Layering season is here y'all! And when it comes to layering outfits during the Fall and especially during the Summer-to-Fall transitional period, a trench coat is a versatile choice to infuse the season's aura into your wardrobe. Trench jackets are a staple piece for transitional weather, think early Spring and early Fall. The classic trench coat features a midi length, a structured khaki material, and a double-breasted button closure. Over the years however, the color palette for trench coats has expanded from neutral khaki to bold hues such as red and yellow. And more recently, trench coats have undergone even more fashionable updates including a shorter length. From midi, we now have cropped trench coats that are easy to layer and lend a contemporary vibe to Fall fashion. Here is some outfit inspiration to style a cropped trench this Fall.
A Cropped Trench Jacket and Wide-Leg Pants Neutral Outfit
Wide-leg pants are year-round staples and they work beautifully with Fall outfits. For this look, I paired light brown wide-leg linen pants with an off-white cropped trench coat for an easy office look. If you want to add some punch to your cropped trench, make sure to button it all the way up, pop your collar, scrunch your sleeves, and go for a wide leather belt. These simple tricks are sure to elevate your look and give your trench jacket an even trendier vibe.
A Cropped Trench Jacket with a Denim Jumpsuit
As it turns out, adding dressy pointy leather pumps and a trench jacket to blue jeans instantly takes your look from super casual to a more classic and refined fit. For an even trendier spin, size up in a wide-leg denim jumpsuit to create some tension between that oversized fit and the more elevated pumps and trench combo.
A Cropped Trench Coat with an Oversized Shirt and Printed Pants
In case you had doubts, bold prints can be worn year-round! And I never waste an opportunity to get into these black and white batik palazzo pants. They exude a unique ethnic flair, yet blend seamlessly into modern style. I wore these with an oversized white shirt and a khaki cropped trench jacket. This is a bold yet versatile outfit that can multitask between work and all of your daytime feats.
A Cropped Leather Trench Coat with Balloon Jeans
If there's one outfit formula that never fails during the Fall, it's a statement pair of jeans with a trench coat. For this look, I was going for a classic Fall outfit mixed with some contemporary edge hence the balloon cargo jeans with a brown cropped faux leather trench. This pairing gives off a modern chic allure and just enough edge to turn heads at big fashion events such as New York Fashion Week. To keep the look elevated, opt for classic pumps and a small structured bag. For an on-trend take, make sure to pop your collar.
