What to know about Sezane
Sézane is a Paris-based womenswear label founded in 2013 by Morgane Sézalory, who remains CEO and creative director. It sells direct-to-consumer online and through "l'Appartement" showroom-style stores in Paris, New York, London and other cities. The range centers on Parisian-coded staples: knitwear, printed blouses, denim, ballet flats, leather bags and boots, released in limited monthly drops. It also runs the Octobre Éditions menswear line and the Demain solidarity program. Minority investors include General Atlantic (2018) and the Bettencourt-Meyers family's Téthys Invest (2022); founder control is unchanged.
How Sezane fits
Overall fit
runs small
Sézane uses French sizing and is widely reported to run about a size small, particularly in shoulders, bust and sleeves, so many customers order one size up in tops and jackets while bottoms are closer to true to size.
Tip: Most shoppers do best sizing up one from their usual size in tops, blouses, knits and outerwear, and staying true to size (or sizing down for stretch denim) in bottoms.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | relaxed sweatshirt cut, often slightly boxy | Take your usual size, or size up if you prefer extra length over the hips. |
| Jackets | runs small | structured and close through shoulders and sleeves, with limited layering room | Size up one for layering over knitwear, particularly in leather and tailored blazer styles. |
| Jeans & denim | mixed | high-rise straight, slim and wide-leg cuts with mostly rigid or low-stretch denim | Rigid denim tends to run small so consider sizing up, while stretch styles relax with wear and can be taken true to size or down. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | fitted through bust and upper arm, with narrow armholes even on styles described as loose | Size up at least one, especially if you are broader through the chest, shoulders or biceps. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | neat and body-skimming, though some seasonal styles are deliberately boxy or cropped | Size up if you want a relaxed drape or longer body; stay true to size for the intended close fit. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | varies from high-waisted straight to wide-leg and relaxed tailoring | Order your usual size but expect to hem unless you are tall. |
