I look forward to your videos every week. I'm a mom of two, full-time job, military spouse - but when I get some free time on the weekend I find your videos so relaxing, informative, and inspiring. Thank you!
Same here, except I'm a busy, sleep-deprived med student, but these videos inspire me to take better care of myself and treat myself to have a nice style :)
I have the navy silk Chloe and I wash in a net bag in the machine on a 30 wash and short spin and it is perfect each time. I wear it casually and love it but have also worn it for more formal occasions but dont work in an office .. it is the most worn of all my sezane, i love it!
I feel Sezane can be quite hit or miss. They still use a ton of synthetic fabrics, sometimes even more than &other stories ( way much more actually, I own several &other stories knitwear 100% wool or alpaca and wool blend), arket makes beautiful garments for way less too with much better fabric quality. Loved the burgundy jacket 🤩
I have to agree. Sezane has beautiful pieces, but I feel like it's a bit overpriced for the quality. I love & Other Stories; their stuff is nice quality and pretty reasonably priced (especially if you buy on sale).
Hi Rebecca, I agree they can be hit or miss. I think I personally gravitate towards them for the style of clothes they do - which although dupable, is very much aligned to what I like :) I do agree that quality wise, Arket is lovely. Thank you so much for watching :) x
@@DailyHelenJ 100% see the beautiful Photography artwork which Sezane does so well. They do not ressonate that much with my style so I am not an easy target :) the basic and minimal styles they do I can find elsewhere with better quality and price. Excited to every vid, always 🤍
I'm now intrigued as to why the navy blue silk shirt is almost only suitable for office wear. Maybe do a video trying to style some pieces in a more casual way? Or maybe transforming outfits for the office in something else just by changing a few things? (I'm not sure if you've done either of these before) Anyway, these are just a couple of ideas! Love your style and your videos!
Love this video. Have never bought from Sezane but always tempted to because of you :) I think it's not a stretch to say you make the best Sezane reviews on YT 👍👍 clear explanation and great videos!
I fell in love with their knitwear first but I find myself avoiding all the wool blend knits because of the itchiness. Once you get used to a cashmere feel, mohair just does not feel good
Beautiful collection! Would you consider doing a video on Sezane dupes from less expensive brands? I love all of Sezane's clothing, but it's a little expensive for my budget.
Hi Lauren, I would be happy to share but I think the best bet would be a mix of Mango and & Other Stories. I often see very similar pieces from these two brands. With some of the simple knits, even Uniqlo collaborations sometimes can be a dupe (e.g. a stripe knit I've seen from the Ines De La Fressange x Uniqlo line). Depending on where you're based, The Real Real imo is just the best - lots of brands on there that can easily dupe Sezane too - esp in their sale section which is when I find the best pieces.
I own a number of similar items in my wardrobe (leontine, alicia, gaspard, chloe etc) and would rank them the same! Have definitely started to think about my lifestyle a lot more when purchasing items. Enjoyed this video 🤗
Thank you Helen! Can you tell us more about the sweater brush you use? On that note I would actually love to hear about how you care for your garments in general. When buying clothing/accessories at a higher price point (Sezane or other) I'm really keen to keep them in tip-top shape.
Thank you for watching :) The brush came with a sweater from The Curated, but you can find it at places like The Laundress or other stores by searching 'cashmere comb' :) I think in terms of care, I don't do anything too special. The thing about sweaters is that I try not to wash them too often, usually try to layer something underneath and do more spot cleaning. I let things air out a lot and also like cedar products to freshen sweaters between wears.
Ohh loved seeing your ranking and rationale! I found Sézane through you and have started building the collection from last year, my most recent purchase is the Jim coat on archive … patiently waiting for a cold winter. 🙈
I love this video. I'm looking at updating my wardrobe and I was looking at Sezane (I actually got the Alicia skirt on your recommendation!). I'm not super familiar with Sezane so this video was so helpful!! It's hard to gauge quality or fit from the website or even how I would style certain items.
I have many of the same pieces as you and I am also really fond of them - the Tomboy, the black floral Alicia, the James, Leontine, Chloe check, Tim and Willa jackets as well as that chunky black with white textured detail knit. They are all so versatile and fun, and I love how you style them and you have really given me new ideas (the Leontine with the Alicia for example or the Tonio cardigan tucked in with trousers or jeans). I personally also love my Edgar jumper (multicoloured and really fun) and the sparkly Donnie jumper which I wear casually and it gives every outfit a bit of glam without going overboard. Totally agree about the Frankie trousers. I bought a pair in khaki and the fit was so unflattering I sent them back. And I know what you mean by itchy wool. I bought the Polly knit dress in camel which I ADORE. It is so flattering, but it is a bit scratchy but I am willing to suffer!
I think I will :) I usually like to hold on for a little bit just to make sure as sometimes I can change my mind but many of these I will be listing shortly. Thank you for watching 🥰
I’ve been watching you for a while now and watched all your Sezane haul and reviews. They are very helpful, thanks! Surprising fact, every time you did Sezane haul I could tell which items fit and look good on you, I sometimes disagreed with you regarding some items you really liked and kept. I said surprising, because all those least worn items were the ones I didn’t like on you and thought soon you’ll do this kind of review :D
I am a fairly new customer of Sézane and I found your video very helpful in deciding what to get for summer in Texas. I almost bought the Will jacket 😬 but after hearing you say it was a jacket more appropriate for autumn
Thank you :) I think the Will/Willa jackets are lighter jackets good for slightly warmer/transitional weather. The red Aaron one is thicker which is more suited for cooler weather :) (esp in Aus where it doesn't get very cold).
