Affordable French Style: These 7 Sézane Dupes Cost Under $50

Because no, you don’t need to break the bank to dress like a French girl.

If you love French brands like Sézane as much as I do (but don’t love the price tag), you’re definitely not alone. Being a Paris-born brand, Sézane captures the romantic, slightly vintage side of French style perfectly.

It’s one of those brands that make you want to move to Paris and live your best French-girl life from your apartment overlooking the Seine.

But let’s be real for a second…

Not everyone has the budget to spend $150+ on one article of clothing or a pair of shoes.

So, with that in mind, here are chic, affordable alternatives that capture the same French aesthetic (and all cost under $50.)

I’ve spent hours hand-picking the items in this article to reflect real French style and help you stay within a reasonable budget.

If you want to find the best Sézane dupes at a fraction of the price, this one’s for you.

1. French-style cardigans

There’s something so classic about light button-up cardigans. You can wear them year-round, and they go with everything. No joke, I wear a cardigan most days.

Sézane makes cardigans that are soft, feminine, and perfect for layering. But… they’re not exactly cheap. If you can’t afford the price tag, here are some budget alternatives that nail the same style really well.

2. Romantic Sézane blouse dupes

As a French girl, I love blouses. If I could wear only one top during the summer, it would probably be this. They’re so cute and versatile, and they’re very French. You can pair them with skirts, layer over a dress, or wear them with jeans to make your outfits so much prettier, like @mariellehaon does so well.

Here are my top picks, all for under $50.


3. The Parisian tee

Having a high-quality t-shirt is one of those things you just need to have to build a great French-girl-inspired wardrobe. But again, this really doesn’t have to break the bank.

And here’s the good news: Some of Sézane’s t-shirts are actually $50 or less. These are made from organic cotton, so they’re breathable, long-lasting, and really comfortable.

Here are a few top choices:

4. Sézane-style kitten heels

Sézane kitten heels are gorgeous, but they cost several hundred dollars. Gulp.

That’s why I was absolutely thrilled to find a few pairs of kitten heels that preserve the same Parisian style but that, yes, you guessed it, cost under $50.

(With that said, some of these are on sale and tend to sell out fast. So if you want a pair, I would buy them quickly).

5. Classic French-girl jeans

Sézane jeans are amazing and very comfortable (I’m lucky enough to have snagged a pair for an incredible deal). But typically, they cost about $160, which isn’t cheap.

Here are a few picks that come close in terms of style and fit, but for much more reasonable prices.

6. Chic flats and Mary Janes

Sézane offers some beautiful, Paris-style flats and Mary Janes, but again, the price point isn’t exactly budget-friendly. That’s why I found a few alternatives so you can try this style without a big investment.

7. Romantic vintage-style floral dresses

Floral dresses are a staple French-girl wardrobe item, and unsurprisingly, Sézane offers some beautiful options. But… they often cost $200+. I curated a few alternative options that are all very French-looking but at a fraction of the cost (and you’d never know).

Final thoughts

Okay, there you have it! Now you know exactly where to find Sézane dupes that cost less than $50. As I know firsthand, Sézane is an incredible brand and I really love their style. But if you want to get the look for less, just know it’s completely possible!

What’s your favorite item on this list? I’d love to know.

Xoxo,
