I’m sharing another capsule wardrobe blog post starting here with the Sezane Fall Capsule Wardrobe, using 12 pieces to create 48 outfits! You may already have many of these key pieces from last year, but if you don’t this capsule wardrobe guide will help you figure out what you need.
I love Sezane because it’s a sustainable brand and certified B Corp. The brand offers great style options for day and night and a generally neutral color palette with some pops of bright colors. And if you love how French women dress, Sezane clothing is a great place to start when collecting items for your capsule wardrobe. Plus, if Fall is your favorite season (like me, it’s Libra season too after all!), Sezane also has an extensive sweater collection! As a customer for over seven years, it’s truly one of my favorite French brands.
What brand is best for a capsule wardrobe? Sezane is one of my favorite brands. I’ve been a customer for over six years now, and I can honestly tell you their item’s last. The quality and the craftsmanship always blow me away for the moderate price point. So if you’re looking for wardrobe staples with a luxe feel without the price tag, this is a great brand.
A capsule wardrobe does not have to be all from the same brand. But shopping from the same brand is a great way to curate your personal style and select items that fit you best. So pick a brand that aligns with you, if you have a classic style and like casual looks Sezane is a great brand for you. The main focus should be to have at least twelve items you can mix and match so you can create endless outfits or in our case, 48 outfits.
If you add one item to your capsule wardrobe this season it has to be the trench coat. It’s a capsule wardrobe basic that you’ll use again and again. And it will transition you into the Spring next year perfectly.
Now, let’s get you the Sezane Fall Capsule wardrobe of your dreams.
Sezane Fall Capsule Wardrobe – 12 Pieces 48 Outfits
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12
1. Bree Jumper
This organic cotton sweater is the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. It’s one of those versatile pieces that can be paired with trousers for an elevated look or a pair of jeans for a more casual look.
2. Lauren Jumper
You’ll love having this grey knit in your closet when sweater weather rolls around. When it comes to cozy sweaters, the high neck and yak wool will keep you warm on those crisp fall nights. I purchased this to wear with my grey jeans for a cool monochrome look.
3. Gaspard Cardigan
Arguably one of the most iconic sézane essentials, the Gaspard cardigan is easy to wear and perfect for that relaxed french girl style. From a simple look with black jeans and white sneakers or over a dress, it’s one of the easiest ways to elevate your closet. I also own the Betty cardigan which I find myself grabbing for a more polished look and the Basile cardigan for more casual looks. I find the Gaspard is the perfect in-between and grab for it the most!
4. Clyde Trench Coat
When I wear my vintage men’s Burberry trenchcoat I always get asked for a similar option. I think I’ve finally found it in this trench. It’s a relaxed fit, a bit oversized and one of those essential items for fall. The plaid lining gives it that chic Parisian style and the water-repellent material can’t be beat. If you want something a bit more tailored I think the Scott trench coat is also a great option.
5. Wide Leg Trousers
If you love a long, high-waisted jean these are hands down my favorite. I’m just under 5’5″ and can give them a nice cuff at the bottom. I take my usual size and love pairing these with a striped top layered with a sweater!
6. Le Crop Jeans
The ecru color makes these jeans great for different occasions. Pair with lace blouse for an evening look or white sneakers and a basic tee for every day. I find myself grabbing for these all year, but how chic is an all-cream look in the fall? I love it! If you need a trousers option instead, I love the Martin trouser!
7. Carlo Jacket
Sezane just dropped this style in a camel color and it has me rethinking the khaki. A vest is a go-to in the fall season because it keeps me the perfect temperature and is a bit more elevated than a denim jacket.
8. Max Shirt
The Max shirt is one of those classic pieces you’ll grab for in any season. Parisian women love to pair a white blouse with jeans and ballet flats and make it the most effortless look. I love throwing a leather jacket over it in the Fall for a more edgy look. If you like a more tailored white button down the Tomboy shirt is also a great choice!
9. Amy Loafers
Fall is the perfect time for a fresh pair of loafers and Sezane has so many great options. The Amy loafers are a bit more of a statement with the tassels, but I also own and love the Vicky loafers that are a bit more feminine.
1o. Lena Low Boots
I’m just not a knee-high boots girl, I always gravitate towards an ankle boot! I love the chunky sole on these, but the suede makes it a great shoe option for daytime to date nights! If you want something more versatile these also come in glossy black and flat black leather.
11. Gabin Bag
Rounding out this autumn capsule wardrobe we have handbags. I own the gabin bag in suede and can attest its the greatest schlep everything bag, while still looking chic of course. I love the outer pocket and utilize it for my keys or phone.
12. Claude Bag
This bag is definitely an investment piece but a crossbody bag can also be very versatile. The pistachio croc makes this easy to pair with a little black dress when you want to be more dressed up and alternately can dress up a sweater and denim look.
12 Pieces 48 Outfits – Your Sezane Capsule Wardrobe Outfit Ideas
If you’re in the early stages of building your Fall capsule wardrobe you don’t need to go out and purchase all twelve items. Making what I like to call a capsule wardrobe checklist on your phone is a great starting point. Including items that you’re reaching for and don’t have and that need an update. You can even use my suggestions to create a list to review against what you have in your closet. Going with neutral colors is another great way to ensure your new items will work with what you already own.
Sezane’s sizing. Sezane’s clothing tends to be more tailored so consider this when selecting your size. I get a size 6 for a more fitted look and a size 8 for a more relaxed look. In the knits, especially for layered fall outfits, I go for a size m so my arms have room. And now that I’m pregnant I’ve even purchased some tops in a 10. I’m normally a size 25/26 in jeans and I wear a size 6/8 in their bottoms. The Clyde trenchcoat is the perfect fit for me in a size 6 (normal size), where I would normally go a size up on a jacket/coat.
