Timeless and chic with a hint of Parisian flair is the only brief we're following for 2025.
Let's be honest, after January's much-expected cold snap, many of us are over winter dressing. However, even as we eagerly await the chance to shed our big puffer jackets and wool coats, the consensus remains that layering is the easiest way to look instantly put-together. And for the fashion set, nothing beats a trench coat. Don't believe us? Consider the Sézane trench coat sported by Sienna Miller last year which practically flew off the digital shelves and amassed a waiting list of over 40,000 people. Although the Clyde Trench Coat remains a modern icon, for spring 2025, the French brand has reworked the classic for something a bit chicer, cooler and shorter. Much like its full length counterpart, Sézane's cropped Bobby Jacket, £240 boasts a certain Parisian je ne sais quoi while offering a practical layer for spring. Boxy and slightly oversized, the jacket, which features a checked lining, makes for a great transitional staple that adds an effortlessly chic flair to every outfit. The perfect 'light jacket' if you will. That Sienna Miller endorsed its longer twin is just more proof that the cropped trench coat is on its way to becoming the it jacket for SS25.Shop: Sézane's Bobby Jacket
Crafted with water-repellent organic cotton, this cropped trench will also keep you safe from Britain's perennial rain showers.
When it comes to styling the cropped trench, as with any closet classic, the opportunities are endless. Style as Miller did in Paris with wide leg trousers or throw over your favourite jeans and T-shirt combo for an elevated casual look. If you're looking to wear the cropped jacket while the temperature is still in the single digits, fear not, for it'll layer just as well over a cosy jumper or perhaps even a knitted dress and knee-high boots. The cult-favourite French brand, which counts celebrities including Selena Gomez and Kate Middleton as fans, has built a reputation for crafting well-made and timeless staples, so you can be sure the Bobby jacket will serve you well for years to come. Avoid the waitlist and shop the spring staple now.Shop: Sézane's Clyde Trench Coat
