Spring is that you? If you’re like us and completely obsessing over the sun this week, maybe the temperature not so much… but it really does feel like spring is on the way. We can’t quite ditch the heavy coats just yet, but we can definitely start making room in our wardrobes for new season essentials. A springtime layer that’s on our radar right now is the copped trench coat, we’ll take 5 in any colour.
The cropped trench is timeless and chic but with a modern twist. And we’re calling it now, this will be a celeb must have this season for sure. Sienna Miller, Vogue Williams and Hailey Bieber have already been spotted in one recently and if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us. It’s very easy to style and can be thrown over a white tee with jeans, a slinky floral dress or make the coat the outfit and have it buttoned up over a pair of straight leg jeans.
Alice Olivia Cross, Founder and Creative Director of Because of Alice, says: “The classic trench coat is a definitive wardrobe staple, but this season we will see the adapted cropped trench being a huge hit. This unique cut is a reinvention of a timeless style, and the ultra-cropped silhouette is perfect for layering over your looks when the weather starts getting warmer.”
