Sézane’s Spring arrivals dropped this morning with so much eye candy, including a few sold out favorites of mine that I’m thrilled to see come back! The exquisite Nele blouse and Justine bag are two of my top pieces from the brand that really stand out in my wardrobe, so don’t miss this restock if you had either on your list. They pair beautifully with my luxe quality Gloria flat sandals that were also restocked. UPDATE: per comments below, there unfortunately seems to be inconsistency with the fit on this year’s Nele blouse : /
I find that Sézane sizing runs TTS to a tad smaller than US brands, and I can fit their US 0 /xxs, sometimes US 2 in tops. They offer free shipping on $200+ to the US, and free easy returns.
Justine basket bag
This one is reminiscent of the popular Loewe tote, and after comparing both last year, I felt the Sézane offers more functionality for a fraction of the price. It has shorter top handles for hand-carrying as well as longer shoulder straps (unlike Loewe, each set of handles on the Sézane actually swivel down when not in use), plus a genius built-in drawstring liner bag to keep your belongings secure. The size is spacious yet petite-friendly, and has held up well after frequent wear last year. You can see several photos of the Justine on me, and it also comes in a mini or bigger size.
Nele Cotton blouse
This is one of the most stunning blouses in my closet that happens to be rather petite friendly. It instantly elevates a pair of jeans or linen shorts, and looks like a high end piece. I cannot recommend this one enough! UPDATE: Please read comments below on how it might fit inconsistently now : /
The fabric is 100% cotton with intricate eyelet, embroidery + lace detailing and pearlized buttons. Size 2 on me is a looser, boxier-style fit with wide cut sleeves that are effortlessly breezy. The length on mine is 20,” shorter than most Sezane blouses so I can even wear it untucked. The sleeves on my also measure 20″ and are designed to be 3/4 length and hit my shorter arms perfectly – very rare! This is unlined so I usually wear it just with a skin-toned bra or cami under, and hand wash cold then hang dry.
Amance Cardigan
This is a darling cardigan with subtle details…from the slightly gathered shoulders and gently ballooning sleeves to the tiny pearlized buttons. Fit wise, this one is a looser cut on me with longer sleeves, so I usually wear it with the banded wrist folded inward to make it more petite-friendly. I do not usually go for mohair blends since the material can be itchy, but this mohair/merino wool combo is softer than I expected. Notably more comfortable IMO than their popular Gaspard cardigan, and a little softer than the Angelie, if you’re familiar with those.
It’s cute & cozy worn open, and I really like the blousy look when tucked in, too:
I wanted to pull in this pic of the Scott trench coat from a previous try-on (read the post). I was trying a size US 2 here which was too big, and a 0 is now back in stock! This is a thicker, sturdy weight trench in a structured cotton fabric. The sleeves would need to be shortened for me.
