I wish Sezane had reviews to read before ordering. I would love to know how items fit and what the fabrics feel like, before buying. Returns are easy enough, but still, I’d rather not be bothered with them.
Your last videos are really important! I also like Sézane as a brand and own 4 garments from them, but I wonder about all the influencers who release a Sézane video twice a month or more: Who can wear all that? And doesn't that contribute to uncontrolled clothing production and environmental pollution? I appreciate that you now want to take a slower approach: that you still like Sézane, but show and discuss what you already own more often instead of always ordering new things. Big like!
I think it's so easy as a creator to get carried away, and I've definitely fallen victim to that. You see the other creators around you growing more quickly than you by constantly showing new things, and you feel like the only way to keep up with them is to do the same. I'm coming to realise it's a hamster wheel that unless I make an active choice to step off of, will just keep me running and running in circles. Hopefully the new content coming to the channel from now on will be more inspiring than just constant new clothes! :)
@@katie_louise That's totally understandable. Thank you for your honesty! Maybe you'll find your very own, special content that makes you stand out from other influencers/creators. Personally, I find it indeed more inspiring! Thank you!
Looking forward to the next one already - these kinds of reflections and introspections are always interesting to me, and inspire me to reflect on my clothing habits too - ‘Cost per wear’ is also useful to see how much value our clothes bring. Great video as always x
Hi Katie, I really appreciate your honesty and love watching your videos. I understand as a creator you felt the need to order lots of items to show your viewers what the clothes look like on. But actually I enjoy just as much you talking through the collection and what you think are good pieces. I try and only buy the pieces I know I’m going to love and wear all the time. Also since you mentioned you shop on vinted I’ve found some great items which I’m really happy with. So thank you so much for that.
Sezane is an interesting brand to say the least. To be entirely honest I also returned a lot of items last year from Sezane for various reasons. I think Sezane does try to create this idea of scarcity which encourages impulse buying buy having frequent collections. I think what works best for me is when I purchase their classic pieces because they are good quality, well made and can be styled in so many ways. Furthermore they last really well. I bought my tomboy shirt in 2021 and it's still in perfect condition despite the fact it's one of my most worn items. Furthermore, I think they excel in knitwear and sometimes outerwear because they have a lot of natural fabrics. The betty and the gaspard are two classics that fit perfectly with any wardrobe. However sometimes some of their items are just... eh kind of hard to style and they end up forgotten in your wardrobe. I barely wear the Victoire jumper which is gorgeous but it's itchy and it is oversized and bulky. Looking forward to this new direction in your channel. We need to be mindful of what we buy and purchase items which will fit in our wardrobe.
17:18 lol weather is really gloomy in Germany too, but flowers and Brazil are in my heart and head. Summer is a state of mind for me, maybe because I’m Italian. Too bad, every piece looked stunning on you tbh :D
I love this video! It’s the type of content I didn’t know that I need. I also want to be more mindful with my Sézane purchases and think of what I really love. I’ve kept many pieces that didn’t fit quite right (too big, too small, too itchy) and I don’t really reach for them. Looking forward to the autumn video!
So glad it was helpful, I wasn't sure if people would like this video so happy to hear you enjoyed it :) I think we are all guilty of it - I hate that feeling of regret looking at a piece in my wardrobe that in hindsight I know I shouldn't have bought. Hopefully we can all reflect more on our purchases and minimise our regretful ones :)
@@katie_louise Yes! We can only reflect and learn. I want a closet with pieces I’ll actually reach for. Your 2024 videos so far are good reminders. Excited for more content to come 🙂
So important to remember. I remember hearing someone say that your personal style isn't what's on your Pinterest board, or what's hanging in your wardrobe unworn, it's what you are ACTUALLY wearing - whether that's sweats, activewear or suits! I try and think about that a lot.
True, and then every once in a while there's something that runs quite small like the Charly and the Mona. Meanwhile, I love my Chlo too! I have the navy and come spring I think I will add the cotton guipere lace version. I did hear that the lace version runs a bit bigger than the silk version - have you ever noticed any sizing differences between your Chlos based on colour or fabric?
@@sparklie962Sparklie - I had the Chlo in Chambrey and it was slightly bulkier than the silk. I’m not necessarily sure it was cut larger but the fabric doesn’t fall to the body as closely so it looked larger - possibly same for the lace one? Just worth a thought. I ended up selling the Chambrey blue one 😅 it was a bit too ‘puffy’ for my liking.
@@katie_louise I wish Sezane would publish actual garment dimensions. I've been starting to see Uniqlo and Boden do this. Would surely reduce some of their returns volume, no?
I used to think I was the only one, but I'm relieved to know it's not just me. I've purchased quite a few Sezane items that I initially fell in love with, but then I find myself growing tired of them. It's unusual for me because with other brands, I only buy what I truly adore and either wear them regularly or am content seeing them in my wardrobe, even if I don't wear them as frequently. Sezane clothes tend to lose their appeal quickly in my wardrobe. I think it might be because of the hype surrounding them. However, it's only a select few that truly capture the proper Sezane style. Sezane isn't solely about the Parisian girl aesthetic; it's more of a vintage, 70's look, which looks dated after a while.
