If you've ever found yourself in a virtual queue for a Sézane "rendez-vous," you understand the magic. Sézane cracked the code, bundling that effortless Parisian je ne sais quoi—the perfectly slubby knit, the vintage-floral silk blouse, the just-right ankle boot—and making it accessible. It’s a complete, compelling universe of feminine, vintage-inspired style.
But here’s the challenge: your entire wardrobe is starting to look the same. Or, as much as you love your Gaspard cardigan, you're craving a different silhouette, a sharper price point, or simply options.
This isn't just another list of "French brands"; this is a definitive guide to the 15 brands that truly share Sézane's DNA. We'll break down why they work, what they do best, their price point, and exactly where to shop them.
Founded by French "It Girl" Jeanne Damas, Rouje is Sézane’s flirty, more playful sister. Where Sézane is polished and pretty, Rouje is a bit more undone, sensual, and '70s-inspired. It's the messy fringe and red lipstick of the group, known for its perfect-fit floral wrap dresses and vintage-cut jeans. You can expect blouses around $150-$200 and dresses from $200-$300.

If Sézane is the "girl next door," Maje is her cool, rock-and-roll older sister. Part of the SMCP group, Maje takes the Parisian baseline and adds a tougher, more urban edge. Think classic tweed cardigans with statement buttons or floral dresses paired with leather moto jackets. It's a step up in price and attitude, with blouses from $250-$350 and dresses from $400-$600.

The sister brand to Maje, Sandro skews slightly more classic and androgynous. It shares the same elevated price point but focuses more on sharp, tailored separates, with blouses from $220-$320 and dresses from $350-$550. If you love Sézane's trousers and blazers but want a cleaner, more business-appropriate cut, Sandro is your destination. Their silk shirts and knit mini-dresses are standouts.

Founded by friends Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief, ba&sh leans into the '70s, bohemian side of Paris. It’s more "rive gauche" (Left Bank) than Sézane, with a love for floaty paisley prints, suede, and intricate embroidery. It’s the brand you wear for a weekend in Ibiza or channeling your inner French musician, with blouses in the $200-$300 range and dresses from $350-$500.

This is the "L.A. cool-girl" answer to Sézane. Reformation shares the sustainable mission and B Corp status, but swaps the soft Parisian romance for a sexier, edgier, and more trend-driven silhouette. The necklines are lower, the slits are higher, and the attitude is more confident, with blouses from $130-$180 and dresses from $220-$300. We compare them directly in our brands like Reformation guide.

Doen swaps the Parisian apartment for a sun-drenched Californian canyon. The vibe is pure '70s nostalgia, with a heavy emphasis on "prairie" silhouettes, delicate floral hand-block prints, and soft, washed cottons. It feels more artisanal and less commercial than Sézane, with blouses from $180-$250 and dresses from $300-$500. It's for the romantic at heart.

This is your Sézane vacation wardrobe. Designed in Australia and handmade in Bali, Faithfull The Brand captures the spirit of travel. It’s all about lightweight linen sets, smocked sundresses, and hand-printed florals perfect for a warm-weather getaway. It shares Sézane's B Corp status, with blouses around $150 and dresses from $200-$350.

For the minimalist who finds Sézane a touch too fussy, Posse is the answer. This Australian "slow fashion" label makes timeless, vintage-inspired pieces with a sharp, architectural edge. Where Sézane uses a floral mohair, Posse uses a structured, heavyweight linen, with tops from $180-$250 and dresses from $300-$450. It’s less "pretty" and more "poised."

Another Parisian influencer-led brand (founded by Anne-Laure Mais), Musier is like Rouje's younger, trendier cousin. It hits the same price point as Sézane but leans heavily into current '90s and Y2K trends. Think fitted cardigans with hook-and-eye closures, slinky slip dresses, and pearl details, with tops from $100-$150 and dresses from $200-$280.

This Australian brand has exploded for a reason: it delivers the sharp, sophisticated, linen-based tailoring that Sézane fans love, but with a more modern and minimalist twist. If you love Sézane's trousers and vests, DISSH offers a full-blown uniform of them in stone, black, and white, all at an accessible price, with tops from $80-$130 and dresses from $150-$200.

Less a single brand, more a universe of them, Aritzia is the Canadian one-stop-shop for high-quality staples. Its in-house brands like Wilfred and Babaton hit the exact same customer as Sézane. You'll find beautiful silk blouses (around $90-$140) and perfectly tailored trousers (like the cult-favorite "Effortless" pant for $150) at a comparable, often slightly lower, price point. See our full brands like Aritzia guide for more.

If your love for Sézane starts and ends with the knitwear, La Ligne is your new obsession. Founded by former Vogue editors, this brand is dedicated to the humble stripe and the perfect knit. Their "Marin" sweater is as iconic as Sézane's Gaspard, and the quality is exceptional, with knits running $195-$450. It’s a higher price point, but the focus is on true investment pieces.

As the most direct high-street comparison, & Other Stories (owned by H&M) is designed around three ateliers: Paris, Stockholm, and Los Angeles. The Paris atelier, in particular, often feels like Sézane's more accessible sibling. You'll find similar romantic blouses ($80-$120) and knit cardigans ($90-$150) at a price point that's generally 30-40% lower.

If you love Sézane's quality essentials but want them with zero romance, you go to Everlane. Everlane competes directly on the "hero" items: the Alpaca cardigans (around $150), the "Clean Silk" blouses (around $120), and the leather boots. The aesthetic is minimalist and modern, not vintage and feminine, but it serves the same wardrobe-building purpose.

A surprising but worthy inclusion. Boden, the beloved British brand, has undergone a major glow-up, earning its B Corp certification and focusing on quality, timeless pieces. While it skews more preppy and colorful than Sézane, its commitment to quality knits ($120-$200) and charming floral blouses ($90-$140) makes it a fantastic alternative for someone who wants that same "buy-it-for-life" feel.

With so many options, the choice comes down to what you’re actually shopping for. For the perfect knit, your best bets are La Ligne for stripe-focused luxury, Everlane for minimalist cashmere, or & Other Stories for a trendy, affordable mohair blend. If you need an effortless floral dress, go to Reformation for a sexy, sustainable option, Faithfull The Brand for a vacation-ready linen, or Doen for soft, romantic cotton. For a polished work blouse, head to Aritzia for the best value, Sandro for a high-fashion silk, or Everlane for a minimalist "Clean Silk." And for that true Parisian vibe on a budget, start with & Other Stories or look for affordable non-fast fashion brands that capture the look.
The magic of Sézane is real, but it’s not the only brand that can deliver that hit of feminine, timeless, and conscious style. The best-dressed people I know build their wardrobe by cherry-picking the best of each brand—the knits from Sézane, the trousers from Aritzia, the linen set from Posse, and the statement dress from Reformation. Building a personal, lasting wardrobe is about discovery, not loyalty.
