✨ Amazon Finds with Sézane Vibes

These aren’t fast-fashion throwaways. I’ve combed through countless pieces to find those that actually feel like Sézane—pieces with drape, structure, and that subtle charm you’d expect from a Parisian sidewalk stroll.

Here are a few I genuinely wear on repeat:

1. The Breton Striped Sweater
This top looks quintessentially French and comes in a variety of colors. I personally own two of these and they pair beautifully with jeans for that effortless French girl look.

2. The Knit Midi Dress
I recently became obsessed with trying to find a look-a-like for the Harper dress, and it took several weeks but I found one. This dress is hard to come by, as I'm writing this it says that there aren't any currently available. But have faith! Just keep checking back because they do restock. I did become lucky enough to thrift the actual Harper dress and can attest that this Amazon version is a very good dupe.

3. Breezy Eyelet Top
Eye catching without being over the top, this blouse is great for a casual afternoon with the kids or you can dress it up with a midi skirt and be ready for a dinner out.

🌿 Where I Thrift My Real Sézane Pieces

I’ll be the first to admit: I love owning the real thing when I can. There’s a joy in slipping on a piece that was made to last—especially when it doesn’t come with a splurge-worthy price tag. My Mom taught me from a young age, you never pay retail.

Here’s how I do it:

• ThredUp: I check the site weekly (okay, daily) using the brand filter and search bar. Sézane pieces sell quickly, so move fast to add anything to your cart that you want. You have three hours to decide if you really want it. And be sure to check the condition of the piece too. ThredUp will tell you if it's in excellent condition or has any defects. Scan the image closely too if it does say it has defects. I will say ThredUp's return policy is very fair so don't worry if you don't love it, send it back.

• The RealReal: Though better known for luxury designers, they’ve been adding more contemporary French labels—and I’ve scored so many Sézane pieces here, like that Harper dress. I've gotten other dresses on here for under $60 and in good shape too!

Where I don't:

• eBay + Poshmark: Nothing against eBay or Poshmark, but I've never had great luck on either of these websites. There are tons of fake Sézane pieces for sale on eBay and tons of accounts on Poshmark that are fake too. If you've had luck on either of these then keep on thrifting! But for me, I stick to ThredUp and RealReal.

🪡 Why I Shop This Way

For me, dressing well isn’t about excess—it’s about choosing pieces that feel good, look effortless, and hold their value over time. It’s about creating a wardrobe that feels like home—easy to move in, rooted in your own sense of beauty, and kind to both your wallet and the planet.

I still love the idea of investing in a new Sézane piece from time to time (every time a new collection comes out I add tons of pieces to my cart never to check out), but I also love the quiet thrill of finding something beautiful secondhand—or discovering a look-alike that surprises me with its quality. Because no one is going to notice if it's thrifted or a dupe (if it's a good one) and you'll get the pleasure of feeling like a fashion queen.

Whether it’s a thrifted gem or a carefully chosen dupe, I believe every woman deserves to feel elegant, comfortable, and confident in what she wears.
