Fashion People Have Officially Swapped Their Boxy Blazers for This Richer-Looking Alt

Outerwear has been getting the nip-and-tuck treatment over the last few seasons. Whether it's a blazer with an hourglass shape or a leather jacket with a cinched-in waist, the must-have silhouettes have been coming in closely cropped and figure-defining cuts. So as these fitted styles will be front-runners for spring 2025, cropped jackets will continue to rise in popularity as well. Unfortunately, that means oversized styles like boxy blazers are on the decline, but trust me, the cropped styles taking their place look far wealthier.

Cropped jackets (and cropped blazers, too for that matter) are the cut that the fashion crowd will embrace the most this season and in even more noteworthy ways over the next few months. Keep scrolling to check out how style setters have been wearing cropped jackets. Plus, I've included a range of shopping inspiration if you want to get in on this trend now.

How Fashion People Style Cropped Jackets

You can always rely on a black blazer and blue jeans. The combination is tried and true for a reason, but if you're looking for ways to level up the uniform, swapping the blazer for a cropped and structured jacket like the kind Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks wears above makes for a far more "wealthy" look.

An oversize shearling jacket is certainly cool, but a cropped style instantly makes it look forward and very current.

A sleek tweed jacket will bring instant sophistication to any look, especially a structured style with ornate gold details.

When paired with an A-line skirt, a cropped style is very elegant. The jacket's hemline aligns perfectly with the skirt's waistline, creating one beautiful silhouette.
