Cropped at the hip, this season offers a fresh new take on the classic trench. DISSH and Witchery offer structured, waist-defining styles, while Tommy Hilfiger have kept their classic Americana with a sporty off-white shade. This clean silhouette is all about sharp shoulders, neat waists, and clean lines ⁠–⁠ perfect for denim, tailoring, or mid-length skirts.

Suede returns this season in soft, tactile finishes and unexpected shades. Sheike's 'Tiana' jacket comes with a matching mid-length skirt (just add a silk button-down and slingbacks). Sandro ups the cool factor with an on-trend funnel-collar and Western-style embellishments. Michael Kors’ navy iteration exudes New York cool (think: denim and a white tee), while R.M.Williams’ take is classic from head-to-toe: perfectly cropped, and available with a matching miniskirt.

The fashion world has fallen hard for the chalet life. In fact, searches for “skiwear” are going up a staggering 630% year-on-year. Camilla and Marc and Golden Goose are both offering sculptural, brighter-than-white puffers. Moncler’s ‘Papillon’ jacket is a trusted classic for a reason, finished in on-trend caramel. Canada Goose’s ‘Grandview’ style blends technical elements with a sleek cropped silhouette (we love the sweet-chic of this baby pink hue). While Arc’teryx’s black shell jacket is a minimalist’s apres dream.

This season, chocolate, espresso, and mocha replace black as our most-loved neutral. When it comes to outerwear, the versatility of this new palette is on full display, from luxe leather trench coats (like this iteration from Coach, with its belted waist and statement collar) to lightweight shell jackets (Cotton On’s boxy biker jackets). Longchamp’s kimono-style jacket in ‘Mocha’ blends a sculptural sensibility with effortless Parisian ease, while Weekend Max Mara have mastered the everyday leather jacket, in a stylish shade of pecan.
