It’s not a blazer or a trench coat …
We may associate spring as a time for blazers or as optimum trench weather (shop our favourite trenches, from budget to blow-out here) – but this season sees a change in tone. The jacket of the moment? It’s cropped, it’s boxy and it’s got a utilitarian twist. Cropped shirt jackets with pockets are trending right now. We love them for their practicality (ample pockets equal ample places to put things) and their warmth – most are made from wool or cotton-blend twill, making them perfect for this inbetween-y weather. Do as the fashion crowd does and wear one with straight-leg jeans and ballet pumps in a zinging, bright shade. Shop our favourite styles below.
