There’s a new jacket trend taking over, and according to social media, it’s already taken over Paris. Step aside, barn jacket—because November 2025 is officially the month of the cropped trench coat.

Think of it as the classic trench coat’s effortlessly cool younger sister. It still has that polished, rain-resistant elegance we all love, but with a modern twist that feels lighter, fresher, and way easier to style.
