My current obsession is the cool French brand Sezane. It started out as an EBAY shop but today is a fully fledged label, used to only available online. The label uses sustainable fabrics and was online to make the prices accessible by cutting out the middle-man and bricks and mortar costs. Due it’s huge success it now has a concession in Selfridges and a shop in Notting Hill.

The best thing about this label is their designs are all vintage inspired and have a left bank vibe, that cool Parisien look that is so desirable! Their summer collection is awesome but I especially love their jumpsuits - they are the best summer versions I’ve come across. The smarter collared version would work for some offices.

  1. This Charles jumpsuit comes in red, green or black but the black has now sold out. I love the fact it is tailored and quite smart but has a very sexy back. Great for a garden party or summer party. You’d have to get one of those stick on bras from M&S to hold up your boobs but that’s easily done!

2. I have so much love for this denim jumpsuit. I’ve got a black denim one from ASOS that I can’t stop wearing and I know this one would get tons of wear too so I’ve ordered it! I love it with the strappy sandals in this photo.

3. Coffee jumpsuit. I really think this would work for more relaxed work places in summer as a stylish, head turning outfit option.

Finally I want to mention the sezane dresses and trousers - the whole damn collection is amazing! But especially the polka dot wide legged trousers, I confess I have also ordered these for summer party season although not with the tiny top in the photo! I’d look like mutton trussed-up in that so I’m going for my plain linen square neck top from Warehouse - this has already been super useful this year and looks brilliant tucked in with high waisted trousers. It also works tucked out as is a slight peplum at the bottom.