@@DailyHelenJ Thank you for your follow up comment. I will look into Will jacket ( light blue) I will be traveling this summer to Brazil in August and I think it will be perfect.
You have such an amazing style I feel I should be taking notes 😁 I noticed that everytime you show an outfit with that denim vest I just crave it. I'm going to look for a similar one.
Love this video! It was very informative and also calming to listen to. I own several sezane jumpers and sofar I really love them. Tried your least fave trouser too & I didn't like it either, because it had such a strange shape
Oh I do like so many of their styles, but often the blended fabrics put me off. Beautiful collection and helpful practical considerations, thanks Helen.
You’re videos are such a pleasure to watch. They’re the perfect length but packed with style inspiration and so well presented and full of little details that make them so informative and easy to follow like the little bar at the bottom of the screen with the heart showing how often you wear the item. Thank you for all this lovely content ❤️
Been waiting for this review! I've found Sezane to be the only brand that fits my petite frame in tops. I never have to get the arm length adjusted because their tops hit me right where they should.
Hi Rosie, so good to hear. Now that you mention it, I do think that their tops come at very reasonable lengths which is great for us petite ladies. Their pants on the other hand, are always soo long haha - not sure how that works.
Love this video! Do you know what color/pattern your Dorian shorts are (are they navy, black)? The photos on their site looks like it uses a heavy filter so I’m trying to find it “in the wild.” The pattern and coloring of yours is gorgeous!
It’s so useful to hear why you find some pieces more wearable than others. Can I ask if you tailored the hem on the Alicia skirt? I’ve only worn shorter skirt lengths in the past since most midi skirts tend to look like a maxi one on me.
Thanks, I find it helpful to think about clothes in terms of most to least worn, it’s a good way to assess your style. I got Sezane pieces a few years ago, but was a little disappointed in the quality for the cost. Have you heard of the Sessun brand? They have a similar feminine feel but a bit more creative and more sustainable.
I have purchased a blouse from Sessun in the past :) I like them but because it's hard to order/return I'm often a bit hesitant. They look great tho! Thank you so much for watching x
Thank you for this! I'm thinking of making my first purchase from sezane but i've been hesitant because of the higher price point...would you say that a cotton knit for spring would be a good first purchase? Also, is there a way to get a discount code?
Hi Anna, I think a cotton knit in a shape you wear often would be a good first purchase :) I haven't seen them do a discount code but the archive sales might be a good way to try their pieces for less (I think they come around twice a year but there's some things left from the last sale on the site).
Does the leontine jumper soften over time? I just received it in the mail today and to my surprise it felt a bit scratchy. I was expecting a softer feeling knit
I recently made my very first Sézane purchase and got the Léontine knit in marine/ecru (the reverse of the one you have). Haven't worn it much yet but hoping that it'll become a very worn piece. Also thinking of trying out the Willa jacket (since I'm only 150 cm xD) and Alicia skirt sometime in the future :3
Hi Cindy, I still have the black and I wear it very casually these days :) I think I've become a bit too lazy to wear a strapless with the cami's so I tend to wear them casually now almost as loungewear rather than out and about. Thanks for watching :) x
Even a small amount of synthetic fibers irritates my skin and makes me overheat. I like the cellulosic, manmade fibers like viscose, rayon and lyocell, but adding the synthetic fibers ruins them for me.
I always love these “most-least worn” videos - such a fun way to start the week! Out of curiosity (because I remember your response to issues raised with Dôen over the past 18 months), what are your thoughts on the recent Diet Prada SÉZANE scandal? I haven’t purchased from them since, as there was no apology, and no public statement that meets my criteria for taking public accountability, or a sincere commitment to change going forward… It makes me really sad, as I love SÉZANE’s aesthetic, but making profits off the exploitation of indigenous communities, and claiming they are not doing so because “humanity is one”, despite SÉZANE’s creator benefiting from her immense privilege, left a really bad taste in my mouth. I only ask as I thought you might have additional insights into progress SÉZANE is making behind the scenes (fingers crossed this is the case 🤞🏻). If you were to make a video on the topic of ethics in brands from whom you buy most frequently, I’d be super interested to see it!
Thank you!! :) I was honestly quite disappointed by the whole thing but I was glad to see an acknowledgement and apology. It doesn’t of course undo the damage but I hope they act better in the future as they say they’ll do. As to Doen, I think the apology was so terrible they might as well have left it out . I think even though Sézane was called out (as they should be), everyday I see a lot of cultural appropriation eg jackets called kimonos, patterns described as gypsy print or Asian style that I think they are part of a larger issue in the fashion space in general. I don’t have a solution but I think by calling it out each time they can hopefully all do better. I’ve been told they have already started taking actions and will follow along to see.
Hi Quyuh :) I love Tibi but they are definitely quite premium and most of my pieces are found in sales/outlets so are no longer available. I'm just not sure how helpful it would be but maybe in a blog post/vlog one day x

@@12harrypotterfan34 sales can be an absolute steal. I own some beautiful knit/blouse knitwear which I purchased for €36-40
Hi Rebecca, I agree they can be hit or miss. I think I personally gravitate towards them for the style of clothes they do - which although dupable, is very much aligned to what I like :) I do agree that quality wise, Arket is lovely. Thank you so much for watching :) x

I fell in love with their knitwear first but I find myself avoiding all the wool blend knits because of the itchiness. Once you get used to a cashmere feel, mohair just does not feel good
Ecovera and xiscose are highly sustainable. I actually look for that when I buy! Also, I love the flowy movement of the quality!
