As we move between the seasons, I've been on the hunt for the perfect lightweight cover-up. Looking for something that would keep me dry during spring showers but fold up easily when the sun comes out, I took to the high street with a checklist in hand. Luckily, it didn't take long until I stumbled across my solution. Having spotted so many of my favourite influencers styling cropped trench coats lately, I quickly realised that the answer to my outerwear dilemma had only been a brief scroll away. Ever a fan of a classic trench, I've been after something a little more versatile to take me from early spring right through until summer. Cue the cropped trench coat.
If you want to re-create spring-ready trench coat looks without swamping yourself in fabric, you'll be pleased to hear that cropped versions are doing the rounds online, as influencers invigorate their wardrobes with this new-season buy. And whilst there are a good few cropped trench coats on offer right now, there's one I keep seeing on IG.
Fulfilling my very specific demands, Hush's version features a thigh-skimming length, relaxed and boxy shape and soft beige tone, making it a standout amongst competitors.
I'll be styling this jacket with a wool jumper and straight-leg jeans for as long as the weather remains on the gusty side, but when spring fully takes the helm, it'll act as the perfect layer to style with my cotton dresses and lightweight tees.
