I’ve always been obsessed with French fashion and European style—elegant, effortless, and just a little bit undone.
As much as I love browsing Sézane’s latest collections, I also love discovering new brands that channel a similar vibe. I’m especially drawn to brands that prioritize tailoring, use high-quality fabrics, and have that “timeless elegance” we all look for in a chic wardrobe.
Splitting my time between New York and Europe for work, I’ve built up a list of my favorite French & European-inspired brands that are similar to Sézane. This has allowed me to curate a beautiful selection of classic pieces that are affordable as well.
Of course, what feels “affordable” may depend on your budget and how much you like to spend on clothes in general. I’ve included a mix of brands in this post, with most pieces coming in at under $250, and others with items that are more of an investment.
So just keep that in mind as you’re browsing!
Whether you’re looking to expand your closet beyond Sézane, or simply want more options in the European-inspired space, I’ve rounded up 24 beautiful brands like Sézane worth adding to your style rotation.
24 Brands Like Sézane to Shop Now
Soeur
Kicking off our list of brands like Sézane, we have Soeur.
Soeur is known for its understated elegance. The brand does relaxed, slightly oversized tailoring really well. Think asymmetric blouses, dresses, and pullovers or cardigans that look and feel like they belong in a chic Parisian’s closet. And let’s not forget about their iconic eyewear collection— I am obsessed to say the least.
The color palettes are soft and neutral, and the fabrics always feel beautiful on the skin. I picked up the Uzel pullover and the Delia dress last year, and they’ve both become go-to pieces in my wardrobe. If you love a mix of oversized and feminine styling, Soeur is a must-shop!!
Balzac Paris
Balzac Paris is another brand like Sézane that really grew on me the more I explored it. It started as a small, sustainable Parisian label and now offers a full ready-to-wear collection that is just so classic.
Their knits are beautiful and cozy, and I love that they put sustainability at the heart of what they do. Every item has detailed notes on its environmental impact, which is such great info to have about the pieces you’re buying!
I recently added one of their classic striped shirts to my wardrobe, and it has quickly become a staple. This one is also gorgeous. I am also obsessed with these cognac sandals with gold buckles, these will be my immediate next purchase.
Dôen
Dôen has quickly become one of my favorite go-to brands when I want something a bit more romantic and vintage-inspired than Sézane. Their designs often feature puff sleeves, delicate prints, and soft, high-quality fabrics that feel both nostalgic and fresh.
I own the Roselie Tunic from this brand, and it is one of my favorite pieces in my closet…albeit one of the most expensive pieces as well. But the quality is unmatched and I absolutely love how it flows and holds up wash after wash. It feels like a true investment piece, yet still fits into my everyday wardrobe. If you’re all about romantic silhouettes with a modern twist, Dôen is your brand.
Rouje Paris
Founded by French It-girl Jeanne Damas, Rouje is one of those brands that perfectly captures the modern-day Parisian vibe.
I love how the pieces feel vintage-inspired but still wearable today. Some of my favorite items from this brand are their silky wrap dresses and button-down skirts. But I’m also obsessed with their accessories!! Their handbags, shoes, and belts are everything. You can find my review of this gorgeous brand here.
& Other Stories
Another brand like Sézane that I love is & Other Stories. This is one of my go-to brands for those affordable, instantly wearable pieces that still feel designer. Over the years, I have accumulated so many pieces from this brand, with their jumpers and shorts being some of my favorite.
Their collections always feel fresh and on-trend, which makes browsing their site a weekly habit of mine. & Other Stories is similar to Sézane in that they carry a range of clothing items, but also sprinkle in classic accessories like bucket hats, bags, and jewelry that complete all of their looks. They also both have the same laid-back, everyday chic look.
Lilysilk
If you haven’t tried real silk pieces yet, Lilysilk is a great place to start. Their brand does range on the pricier side, but you have to keep in mind that these are investment wardrobe pieces that will last you forever.
I have the chic minimal silk camisole in chocolate, and it’s so soft it feels like you’re wearing air. I pair it with a fitted blazer and summer sandals, it’s the perfect look. Plus you cannot beat this price for real silk! I also adore the minimalist sleeveless turtleneck top. I consider both of these pieces a closet staple, as it’s an elevated basic that instantly makes me feel like I’m wearing luxury.
Christy Dawn
Similar to brands like Sézane, Christy Dawn’s commitment to sustainability was the first that drew me about this brand, but inevitably it was their dreamy silhouettes and prints that kept me around. This is such a romantic, feminine brand, perfectly reminiscent of strolling the streets of Italy with a gelato in hand.
Their vintage-inspired Dawn dress line is so darling and come in so many beautiful prints. The dresses are romantic and flowy without being shapeless. I have the dawn in the beautiful blueberry dot color, and the amount of compliments I receive every time I wear it is insane. I live in my dawn dress all summer long, and I can’t wait to add another print to my wardrobe. When I want a dress that feels special and eco-minded, this is the one.
