Sézane Attempt-On: Gown Me Like A French Woman

Nicely, I used to be seduced once more. I went on the Sézane web site, noticed that completely every thing on there would virtually positively make me appear like a twenty year-old Parisian sex-kitten from the seventies after which ordered a load of stuff.

It arrived, I unwrapped my haul from its très fairly paper after which instantly tried every thing on. Did I appear like a twenty year-old Parisian sex-kitten from the seventies?

Mais non.

In all probability one thing to do with the truth that I’m not twenty and so my boobs, completely fantastic although they’re, should not have the type of lush, rounded fulsomeness that may make a bog-standard cotton henley t-shirt look essentially the most alluring garment ever created.

Sézane are merely masters of styling and French-cool clothes presentation to the purpose of near-sorcery. They appear to be on the very pinnacle of branding success, with their aptitude for selecting simply the fitting fashions and doing the hair and make-up in simply the fitting approach. These women they use may make a binbag look come-hither.

Although how they’ve managed to make their “Brut Attractive” denims look good within the photographs is past me – in actual life they’ve the weirdest form that appears fully at odds with each single a part of the human anatomy.

(You want house on your hips? No can do. However pay attention: we’ve taken the house that you simply wanted in that département and allotted it to the thigh space. And sure, we all know they’re a bit brief within the leg however don’t fear – we’ve added that material proper to the highest to be able to really feel much more uncomfortably encased in stiff, unyielding denim.)

I jest. Sézane make really very lovely things. It’s simply that – for me at the least – the fact of making an attempt them on is so, so removed from the fantasy I purchase into once I browse the positioning. As a result of sure, the outsized shirt is attractive however am I actually going to put on it unbuttoned to the navel (from each high and backside) with no bra beneath? Je thinks not. Sure the cardigans are one way or the other essentially the most seductive-looking cardigans on earth however am I going to pop to Sainsbury’s with my cardi hanging fully off one shoulder? Or worn again to entrance? Will I have the ability to weigh my bananas on the unfastened gadgets scales with out dropping my knitwear fully?

Anyway, hats off to Sézane as a result of they’ve completely obtained me. I’m by no means not going to be lured in by photographs of fashions with completely undone Sam McKnight hair wanting effortlessly cool and youthful and un petit peu kittenish. Whilst I kind this publish I’ve one other tab open: for his or her new season assortment that has simply dropped as we speak. (Discover it here*.) And there are at the least 5 gadgets in my basket already that I do know will immediately remodel me into the type of woman who by no means wears thermal leggings, has an inherited condo within the seventh arrondissement and doesn’t should unzip her denims after lunch.

I simply know they’ll.

Right here’s a little video of what I attempted on on this specific Sézane order – keep tuned for the inevitable subsequent instalment as I’m nothing if not a glutton for punishment… Should you’re studying this by way of electronic mail subscription then the video will likely be on the finish of the publish.

I attempted:

Slim Parfait Denims in Gentle Blue, Measurement 12 – £95 here* – contemplating preserving, let me know what you suppose!
