Cropped jackets are making a comeback this season. These versatile pieces are perfect for adding a modern, chic edge to your winter wardrobe.
Here are some tricks and tips on how to style your latest crop to suit different occasions.
The Cropped Trench
This classic trench shade stands out against the co-ordinating blue denim pieces to create an elegant but slightly edgy ensemble.
Tip: Want to hide the hips? Then layer a longer shirt or blouse underneath your cropped jacket to achieve a chic, layered look.
