SEZANE TOP TEN PIECES: Reviewing the BEST Style Essentials from Sezane

[@Holaris-lc8pc]

hi! love your video's from Sézane! How do you wash your f.e. tge Betty cardigan?

[@Mchelleybelly]

I look forward to your videos every Sunday. Your style is very aligned with my own and your videos are really helpful or introduce me to styles/brands when I’m looking for something new. Sezane has been a fav of mine for several years now, thank you! ❤

[@mademoisellejaime]

Oh thank you so much, that's an enormous compliment :) Hehe and mine too. Funny as my first experience shopping from the brand was an absolute disaster. Glad I ended up persisting as it's gone on to be one of my personal favourites :)

[@momo_rvk]

Im still thinking about that Pippa dress. What's the fabric like? Is it it flowy like stretchy Jersey or is it cottony? The hem in the pictures looks pretty stiff so I'm wondering how it drapes. Thanks for the video, lovely as usual! 🌸

[@mademoisellejaime]

So sorry that this message is hugely delayed - we've been struck with a quite a few bugs of late! It's more of a stretch jersey, but that's primarily made of cotton. I find that there's a weight to the fabric, so it falls nicely, though will also hold its shape. Does that answer your question?

[@momo_rvk]

@@mademoisellejaime No worries at all! And yes, thank you :)

[@milainnewyork]

Love Sezane so much! My wardrobe has never been happier 🤣 Great selections, Jamie! Leontine and Betty are some favorites of mine!

[@mademoisellejaime]

HAHA! I have seen your Sezane collection Mila and it is NEXT level. Your sweaters!!!! xx

[@ShadowyLady82]

love your rec's and agree with most. The only one that most people love but doesn't work for me is Betty - I have large bust and narrow shoulder and that shape is generally a no-go. I think I wear my Chlo blouse and my Leontine (both in navy) more than anything else in my wardrobe. I'm a bit scared of trying their pants though as they seem mostly straight cut. Is there a pair you recommend for those with large hip to waist difference?

[@mademoisellejaime]

Ah yes I can appreciate that! I sometimes find the length a little on the shorter side for me (long torso here) so am generally quite mindful of how I style it). Those two pieces are GORGEOUS though, can see why you love them so much (two of my faves too). Styles you could look at: Austin, Loulou, Silvio, Syra, Lazare, Melchior, Tiziano, Jimmy and Tyler. Some of them are knitted so will have a fair amount of give x

[@lunaticeyes93]

The Chlo blouse and the Betty cardigan are my absolute favorite from Sezane as well! I just wish they would release more knits in 100% merino wool. There are sometimes pieces like the Lucas jumper that are 100% merino wool as well, but they are more suited for the winter season. The Betty however is a light weight merino knit and suits ever season!

[@mademoisellejaime]

They're both so good aren't they? And agreed! The James is another great example but it's a super thick wool and definitely not a year round piece. Fingers crossed off the back of the success of the Betty they do some similar styles - I'd love if they did a longer version!

[@lbeard7661]

@@mademoisellejaimethe only thing that’s delayed me on getting the Betty is the length. I’d love about 4 more inches.

[@xrubyxlightx]

How comfortable are the vicky loafers and paula babies? Can you commute in them/walk around europe? I really like the look of both

[@mademoisellejaime]

The Vicky loafers are SUPER comfortable! The Paula babies are pretty good but no wear near as comfortable.

[@thechicndamned]

I love the top 10 and all the sneaky honourable mentions 😜😜 adding the white pleated skirt to my wishlist ❤

[@mademoisellejaime]

Hahaha! I couldn't help myself! xx

[@kayemcmullen]

Hi JamieLee This is a wonderful selection - the knits really suit you.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks Kaye! xx

[@andieatacska6280]

Great choices for top 10😊 May I ask what are the waist and hip measurements of the Martin Cropped trousers please? Many thanks😘

[@mademoisellejaime]

Hi! So sorry that this is delayed - our whole household has been sick so been a bit of a week. Waist measures 35cm across and hip measures 48.5cm across

[@andieatacska6280]

@@mademoisellejaime Thank you very much! Sorry to hear you were all unwell😔 I hope you are all recovered and the kids full of beans again😅🤗❤️

[@alissaria5454]

Watched this video when you first posted and bought 10 pieces ever since (and I'm done). This is an awesome review for me, who's trying to transition out of COVID Lululemon only wardrobe.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Amazing! So glad this was helpful :D

[@AlannaLightheart]

THANKYOU for including the inseam measurements 😭I feel like it's such an important detail that so many brands leave out.

[@mademoisellejaime]

You're welcome! And agree - also that the inseam often can vary depending on the item size. I am always so thrilled when a brand shares detailed item measurements :)

[@marvinschuh]

What is mail forwarding? I'm an American living in The Netherlands and would love to purchase from the states.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Basically you get a US mail address, and then the staff at that warehouse will repackage multiple parcels into one for you to send to (almost) any address. The only downside is that it has gotten really costly. When I first started using the service it was fairly affordable (in my eyes) but now I'm usually looking at $180 AUD for 5-6 items which is a lot.

[@bbbb1023]

Could you please do a packing light summer 1 week trip video pretty please? Planning a trip but have no idea what to bring 😅

[@mademoisellejaime]

I've done a few spring/summer capsules in the past which are always a great reference, but I wonder, have you checked out my capsule wardrobe series on substack? They're all linked here: mademoisellejaime.substack.com/t/capsule-wardrobe There's spring/summer specific ones and you can zoom in on all the outfits :D

[@jkosust]

I'm new to tank tops, and inspired to have a go from your videos. Do you have advice on bras that don't show at the strap or around? Thank you!