M.M. LaFleur
When I need a polished look that packs well for travel or long days, M.M.LaFleur is my go-to. A little more professional to Sézane, their pieces are designed with working women in mind. Think sleek silhouettes, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, and tailored cuts.
Their Lauleh dress is a miracle piece, and I love that it’s equal parts elegant, wrinkle-resistant, and flattering on all body types. I will usually pack this dress with me on business trips and always feel confident wearing it. You can explore more of their collection here.
J.McLaughlin
A recent favorite of mine, J.McLaughlin is the perfect brand if you’re looking for well-made, classy piece that are just a tad bit preppy.
Their Alder Maxi dress in bangle stripe is one of my favorite pieces, perfect for the spring, summer, or fall depending on how you layer and style it! I’ve had mine for years and it still looks as good as new. I’m also a huge fan of their shoe collection and sweater knits. I have the Alba Grasscloth heels and they might just be my favorite shoes of all time.
If you love Sézane for its effortless polish but want something a bit more East Coast classic, J.McLaughlin is worth a look. It’s the kind of brand that makes every piece feel like they were made to be styled in a dozen different ways.
La Ligne
La Ligne is the brand for stripes lovers. They have everything from classic Breton tees to striped knit dresses and luxe loungewear.
I may have a small obsession with their Lou sweater. The striped look is so subtle and I love the open knit mesh stitchwork in this sweater, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Some of my other favorites include the Ashby skirt in a beautiful navy stripe, and the gorgeous Rue de Verneuil Mini Marina sweater. These are the kind of pieces that make you feel instantly chic.
Jenni Kayne
Known for its clean California aesthetic, Jenni Kayne is beloved for luxurious basics in elevated neutrals, so think: soft cashmere, structured knits, and timeless silhouettes.
I was first drawn in by the Cropped Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan, which is quite expensive, but truly lives up to the hype. It’s cozy, oversized, and super friendly as a layering piece. Over time, I’ve added a few of their knits, sandals, and even a candle or two to my collection (the Hamptons scent is my favorite!). I can confidently say everything from this brand is made to last.
If you love Sézane’s romantic side but want something more minimal and coastal, Jenni Kayne is the perfect balance of comfort, quality, and timeless style.
Rosaé Paris
Rosaé Paris is a beautiful, feminine and refined brand that feels quietly luxurious. It’s effortless, feminine, and unmistakably French. Founded by Parisian, Claire Teixeira, the brand was born out of her desire to create a timeless, everyday wardrobe made from beautiful, natural fabrics.
Most of their pieces are crafted from organic cotton, linen, or merino wool, and the quality is instantly noticeable. I’m absolutely obsessed with the shape and style of their pieces, I haven’t seen anything quite like it before with other brands. Every piece is so uniquely structured, making every Rosaé Paris item a showstopper.
I have the Le Jamyn top, and immediately feel like I’m in a Parisian gallery every time I wear it. It’s just beautiful. Some other favorites of mine include the Le Jourdan long chic coat in navy. This is truly a WOW piece. If you love Sézane but want something a little more refined and subtle, Rosaé is a perfect fit.
Tuckernuck
I now own so many pieces from Tuckernuck, it’s honestly hard to keep track! What started as a one-off order for a striped dress a few summers ago has slowly turned into a full-blown obsession. Tnuck has become my go-to for classic-leaning, preppy dresses that have a timeless, east-coast charm.
The Chambray Callahan Shirt Dress will forever be a favorite of mine. It’s the one I reach for on busy mornings when I still want to look pulled together, or for weekend brunches when I don’t feel like overthinking my outfit. I also adore their two-piece sets… they’re so classic, flattering, and feel like something you’d wear on a sunny weekend in the Hamptons.
Garmentory
Rather than a brand, Garmentory is a treasure trove of independent boutiques from around the globe. I’ve discovered so many small labels through their curated collections—one current favorite is the L’agence Idy Button Tank dress, which looks and feels runway-worthy. I also love these cropped high-rise jeans from Veronica Beard!
Garmentory is where I go when I want something truly unique and a little outside the mainstream. I love that they’re like an online department store of my favorite French brands!
Mint Velvet
Mint Velvet is one of the chicest brands I have ever seen. If you haven’t heard of this brand, you need to RUN not walk.
Everything about this brand is my favorite. From their tops and dresses to their shoes, accessories and co-ords, Mint Velvet nails that perfect blend of relaxed and refined. Their pieces just have this ‘effortless elegance’ to them. Think flowy blouses with embroidery or beautiful patterns, structured denim pieces including tops, skirts, and dresses, and accessories you can wear that transition beautifully from day to night.
It’s a great option if you love pieces that are subtle but still stand out from the regular “plain white top” vibe, Mint Velvet is a brand I turn to when I want to feel comfortable and put-together at the same time.
Farm Rio
If you’re a fan of Sézane dresses, there’s a chance Farm Rio may become your next favorite brand.
Farm Rio embodies bold florals and bright colors, with prints that instantly lift your mood. This Brazilian brand is full of tropical prints and playful designs that truly feel like a vacation in your closet. I have a few of their pieces and every time I wear them I feel like I’m on an island…plus the compliments!! I always get asked who I’m wearing—it really stands out in the best way.
