The American SetThe Trench Coat Just Got a Hem Trim, and Fall Is Taking Notes
Cropped trenches are having a moment this season, turning up everywhere from runway collections to the racks of everyday retailers. The shorter cut keeps the coat's signature structure — the belt, the collar, the storm flaps — while trading the ankle-grazing length for something that ends at the hip. It's being positioned as the piece to bridge summer's last warm days and fall's first chill, layered over anything from a slip dress to jeans. Consider it the crown update on a wardrobe classic: same pedigree, new proportions.
