If you don’t know about Sezane you should probably skip this post, because I think the cool French clothing company is out to steal my whole wallet. They’re unsuccessful, though, because $120 for a shirt is noooooope not happening on a graduate student budget.
….but that doesn’t mean I can’t look.
Looking at expensive clothes is actually a hobby of mine. It could be purely painful, but I actually like looking at the inspiration and then keeping a phone note of items I want to find on sale or thrift. In the spirit of that, here are some Sezane pieces I have been coveting, along with cheaper “dupes” of those items. Now updated for 2025!
White lace shirts: Sezane is all about the lace shirts. Theirs are beautiful and intricate–but many other stores like Gap also offer some nice lace, ruffle, and eyelet options.
Sezane makes lovely cardigans like the Betty cardigan, but fortunately, cardigans are having a moment right now. Search for words like “mohair” (how they get their fuzzy vibes), cardigans with buttons that match the fabric color, and details like “puff sleeve.” Loft seems a little, um, inspired by the Betty cardigan with this one. Quine also has a shirt jacket option.
PS: I love all the Sezane sweaters that often have tiny lace details. I have not been able to find any dupes. But then I saw someone on Instagram who had made a total lookalike using a lace cami and a v-neck sweater in the same color!
Sezane loves trouser pants, and so do I, so I keep abandoning them in shopping carts. This pair is definitely the same cut and comes in tall and petite sizes. This checkered pair is also nice and light and gives French vibes.
Finally, a Sezane lookalike list wouldn’t be complete without some lovely floral patterns, like this dress. This was the most elusive thing to find a “dupe” of. This dress definitely captures the vibe.
If you like the Pippa tie-waist dress from Sezane, Aritzia has you covered right now.
Here are a few more cute Sezane-esque looks I found on my internet travels this week:
Are there other expensive brands you want to see copied for less? Let me know!