So interesting, thank you for sharing this! I think for me it might be because there are so many new releases, and once I've bought something and worn it once, there's already a new item that people are obsessing over and trying to get their hands on, before it sells out. So I don't get to enjoy the item I literally just bought.
I thing the nice pictures on the side are the reason for me. In real life the things look different. But I really like the amount of colors, which are suitable for summer type. And the classics I bought, I do wear them regularly.
I agree 100%, they have for some god forsaken reason started to embrace a 70s hippy look which is so un parisian which is more clean and classic. Theyve some how managed to convince sheeple that this style is 'french girl' when its really not. I like some of their classic peices (chlo blouse, gaspard etc) but I can not fathom why people buy these clashing 70s inspired hippy colour soup collection.
@@micheleurciuoli3507I think it really depends. The Vic and Dorotha dresses come in really beautiful floral patterns, are made of silk (some are viscose, but I'd stay away from Sezane viscose...), and have such simple cuts, that they basically work with everything when dressed down. I live in those during summer. And then some jumpers (Mia/Leon) come in wearable colours that fit your other Sezane clothing and almost every kind of jeans. I feel the skirts and blouses are too crazy sometimes and can't be mixed well. But just staying with the very basic basics would be kinda sad. 😅
Great video, can’t wait for the next part! I haven’t bought anything from Sezane yet because it seems so hit and miss. Very tempted by the Betty cardigan but worried it will be too short as I’m 5’8” but thin.
It's definitely hit and miss sometimes, hopefully my videos can help although I appreciate we're different sizes. If you're tall and thin the Betty may be too cropped on you (depends what you like) although the good news is a lot of Sézane's clothing should work for you as I feel most of their clothes are made for that body type haha :)
I am 5'8 as well and Betty is too short to be tucked in and is super boxy. It hits me right in the waist, which means you can see whatever you wear underneath when lifting the arms. And it is meant to be worn with something underneath (winter item). I sized down to S, just so the boxy cut wouldn't swallow me. But then the shoulder seams were just okay and I couldn't button it up without pulling. I sold it after a few months of not being able to make it work. Super unfortunate, because it looks so chic on women with more shapely upper bodies. 😅 You also would never guess this from the pictures alone. Which in turn leads to quite excessive ordering+returning. At least I now know that anything "mini/short" is not worth the effort for my size. ;)
I’ll probably sell the knit dress and the Sezane sweaters that I got that are in those blends with mohair or alpaca and nylon, they are incredibly irritating to my skin and eyes (the fibers drift in). I always wear long-sleeved silk jersey tees or turtlenecks underneath, too, but they still itch and scratch like mad. I have no problem with their merino wool, in 100% like my Betty Cardigans, or blended with organic cotton. Most of these items I got recently, in spring colors, so I’ll try to wear them a few times first. They were so pretty and in my Summer-Type coloring palette, hard to find, that I couldn’t resist. But I learned, really reinforced, my lesson, never compromise on fabric composition. I know what will happen - I’ll wear them, then take them off in an hour because I can’t stand them. It’s not very practical, I don’t even take outfit photos, so what’s the point?
Sea NY collar was my absolute favourite and I’ve kept the Roxanne dress in that lovely lilac print - it will be worn for many years to come . But yes Pangaia collection was a deep fail in my eyes...the aesthetic wasn’t right for me. I’m glad that it didn’t as my wallet is thanking me again 😂 ps. I think that black floral skirt looks lovely on you 😊
Yes it's so personal, it's great when the collabs match our personal style, I just need to remember that it's okay to skip them if they don't! Thank you so much :)
Agree about their collabs, I ordered a bunch of things from the sea NY collection because they looked cute online, but I only ended up keeping the skirt. I liked a specific pattern from the farm rio collab (the white one with red florals) so I kept a few pieces in that pattern. The Pangea collab I only bought one thing, the colorblock sweater, which is on its way (though I saw some comments saying it’s itchy so not holding out too much hope 😂) new sub btw! Love your breakdown of sezane pieces. Do you mind sharing how tall you are?
Thank you so much for your sincere opinions. Your videoas help me so much. I identify myself a lot on you because I have a similar bodyshape and a lot of influencer are so skinny women. Some Sezane pieces I love most, remember me on the british victorian style (for example the Chlo blouse or the Rym) more than on a french style and I think they look very good on you too! Would love to find a brand which makes pieces in a "modern-victorian-style"☺️ byebye
I bought 3 pieces, although I’d like to buy more! Returns aren’t free for us and then with customs fees, it gets a bit risky! Videos like yours help me to make more informed choices.
This is quite interesting… on your previous video I said that Sezane is releasing so much it all looks the same at this point. When I see your summary of the collections they released as collabs, I have the same feeling that they choose brands with very similar vibes. I do like boho style and it suits me but I cannot find anything appealing in those releases. As always, thank you!