Massimo Dutti
Understated luxury at accessible prices—that’s Massimo Dutti. I have been shopping this brand for years, and they truly deliver when it comes to the quality of their pieces.
I particularly love their tops, which I’d describe as upscale business casual. You can dress up their tops for a work event, or style them more casually with jeans or flats for a dinner or a night-out-in-the-city look. Massimo Dutti has a very similar vibe to Zara (I believe they have the same parent company), but the quality is considerably better they are positioned more as a “premium” brand.
They also tend to use higher quality fabrics like linens and wools, which is what I’m prioritizing in my wardrobe right now.
Gaâla Paris
Gaâla Paris is one of my new favorite obsessions. If you’re looking for a boutique that is all about classy and timeless pieces, this will be your go-to brand.
They specialize in beautiful and high-end fabrics like silk, tweed, linen, wool & cashmere, and are known for their elegance and classy pieces. Although a bit on the pricier side, Gaâla uses upcycled fabrics and even incorporate premium fabrics from renowned fashion houses, so you get what you pay for.
I love their quiet luxury collection, and sometimes they run really good sales so make sure to look out for those! One of my favorite pieces from this brand is the Benedicte Cotton Trench Coat. It is STUNNING. I’m also obsessed with the Toile de Jouy dress and have been eyeing it for ages.
Mila Vert
Mila Vert nails the art of everyday chic. Their pieces are made in soft linens and cottons, all thoughtfully and sustainably produced in Europe.
I’d been searching for a a knit that wasn’t boxy and had some chic elements & shape to it. The belted tunic top was exactly what I was looking for… trés chic and perfect as an elevated basic. It’s easy to dress up with tailored pants or jeans, or keep casual with a knit pant. It’s quickly become one of my most-reached-for pieces in the fall and winter.
If you’re looking to stock up on high-quality, chic and minimalistic pieces, Mila Vert is your brand.
Sessùn
Sessùn popped up on my radar not too long ago, but has quickly become my new favorite brand. Although a bit pricier than Sézane, their pieces, specifically dresses, are absolutely gorgeous.
I discovered the brand years ago in a tiny boutique in the Marais and have been hooked ever since. They are another sustainable brand, which I also love about them. Their pieces lean classic and chic, but there’s always a subtle detail or twist that makes them feel fresh, whether it’s an unexpected print, beautiful buttons, or perfectly placed seams. This red striped dress with an asymmetric strap is to die for!!
Musier Paris
Musier Paris has that cool, minimalist French-girl aesthetic down perfectly. I find that their pieces always have thoughtful details like a twist in the fabric, an unexpected neckline, or an asymmetric hem, all of which makes this brand feel special.
I tend to reach for their minimalistic knits when I want to look polished but not overdressed. I’m a big fan of their printed & velvet pants as well! The brand is great for those pieces you’ll keep reaching for season after season, and I find the quality to be excellent for the price point.
If you’re looking for a brand that is très chic and French-girl effortless, Musier Paris is the one.
Alex Mill
Alex Mill is another one I recently came across, and if you’re into the whole London-esque esque vibe of modest sweaters and cardigans, you’ll love this brand.
They specialize in cashmere, wool’s, and cotton fabrics, and focus on everyday staples that build a high quality capsule wardrobe. While I don’t yet own any pieces from this brand, I’m particularly drawn to their Nottinghill sweater. If I were in the market for a high quality wool jumper, this would be the one I’d invest in. I’m a big fan of Merino wool, and love the crew neck style of this piece, very chic.
Lazzari
Wow. We truly need to take a moment for Lazzari because what a gorgeous, chic clothing brand.
I heard about this brand through word-of-mouth, and after visiting their site (and placing a HUGE order, mind you), I now wonder why they don’t have more recognition. Although, I reckon it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing them everywhere.
Made and crafted in Italy, Lazzari has this sort of undone yet structured look about all of their pieces, with slightly oversized silhouettes and boxy cuts, mixed in with details like marinière collars, cotton broderie anglaise, puff sleeves, lace blends, and many more beautiful attributes.
Some of the pieces that immediately caught my eye were the Sailor cotton top, the oversized contrasting trench coat, the cotton balloon trousers, and these stunning round toe Mary Janes. (did I just write out my entire order? perhaps).
Berthie Paris
Berthie Paris has some beautiful pieces that feel undeniably feminine and elegant.
They do beautiful blouses and dresses with embroidery, pintucks, and subtle hand-finished details. I really love their Nina Chemise, which is delicate but has that undeniable sense of quality. I can’t speak too much to this brand as they do not ship to the US, and it seems they are only European-based as for now.
However, if you’re based in the EU, I definitely recommend checking them out! They are quite fairly priced in my opinion, as well.
Final Thoughts
There’s no shortage of beautiful brands out there if you love the effortlessly chic, French or European-inspired style that Sézane does so well.