[@mademoisellejaime]

So I usually would wear a strapless bra, or alternatively a racer back style bra (I have one from Boody which works well with these tanks). You can also get those convertible strap bras too where you can crossover the straps at the back :)

[@mayragomez5675]

What size in Pippa dress do you have? Thanks for advanced :)

[@mademoisellejaime]

I wear the size S in the Pippa x

[@raemana7193]

I've been eyeing that trench coat in that same color. What is your height again ? Im 5'3 im afraid it might be too long

[@mademoisellejaime]

I'm 172cm tall xx

[@margaretagonzalezlindh5862]

Thanks for a great video! I bought the Vicky loafer on your recommendation and they are brilliant! All the best from Sweden.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Oh I'm so glad to hear you love yours as much as I do mine! Truly the best - enjoy the week ahead

[@user-ip7vi1gf7s]

Hello. Nice video! Do you find the Vicky Loafer breathable for all day wear without socks?

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thank you! I think like all shoes that are leather your feet do get warm but this doesn't bother me? You can wear no show socks x

[@user-ip7vi1gf7s]

@@mademoisellejaime Thanks for responding. Have you encountered any odour issues when wearing them? Is there a specific no show sock you can recommend?

[@laurendempers1315]

I love these roundup videos! I also have the leontine and Betty- LOVE both and they are so useful. I also love the fit of their classic tshirt. It has a nice sleek fit in the shoulders while also being relaxed.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Ah yes the Conrad is nice - I do love their printed tees too, they're always so fun! Actually wearing my Betty right now :D

[@ana_paulav]

Great selection as always! My personal favourite is the Mederick Coat

[@mademoisellejaime]

This has long been on my wishlist - I love the soft blue they did for A/W and I think I saw it's on sale. But I can't justify another coat being in Sydney. Will have to admire from afar haha

[@gma2039]

I have that same trench and often wear it to work in spring and fall.

[@mademoisellejaime]

It's brilliant isn't it? Such a well made jacket! x

[@cupoftea5189]

Thanks for the great content. I am in Australia and saw your Quince recommendation from an older video and spent 2 hours late night to pick a lot of items - only to realize after it wasn’t shipping to Australia haha. I used to use parcel forwarding service some years ago but wasn’t too happy with it. Any you recommend?

[@mademoisellejaime]

Oh noooooo!!! Listen that actually happened to me the first time I discovered them and I was like screw it I'm just going to do mail forwarding LOL. I use Shipito - I can't say whether they are the most affordable however they are reliable. That said, depending on the option you choose it can take a while to arrive. If you go with the cheapest shipping option it's usually 2-3 weeks so if it's not that much more I'll usually spend the extra $30 to get it sooner. That said, I do balk at the current pricing as it's gotten so expensive. Last time I shipped out a box it cost me about $170 in shipping fees 🥲

[@cupoftea5189]

@@mademoisellejaime it’s good if you have a lot of American brands you love and can’t get in Australia but true that increasingly they are becoming expensive and more brands are now available here. While I have your attention here :) , may I ask if you think Scott trench is still better choice than Uniqlo: C trench (if quality is more important than price)? I’m about to go look at the Uniqlo one in person..

[@mademoisellejaime]

@@cupoftea5189 Yes 100% this and we have so many brilliant brands on our doorstep which once you add in shipping are reasonably similar in terms of price. Hmm, I think from a value perspective you'll get just as much out of the UNIQLO one while spending half the price. I actually didn't see that one when I went in store so couldn't tell you how the fabric is. It looks perhaps slightly thinner? The Sezane one is a bit more sturdy and thick, where as the UNIQLO:C one looks a bit more fluid. So, I guess my feedback would be is that a dealbreaker for you. UNIQLO stuff is pretty good quality across the board though would say that fabrics etc have gotten a little less robust than in previous years. HTH! x

[@laurencecolin3897]

The Rome shorts and Will jackets are my favorite pieces from Sezane!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I've always wanted to try the Rome shorts - do you wear them with the original belt or without? xx

[@laurencecolin3897]

@@mademoisellejaime they are the perfect dressy shorts! I wear them with the original belt in summer but I’ll switch it for an Artemis in the winter.

[@heatherburrell8412]

I love their style, but would not pay those prices nor for a new item. 2nd hand only .

[@moonchild650]

Where do you purchase 2nd hand items?

[@heatherburrell8412]

@@moonchild650 consignment shops, thrift stores ….. in nicer areas

[@mademoisellejaime]

Definitely lots of pieces floating around second hand so that's a great way to buy - hopefully this gives you some ideas on which ones to seek out (or at the very least, some sizing advice!) :) Thanks for watching xx

[@deborahjoyce591]

Great video as always. I bought the Scott trench on Poshmark New a few years ago but sadly I only wore it once a it just felt too structured ( think I like slouchier trench better). So decided to sell it. The Sezane Claude bag is on my wishlist. Hoping to find it second hand someday.I did buy the Leontine second hand but found it was uncomfortable cotton as I am very sensitive. So sold that too sadly. That lovely ivory cotton you mentioned. Is that the same cotton as the Leontine or is it softer? I wish there shoes came in half sizes as I tried two sizes of Jack sneakers and neither fit. Very informative video

[@moonchild650]

@@deborahjoyce591 Bree Jumper is made of a softer cotton and it is absolutely gorgeous! I wear it more than any other Sezane jumper.

[@whitneyhutchison]

Great video Jamie! Love these recommendations and I’m keeping my eyes peeled to see if those Martin trousers get restocked 👀🤍

[@mademoisellejaime]

Fingers crossed! I would check on Wednesdays and Sundays as that's when they tend to do restocks. I just took a peek and looks like they must have had some come back in for the gingham (a larger size - 14 - still left this morning). Hope you get lucky :)