As much as I enjoy the try ons and your reviews, I was wondering how you feel about returning so many items from a climate / moral point of view. How can we be sure that the items ,unlike with other popular brands, go back into stock and not in the trash? There have been dozens of documentaries proving such things. Additionally the entire shipping process is wasteful as well. Maybe there is another, more conscious way of consuming and making interesting videos? I really like it when you had the disclaimers in your earlier videos about not buying everything you see :)
Yes, I agree it's problematic! I have spoken to Sézane about returns in the past and they assured me the items do not get thrown out. I think at the price point of Sézane that is less likely than very cheap, fast fashion brands but I totally agree about even the shipping process being wasteful. I've been thinking about ways I can combat this for a while. I think firstly it's about creating less haul/review videos, which I already plan on doing. But I also appreciate that if, say, 10,000 people watch my video and from that maybe even 1% of those people learn something and therefore reduce their return rate, that easily cancels out the 1 return that I placed, if that makes any sense at all! So if I can make the videos genuinely informative, and help people buy less but buy better, the good may outweigh the bad. Thirdly, I was also looking in to those 'carbon offset' companies, where essentially you donate money to 'offset' the carbon emissions of your actions. Lots of people do it for flights, but I was thinking I could do it on the occasions I do place larger orders, for the purpose of review. I should also bring back the disclaimer, you are totally right! I'll do that when I do next make a review video. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it! xx
Thank you so much for your thorough and honest thoughts on this. Very interesting to now! I mean, Sezane is a B Corp, so that's something. I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos :) I always enjoy the lookbooks, since I have similar style, they are a great inspiration.
Oh no :( I haven’t experienced mine losing shape luckily, so I’m not sure about that. They will definitely pill, get a debobbler and that’ll sort that out no problem ☺️
The waistbands in their knitted skirts run very small, I need to size up quite a bit from my regular (with a fitted waistband) Sezane skirt size. I have a very different shape from yours, with no hip curves at all and skinny thighs, so only their knitted trousers work for me. The structured ones make stupid-looking empty flaps of fabric sticking out where a more average-shape woman’s curves would fill them out properly. This isn’t unique to Sezane, though, I can rarely find a proper fit in any trousers or jeans, even in men’s, which are smaller there. At age 63, I’ve been trying for at least 50 years to find any trousers that work, but mostly I wear skirts or dresses. They are a lot more comfortable anyway. Sezane’s knit trousers do work ok, but they are ridiculously long on 5’4” me, average height for American women. I had them hemmed, but even the experienced professional tailor I employ couldn’t make the hems invisible, it’s really difficult with knits. I wish they offered short lengths.
Hi Katie, like your old videos, where you wear your fringe out of your face. It drives me nuts when I see your fringe in your eyes. Not complimenting your face. Tschau Petra

did you end up making part two? I cannot sem to find it on your channel which is a shame - I was really looking forward to the fall-winter stuff :)
Good point about clothes matching your lifestyle. I love the lace blouses and Chlo shirts but they don't fit my active lifestyle.

The structured ones make stupid-looking empty flaps of fabric sticking out where a more average-shape woman’s curves would fill them out properly. This isn’t unique to Sezane, though, I can rarely find a proper fit in any trousers or jeans, even in men’s, which are smaller there. At age 63, I’ve been trying for at least 50 years to find any trousers that work, but mostly I wear skirts or dresses. They are a lot more comfortable anyway. Sezane’s knit trousers do work ok, but they are ridiculously long on 5’4” me, average height for American women. I had them hemmed, but even the experienced professional tailor I employ couldn’t make the hems invisible, it’s really difficult with knits. I wish they offered short lengths.
Where can I buy your striped cardigan?
It’s from Mint Velvet ☺️
Thank you!
May I ask what you are wearing?
Of course! My cardigan is from Mint Velvet but it's old, I don't think it's available anymore :(
this is making me want to shop at sesame and my wallet is on the floor kicking and screaming-- begging me for mercy
130 ist quite a lot 😂 Why don‘t you send the clothes back? Do you resell them in poshmark?
I do send them back 😊 as I said, I kept about 30 items!
Stella(?) dress is super gorgeous! Wear it! Or give it to me 😀
hahaha thank you! I need to wear it more for sure!
11:08 I think this collab was the only ugly collab they did. Nothing, literally nothing, appealed to me. 😂
Omg that blue lady dress with the open back is so so gorgeous but I need to wear a bra otherwise I would have bought it in a second.
It is stunning!
You look like Emily in paris
What a compliment! Haha thank you 🥰
When clothes wear you, not you clothes it is always noticed.
Hi Katie, like your old videos, where you wear your fringe out of your face. It drives me nuts when I see your fringe in your eyes. Not complimenting your face. Tschau Petra
Haha, I part it in the middle once it gets too long, probably at that stage now though you're right ;)
