While the French clothing brand Sezane is best known for their knits and dresses, they have an entire clothing collection that is classic and perfectly Parisian. Today's post is going to be focused on sharing a full review about the Rome Shorts - their iconic silhouette - and the Kenny Shorts in a beautiful floral print for the summer.
We'll focus on:
- fit
- style
- versatility
- color/patterns
Sezane's Summer Shorts Sizing
From the timeless silhouette of the Rome shorts to the tailored style of the Alberello Shorts, Sezane's collection of summer shorts is not surprisingly easy to imagine styling and wearing year over year.
They're an investment for summer shorts, but the quality is unparalleled and the styles will instantly elevate your summer outfits. As a petite woman, I'm always thinking about inseam when it comes to my shorts. I don't mind a longer inseam, ultimately I find them quite comfortable, but it does look a little silly if a pair of shorts is supposed to be more tailored and ends up in the baggy category.
Overall, I do wish Sezane's shorts had one more size smaller. After going on quite a healthy journey over the past year, I'm at a very stable body proportion and find that I have to cinch my Sezane Rome shorts in a bit because they are a size 2.
Ultimately, I would say that Sezane's size 2 generally does fit me as a 5'1" woman, but I do have to wear a belt and use said belt to keep them securely on my high waist.
Sezane's Kenny Shorts Review
Size: 2
Color: Small Flowers
Fit: vintage style with a flat front and top pockets. No belt loops are the only downside.
I do love the style and color way of the Kenny Shorts. They're very classic and the delicate floral print allows so many colors to be paired with them - from contrasting patterns to solid tops.
Again, I do wish they came in a Size 0 for a bit more secure fit around my waist, but I do love the length and fabric composition (100% organic cotton) of the shorts.
Sezane's Rome Shorts Review
Size: Size 2
Color: Ecru *comes in 8 color ways
Fit: high waisted with detachable belt. Comfortable and flattering.
I've had my Rome shorts for about a year and a half now and they are the classiest and also comfiest shorts I own. I absolutely love the Ecru color because you can so rarely find beautiful ivory shorts that aren't see through. Ultimately, I'd love to get this same style in the Denim and the Washed Black as well.
The detachable belt is wonderful to keep the shorts cinched at my high waist and it works well to add your own belt for a contrasting look or even a silk scarf for a pop of color.
