10 Chic French Fashion Brands Like Sézane You’ll Love
Sézane has earned cult status for good reason. With its effortlessly undone French-girl aesthetic, the Parisian label has become a go-to for women seeking romantic bohemian dresses, buttery-soft knits, and timeless wardrobe staples. Add in the fact that Sézane is B Corp-certified—meeting strict standards for sustainability and transparency—and you’ve got a brand that feels as good to shop as it looks to wear.
But as much as we adore Sézane, it’s far from the only French label capturing that elusive Parisienne charm. After spending years in France, I’ve discovered several other brands that embody the same balance of romance, ease, and quality. Some are household names, others are under-the-radar gems—but all of them deserve a spot on your shopping list.
Here are 10 French fashion brands like Sézane you’ll want to bookmark for your next style refresh.
1. Balzac Paris
Balzac Paris blends sustainability with a playful Parisian spirit. Expect effortless staples—crisp shirts, chic trousers, and standout leather bags—infused with bold twists like leopard prints, vintage-inspired collars, and pops of red or pink. Every piece is created under their TPR (Toujours Plus Responsable) promise: fashion that’s always more responsible.
2. Petite Mendigote
Originally an accessories line, Petite Mendigote has blossomed into a beloved French fashion brand. Known for romantic silhouettes, embroidery, and whimsical prints, it’s a label that encourages femininity with confidence. The collections are designed for versatility—elegant enough for work, comfortable enough for everyday life.
3. Sessùn
From Marseille to the world, Sessùn brings a bohemian touch rooted in craftsmanship. Inspired by South American artisans, founder Emma François shaped a brand that values texture and detail. Sessùn’s aesthetic leans minimalist, but never dull—the tailoring of their trousers alone makes them a worthwhile investment. Like Sézane, Sessùn is all about elevated essentials that feel like old favorites from the first wear.
4. Libertie
If you love Sézane but your wallet doesn’t, Libertie is your answer. Trend-driven and affordable, the brand offers a steady stream of new arrivals: chic dresses around €60, blouses at €40, jeans under €50. Add to that an impressive selection of shoes and accessories, and you’ve got a one-stop shop for building a French-inspired wardrobe on a budget.
5. Des Petits Hauts
Since 2000, Des Petits Hauts has carved out a niche for itself with cheerful prints, cozy knits, and feminine details. Their pastel-hued cardigans rival Sézane’s bestsellers, while floaty blouses and dresses make effortless summer staples. With boutiques across France, it’s a favorite of women who want clothing that feels playful yet polished.
6. Pablo
Pablo is the sister brand to Gérard Darel, designed with a boyish-preppy edge that’s still distinctly French. Think pea coats, tailored dresses, and timeless denim—all inspired by art, literature, and cinema. Collaborations with French style icons like Clémence Poésy and Camille Rowe highlight the brand’s cultural roots. If you want subtle Parisian elegance without chasing trends, Pablo is worth a look.
7. Stella et Suzie
What began as a Parisian concept store has grown into one of France’s buzziest labels. Stella et Suzie is all about modern femininity with a boho twist: bright prints, bold colors, and carefully crafted fabrics. Monthly capsule collections keep things fresh, and the best part? They ship worldwide—including to the U.S.
8. SAAJ Paris
If you were following French style blogs in the mid-2010s, you probably came across SAAJ Paris. The brand quickly gained traction for its wrap dresses, retro denim, and floral skirts—all made in France using premium materials. SAAJ remains a favorite for women who want timeless staples infused with authentic Parisian flair.
9. An’ge
Family-run since 1985, An’ge is the definition of Parisian glamour-meets-playfulness. Expect exclusive prints, bold colors, and a little sparkle—perfect for adding drama to your everyday wardrobe. Compared to Sézane, An’ge leans more glamorous, but it taps into the same bohemian spirit at accessible prices.
10. Louise Misha
If your heart belongs to boho style, Louise Misha should be on your radar. Inspired by travel and nostalgia, the brand is known for airy cotton voile dresses, paisley blouses, and quilted jackets. With comfort at its core, Louise Misha proves that what’s beautiful should also be easy to wear. Bonus: the label has expanded into children’s clothing and home accessories, all carrying the same free-spirited ethos.
More Brands Worth Exploring
The French fashion scene has no shortage of Sézane-adjacent labels. For timeless staples, check out Comptoir des Cotonniers (think French Gap) or Rosae Paris for beautifully tailored outerwear. Soeur offers a more minimalist, quietly chic take, while Cotélac and Karl Marc John deliver romantic bohemian flair.
Outside France, Lazzari in Italy and Orta in Belgium channel that same mix of vintage-inspired femininity and modern ease. And if you’re shopping on a budget, Promod is a popular French high-street option.
For footwear, Jonak, Bobbies, and Mellow Yellow all embody Parisian shoe design at its best—perfect companions to your Sézane-inspired outfits.
Final Thoughts
Sézane may have introduced you to the effortless charm of French-girl style, but it’s far from the only label offering that mix of romance, quality, and ease. Whether you gravitate toward bohemian prints, sharp tailoring, or playful staples, these French brands bring the same je ne sais quoi to your wardrobe.
So the next time you’re craving a Parisian fashion fix, remember—there’s a whole world beyond Sézane waiting to be discovered.
