The classic trench with a twist will be autumn's most popular piece

The trench has long been the symbol of transitional style, but this autumn it comes with a new, fresher look. Shorter in length, broader in the shoulders and with a sharper silhouette, this updated classic feels more relaxed, youthful – almost sporty – and made for the first crisp days of the season.

The cropped trench works just as well with jeans and a T-shirt as it does layered over knitwear or paired with a skirt. Practical and versatile, it adds polish without effort and keeps you dry when the autumn showers arrive.

Fashion’s rule still stands: true classics never go out of style – they simply shift in proportion. While a long trench brings elegance and drama, the cropped version adds ease and dynamism. If you want a coat that blends practicality with style, this is the autumn staple you’ll be reaching for most.
