Sézane Strive-On: Costume Me Like A French Lady

Nicely, I used to be seduced once more. I went on the Sézane web site, noticed that completely all the things on there would nearly undoubtedly make me seem 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 all the things on. Did I seem 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 wonderful although they’re, should not have the kind 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 precise fashions and doing the hair and make-up in simply the precise manner. These women they use may make a binbag look come-hither.

Although how they’ve managed to make their “Brut Horny” denims look good within the images 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 area to your hips? No can do. However hear: we’ve taken the area that you simply wanted in that département and allotted it to the thigh space. And sure, we all know they’re a bit quick within the leg however don’t fear – we’ve added that cloth proper to the highest in an effort 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 very least – the truth of making an attempt them on is so, so removed from the fantasy I purchase into after I browse the positioning. As a result of sure, the outsized shirt is beautiful 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 totally 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 totally?

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 images of fashions with completely undone Sam McKnight hair trying effortlessly cool and youthful and un petit peu kittenish. At the same time as I kind this submit I’ve one other tab open: for his or her new season assortment that has simply dropped at present. (Discover it here*.) And there are at the very least 5 gadgets in my basket already that I do know will immediately remodel me into the kind of lady who by no means wears thermal leggings, has an inherited condo within the seventh arrondissement and doesn’t need to unzip her denims after lunch.

I simply know they’ll.

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

I attempted:

Slim Parfait Denims in Mild Blue, Dimension 12 – £95 here* – contemplating preserving, let me know what you assume!

Max Shirt, Very Mild Denim, Dimension 8. £95 here* – contemplating preserving as soon as I’ve discovered at the very least 3 ways to put on it, not together with “in any other case bare” or “with lace knickers” as a result of they don’t rely as outfits and I’d like all shirtmakers to know this.
