Sezane Clyde Trench Reddit Community Review

After analyzing multiple Reddit threads between January 2024 and March 2025, here’s what the Reddit community is saying about the much-discussed Sezane Clyde Trench Coat

The Good

Comfort & Versatility “I have the dark green and I love it – I found this color to be softer and more drapey cause of the composition.” (10 upvotes)
Sizing Flexibility “I sized down from a 4 to a 2 and it still has room for a thick sweater, but you can also keep your usual size for an oversized fit!” (10 upvotes)
Durability “I bought this exact coat earlier this year and absolutely loved it and still do!” (8 upvotes)
Layering Options “It’s not as warm as regular winter parkas but I have a thin puffy jacket from Uniqlo that I wore underneath this coat and that made it much warmer.” (8 upvotes)

The Not So Good

Wrinkling Issues “Mine also wrinkles very easily and I have the camel color. I also think it’s a bit of a dealbreaker.” (12 upvotes)
Unflattering Fit “Trench coats shouldn’t look this frumpy just from the sheer act of sitting.” (12 upvotes)
Construction Problems “The stitching in one of the coat pockets opened after one or two months of wearing it daily so I had to stitch it up myself.” (8 upvotes)
Overwhelming on Petite Frames “I think the cut is just too voluminous for such a petite frame.” (34 upvotes)

Sizing & fit is the most discussed aspect across all threads:

Looks better open vs. closed: “Looks great opened, a bit odd when closed” (5 upvotes)
“Only if you leave it open. It’s a no buttoned up” (4 upvotes)
Others disagree: “Actually like it buttoned up on you even more!” (8 upvotes)
The checkered lining is highly popular: “I am a sucker for the lining so the Clyde is my choice” (11 upvotes)
Temperature range: “For me it’s more a late spring, colder summer and early autumn coat”

Compared to alternatives

Other Sezane Coats

Sezane Scott Trench: More structured, more classic silhouette, preferred by many for versatility
“I have both the Scott and Clyde. They’re different enough imo. I have the Scott in navy and love the classic look.” (9 upvotes)
Bobby Coat: “Recently ordered Clyde and returned it within an hour for a Bobby, which is perfection. Highly recommend that route instead!” (14 upvotes)
Mederick Coat: “I would get the Mederick because I love wrap coats and the Mederick looks warm and reasonable quality.” (8 upvotes)

Other Brands:

Everlane Long Mac Coat: Frequently mentioned as a much more affordable alternative (~$150 CAD)
Oak + Fort: “I have a $130 trench coat from Oak + Fort that looks very similar, doesn’t wrinkle, and is actually water-repellent” (55 upvotes)

The Verdict

Reddit users have mixed feelings about the Sezane Clyde Coat. While praised for its style, versatility, and layering potential, complaints about wrinkling, fabric quality, and fit weigh down its reputation. Many users suggest also looking at Sezane’s Bobby or Scott coats if you are considering the Clyde,.
