Sézane is bringing back its Pippa dress in a vintage floral print: the chic look Parisian women are rocking to beat the 35° heat
Weather maps are turning red, thermometers are climbing past 35°C, and the same question comes up every morning: what should I wear to look presentable without overheating? Sézane offers a practical solution this summer of 2026 with the re-release of its iconic style, the Pippa dress, now available in a brand-new print that’s already making waves.
The Pippa Dress by Sézane: Why It’s Perfect for Hot Weather
When it comes to a heat wave, choosing a dress isn’t something you do on a whim. The cut matters just as much as the fabric. The Pippa dress meets both of these criteria with such precision that it’s no wonder it’s a bestseller.
Its trompe-l’œil wrap-around design plays on optical illusion. A delicate drape on the side flatters the waist without ever feeling constricting. This highlights the silhouette without the garment clinging to the skin from the very first moment.
The fabric, however, remains the standout feature. The dress is made from a flowing, breathable organic cotton. This fabric allows air to circulate and absorbs heat without making the outfit feel heavy as the hours go by.
“Don’t let the heat wave dictate your style. Combine comfort with Parisian chic before the temperature really starts to rise.”
A cut designed to flatter all body types
The short version of the Pippa is both accessible and versatile. Its figure-hugging silhouette flatters a wide range of body types without feeling tight or restrictive. That’s exactly what makes it such a popular piece every summer.
In addition, the side drape creates a natural movement with every step. The result is both casual and polished, without requiring any special effort when getting dressed.
The Hérodie Print: The Vintage Floral Pattern for Summer 2026
For this season, the Parisian brand is offering its iconic dress in a new print called “Hérodie.” This vintage floral pattern features romantic, retro tones that stand in contrast to the saturated colors often seen in summer collections.
This twist instantly breathes new life into your wardrobe. The print works just as well on the short version as it does on the long version of the Pippa. It gives the dress a bold look without being over the top.
Paired with a pair of leather sandals and a raffia bag, this dress is just as suitable for a day of meetings at the office as it is for a drink on a terrace at dusk. That’s the beauty of a well-designed piece: it carries you through the day without losing its elegance.

How to Wear It Every Day Without Making a Mistake
The Pippa dress is best worn on its own, without any unnecessary accessories. However, just two pieces are all you need to put together a complete outfit: flat leather sandals for daytime, and a raffia bag for a summery look.
For cooler evenings, a light cardigan draped over the shoulders complements the outfit without disrupting the harmony of the print. This way, the dress remains the focal point of the look.
Must-Have Colors and Styles for This Summer
The favorite brand of Parisian women doesn’t offer just one style, but a collection designed to suit every taste. The long version of the Pippa is available in 10 colors and prints, among which a fresh, luminous rosewood stands out for its softness.
As for the color options for the short version, mahogany adds a sunny, bohemian warmth. Coral, on the other hand, is a trendy choice with a bolder character. For those who prefer a more understated look, the black version remains a no-compromise option.
Each color has its own unique character. Yet they all share the same wrap-around cut and the same organic cotton fabric. It is this common foundation that makes the Pippa a instantly recognizable dress, no matter which color you choose.
This summer of 2026, Sézane proves that you can get through a heat wave without compromising your style. The Pippa dress, in its new variations, remains one of the season’s most versatile pieces for beating the heat in style.
