Sézane Bobby Jacket Reddit Community Reviews

Written by

The Sézane Bobby jacket has become a cult favorite for its cropped silhouette, timeless styling, and Parisian vibe. But is it worth the $310+ price tag?


The Good

  • Easy to style and goes with everything:“It is the greatest jacket of all time. Super easy to style and goes with everything.” (22 upvotes)
  • Timeless but playful:“Classic with a touch of Barbie. Will always be in style.” (23 upvotes)
  • Petite-friendly fit: “I love it and as a petite woman myself… It’s such a cute teeny-tiny shorty trench coat made for us (aka below 5’5 girls).” (6 upvotes) –“I’m 5’2″ on a good day, not quite 100 lbs, with very narrow shoulders and I love my size 2.” (4 upvotes)
  • Great for spring and layering: “It’s such a great spring/transitional jacket.” (4 upvotes) “I can definitely fit sweaters under mine, sleeves are wide.” (14 upvotes)
  • Highly recommended by fans:“Bobby is really cute!!! Keep it!” (24 upvotes) “I think your post may have influenced me into buying it 😂” (31 upvotes)


The Not So Good

  • Might be too trendy for some: “It’s more of a trend piece. Might be a better investment to get the long trench and have a timeless piece.” (7 upvotes) “I’m glad I went with the Carter because I feel like it’s less likely to go out of fashion!” (8 upvotes)
  • Mixed sizing feedback: “If there were a 0, I’d love it even more.” (4 upvotes) “I have a size 4 – which is my typical size in Sézane. I did not try a size 2 though I imagine it would have worked fine.” (14 upvotes)
  • Style expectations don’t always match real life: “I saw the Bobby on another girl my height on the street the day after and it didn’t look as good as I imagined :(. I realized then that the Bobby is much more of a fashion piece.” (8 upvotes)
  • Price tag causes hesitation: “All I can say is that I’m so glad I’m pregnant and I live in Texas where it’s hot af otherwise I would absolutely be spending $310 plus taxes on this right now lol.” (15 upvotes)


How It Compares?

  • vs. Carter Jacket (Sézane): “I wanted the Bobby originally but it was out on the website so I got the Carter instead. I’m actually so glad I did…” (8 upvotes)
  • vs. Other Sézane products: “I just bought the Will jacket in olive green/khaki as my spring jacket for the year.” (16 upvotes)
  • vs. Rouje: “Rouje is more feminine, romantic and fitted.” (66 upvotes) “Rouje uses a lot of viscose and synthetics.” (20 upvotes)


Tips Before You Buy

  • Try in-store if you can:“Luckily there is a store where I live so I will be able to try it before buying it.” (6 upvotes)
  • Returns are easy:“Returns are easy IMO. UPS with a label that comes in the box- and off it goes.” (14 upvotes)
  • Consider your proportions when sizing: “I am 5’5, and if you notice your shoulders as small, sizing down can serve you well.” (14 upvotes)


The Verdict

The Sezane Bobby jacket earns strong praise for its petite-friendly proportions, versatility, and flattering shape. Most buyers say it’s easy to wear, easy to style, and feels like a staple—if you’re under 5’5.

Still, some call it more trendy than timeless and question whether the $300+ price is justified long-term.
