After a summer filled with overly sweaty commutes to the office and balmy evenings out with friends, the temperature is finally starting to drop here in the UK. And to me, this can only mean one thing: autumn is officially on its way! I’m not afraid to say that as a lover of all things autumn, I’m already in cold-weather mode, so the hunt for the chicest capsule wardrobe staples has officially begun. And it should come as no surprise that I’ve spent the last month looking at what the most elegant French girls are wearing for inspiration. I mean, they do autumnal dressing undeniably well, and I’m not just talking the cliché basics (sorry Breton tees and berets!), rather the real, everyday pieces that make them look polished and put-together without fail. And what brand better encompasses this than Sézane?

Known for their easy but elegant pieces that make getting dressed in the mornings a whole lot easier, Sézane is well-known amongst the French fashion set as the go-to brand for versatile and expensive-looking staples that can be relied upon season after season. From the Clyde coat that’s loved by celebrities such as Sienna Miller to the Gaspard cardigan owned by almost every fashion editor I know, the brand just has a knack for creating timeless cult buys that will never go out of style.

So with the new season fast approaching, I decided to narrow my attention down to the nine new-in Sézane buys that will act as the basis for my autumn 2026 capsule, all of which come French-girl-approved. Keep scrolling to see and shop my edit below.
