Everything to know about Sézane’s Clyde Coat
Having basics in your closet that you always reach for is so essential. So let’s talk about outerwear. One of my most worn outerwear pieces is this trenchcoat from Sezane. The past few years I have lived in the south so it’s been the perfect lightweight outerwear for me. I can wear it pretty much from the fall all the way through the spring. And as we know, a trenchcoat is a very classic staple piece in your closet, so this was very much worth the investment.
This is the Clyde trenchcoat from Sezane in the light beige color. I’m really looking at materials when I’m purchasing pieces so this being 100% cotton is great. Obviously bigger brands like Sezane have a bit of a price tag on them. So while $355 is expensive, I have worn it so much that I think it is worth it.
It’s definitely my favorite to throw over any base outfit just to feel a little bit more chic and put together. The best part about this specific trenchcoat is the plaid inside. I think that the pattern is so cute in the such a nice little detail that adds a lot to the piece.
I think it’s so versatile as well because of the color the light beige really does go with everything in my closet so that makes it really easy to add to any outfit. If you own this coat, do you feel like it is also one of your most worn pieces?!? #lemon8partner #lemon8creator #outfitinspo
While my personal experience glows for the light beige Sézane Clyde trench, I know many of you are also eyeing the dark green Clyde coat – and for good reason! The beauty of the Clyde's classic design means its versatility translates beautifully across different hues. A dark green trench would offer a richer, deeper aesthetic, perhaps feeling more autumnal or sophisticated, while still retaining that effortless chic appeal. It could be stunning paired with warm neutrals like cream or camel, or even vibrant jewel tones for a bolder look. Speaking of versatility, this coat truly lives up to being an 'outfit elevator' and incredibly 'easy to style.' For those relaxed errand days, I love throwing my light beige Clyde trench over a simple striped tee, my favorite straight-leg jeans, and comfortable sneakers – it instantly transforms a basic outfit into something more polished and put-together. When I need to look a bit more formal, I've layered it over a tailored midi dress with ankle boots, or even over a crisp white shirt and wide-leg trousers for a sophisticated work ensemble. The neutral light beige color makes it an absolute dream to incorporate into any existing wardrobe, making it my 'popular everyday spring coat' and a reliable piece for fall transitions too. To ensure your Sézane Clyde trench remains a cherished 'investment piece' for years to come, proper care for its 100% cotton fabric is essential. I generally recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain its pristine shape and the integrity of that adorable plaid lining. For minor spills or marks, a gentle dab with a clean, damp cloth can work wonders. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can compromise the fabric's structure and color over time. Treating it with a little extra care will ensure it stays looking as good as new, justifying its price tag with its longevity. A common question I get about online purchases is sizing, and the Sézane Clyde trench is no exception. From my experience, it has a wonderfully relaxed yet structured fit, which is ideal for comfortable layering. If you're someone who often wears bulkier sweaters or hoodies underneath your outerwear, you might consider sizing up one size to allow for more room. However, for standard layering with blouses or lighter knits, your true size should give you that perfectly effortless, slightly oversized drape that's so characteristic of a classic trench. Always check Sézane's specific size guide, and think about how you envision wearing it most often to get the best fit. Ultimately, the Sézane Clyde trench isn't just another coat; it's a true 'classic staple' that adds immense value to your wardrobe. Its timeless design, coupled with the quality of the 100% cotton and thoughtful details like the inner plaid, makes it a piece you'll reach for constantly. It’s the kind of item that makes you feel instantly chic and put-together, no matter what you have on underneath. That continuous feeling of confidence and style, season after season, is what truly makes this trench coat a worthwhile investment.
