If you've also been struggling to find the right layer for these in-between days—too chilly to go without, yet not cold enough for a heavy coat—then you've come to the right place. I was in exactly the same predicament myself, that was until I spotted an elegant jacket trend crop up across the Replica Handbags set in Paris this week.
Appearing not once, not twice, but three times over the course of the week, I spotted Kate Moss, Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swap their warm wool coats for neatly cropped jackets this season.
Wearing hers with an all-black base, Moss introduced interest into her outfit by incorporating a variety of fabrics and textures. Adding a hard edge to her look by means of her cropped leather jacket, Moss then layered in a softer energy, pairing her look with satin lingerie-inspired shorts. Adding even more dimension, Moss selected fishnet tights, with pretty lace detailing, and completed her look with studded ankle boots. With a cropped cut, Moss' jacket worked well with her mid-rise shorts, creating a streamlined look that felt anything but boring.
Taking a similar styling cue, I also spotted model Gigi Hadid wearing a cropped leather jacket in Paris this week. Opting for a more low-key look, Hadid paired her jacket with simple straight-leg, high-waisted jeans, tucking her cropped jacket into her denim for a sleeker silhouette. Relying on the same jet-black palette as Moss, Hadid's jeans and cropped jacket outfit contained all of the cool-girl essence that Parisians channel so well.
Proving that the jacket trend works just as well with skirts as it does with jeans and shorts, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepped out for a series of events in Paris wearing a satin cropped Saint Laurent Bomber Jacket (£2445) with a high-rise leather pencil skirt. Contrasting the serious vibe of her slim-fitting skirt, Huntington-Whiteley's cropped jacket added volume and drama to her daytime look that kept her outfit feeling playful and a little sporty.
