra. One of the things I love about Sezane is their ever-changing selection of fun colors, like this light green for spring and a darker, forest green for fall. Despite the seasonal tones, I plan to wear this year-round for a delightful pop of color.
Yes, I own more than one Sezane Will Jacket! This dark green khaki suede version is such a fun statement piece, perfect for anyone who loves a 70s-inspired style like I do. I enjoy pairing it with bold retro colors or even classic denim. It’s unlined and very lightweight, making it ideal for layering. I chose a size LARGE, and it still works well for layering.
Gifted to me by my husband, this suede saddle bag instantly became a cherished item. Its design reminds me of vintage Coach and Dooney & Bourke bags, blending classic style with a touch of nostalgia. The suede material adds a perfect autumnal vibe, making it an ideal choice for fall outings. The saddle bag's timeless silhouette ensures it remains a staple in my wardrobe season after season.
You absolutely need the Sezane Conrad Tee in your wardrobe. Sezane is currently celebrating 10 years of this classic tee, and at just $40, it’s a steal—especially with free personalization! I own four of them, two with my name embroidered (like the one pictured) and two without. I honestly wish I had more personalized versions.
This will definitely be a feature in my 2024 Holiday Gift Guide, as it makes a thoughtful and affordable gift. I wear a MEDIUM, and it fits just right—a bit boxy, a bit relaxed, but still flattering to a woman’s shape. If you prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up.
I was initially torn between the Sezane Michele Jacket and the Corduroy Will Jacket, but when it comes to shopping, I aim to fill gaps in my wardrobe. I realized I needed a blazer-style jacket, making the Michele Jacket the perfect choice. The product description advises, 'if you are between two sizes, choose the size below,' which would have led me to a size 8. However, I opted for a size 10 to allow extra room for layering, and I’m so glad I did—it fits exactly as I hoped! The rich, rusty brown corduroy velvet is a luxurious fabric, and I can already envision pairing it with dresses, denim, or even a mini skirt with tights and boots. This jacket is sure to be a versatile staple in my wardrobe.
If you’ve read my Sezane Marcie Mary Jane review, you’ll know I initially ordered a size 9, which ended up being slightly larger than I preferred. To avoid future sizing issues, I made it a priority to visit the East Village Sezane store to try on as many pumps as possible and find my ideal size, especially since Sezane shoes often come in full sizes rather than halves.
The Melanie Mary Janes have a similar shape to the Marcie but feature only an ankle strap. In-store, I found that a size 8 fit better due to the reduced support, giving me a snugger fit, which I preferred.
For the Paula Babies, a slingback style with two front straps, I opted for the size 9, but I felt the slingback strap didn’t offer as much security as I like in a heel.
The Elodie Mary Janes ended up being the perfect blend of the Melanie and Paula styles. With the additional straps, I decided on the size 9 (and crossed my fingers because I hate exchanging shoes). I’m happy to report they fit like a glove! These pumps might be the closest I get to owning a pair of Carel Paris Mary Janes, and I’m totally okay with that.
The Sezane Lou Lou Trousers are a must-have for anyone struggling with pant shopping, especially if you have a pear-shaped body like mine. Finding pants that fit both my waist and hips is usually a challenge, but these were a pleasant surprise! The waistband offers plenty of room for tummies while the fabric drapes perfectly down the legs, just as it would on a thinner model. I often struggle with baggy pants feeling tight on my thighs, but these trousers avoid that issue entirely. I also love the warm-toned plaid print, which is perfect for fall fashion. I opted for a size 10 / 42, and the fit is spot-on!
Sezane used to be my go-to for dresses, but recently, they’ve leaned more into body-con knit styles, which, while cute, aren’t always my preferred look. So, when I spotted the 100% cotton corduroy Celenia dress, I knew I had to give it a try. I opted for a size 8, though I sometimes size up (to a 10) in fitted dresses, and I’m happy to report that it fits like a glove! The length is what I love most about it—while I usually favor a good maxi dress, they can feel a bit overwhelming on my petite frame. The Celenia dress hits mid-calf, making it perfect for showcasing tall boots or pairing with ankle boots to show a little skin. It comes with its own belt and belt loops that actually stay in place (a huge plus since flimsy belts are a pet peeve of mine). I can also see myself swapping out the belt occasionally for one of my own. Overall, I highly recommend this dress, and I’d love to see more fabrics in this vintage-inspired style!
Pants are usually my worst nightmare. As someone with a pear shape and a short torso, finding the right fit is a challenge. Luckily, we’re in the era of pleated trousers, and more brands are offering styles that actually make me excited to wear pants again. Sezane trousers have always been tricky for me—they tend to favor the tall, slim, Parisian woman aesthetic. My husband got me the Theophile Trousers for my birthday in September, and while I loved the fit (I went with a size 10), the light color wasn’t as practical for fall and winter. So, I exchanged them for the Aldo trousers in a gorgeous warm-toned plaid, and I’m so glad I did! They fit perfectly—well, after shortening them a few inches (which makes sense since they cater to taller women too). These trousers can easily be dressed up or down and will no doubt become a winter wardrobe staple for me. Again, I went with a size 10 AKA a French 42.
The Masha Skirt was supposed to be my holiday party statement piece, but then we all caught colds that kept us home. I know I’ll find a special occasion for this skirt soon, especially because it can be paired with a sweater and flats for an evening at the theater, or spiced up with something bold (like the model) for a more extravagant event. I love a tulle skirt, they’re timeless, and so is this burgundy color!
As always, I got my usual size 10 in this and it fits great.
The Clarine Skirt is a Sezane staple. I finally added one of my collection when they released a brown wool style for F/W 24. I got my usual size 10, which fits perfectly, and the fabric makes it great for dressing up or down in the chillier months. I especially love it paired with the Elodie Mary Janes and Felix Jumper, or like I’m wearing in the video still - a cream silk blouse and boots, which gives a very World War II fashion aesthetic.
Sorry for the awkward screen-grab from an OOTD, I never seem to get good photos when I’m wearing this!
I picked up Sezane’s Abel Bag because I’d been on the lookout for a roomy purse for more upscale occasions. I love the two tone black (a suede and a leather croc) and gold chain strap detail, and it holds a surprising amount of stuff (a small film camera, snacks, a charger with room for more!) while still feeling petite and classy. I can’t wait for all the fun places I’ll go with this beautiful bag.
I got a size US 8 / Fr 40 in this top, and its just right - happy to see so much size consistency in the brand. (The only weird fits are the pants which I feel is common in general.) I’m actually still deciding if I want to keep this one (as of March 6th 2025). I can’t decide if it’s giving me peplum PTSD from my hipster years or if its the perfect addition to my closet. Basically, it’s a BEAUTIFUL top, it reminds me of something I’d see from Ulla Johnson. Quality, fit, design, etc wise, it’s a hard yes for me, so if that’s what you’re looking for - get it. But if you’re used to crew necks and prairie dresses…
I tend to purchase cotton knitwear because of my sensitive skin. This Titouan Cardigan is a FAVORITE and as of March 31 2025, it hasn’t come back in stock in a while, which is devastating because I would buy it in every color. The cotton knit is just as good feeling as my cotton Babaa. As usual, the medium fit perfectly, you can size up or down depending on how you intend to wear it.
The Léontine Jumper is a wardrobe staple, an entry level Sezane purchase, and a piece I continually grab. As a cotton knit lover, I couldn’t ask for a better cozy sweater that works great to layer in colder seasons, but also as something to throw on with shorts or a skirt on a cool summer night. I went with a medium, as usual, and I suggest you size up or down depending on fit!
