The classic trench coat, a staple for chilly seasons, has undergone a stylish transformation. With its traditional design maintained but the hemline cropped, this wardrobe essential now exudes a contemporary street-style vibe. Fashion designers and creative directors worldwide have reimagined this timeless piece, trimming just the right amount to create the ideal alternative for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
Born in the 1940s, the trench coat quickly became a hallmark of smart, efficient wardrobes. Once a symbol of spy chic, it evolved into a classic must-have in every closet. The latest iteration stays true to the wide lapels, belted cuffs, and vintage-style buttons, but with a shorter silhouette. Cropped above the waist, the new design offers a flattering boxy structure and leaves plenty of room to showcase legwear.

Just last week, Kylie Jenner was spotted wearing a cropped trench coat by Miu Miu, pairing the off-white design with a black leather mini skirt and tall leather boots. She's not alone—other "It" girls have already embraced this rising trend.
In Israel, local and international brands alike have embraced this updated classic. For Israeli fashionistas eager to spice up their streetwear game, there are endless styling options. Pair your short trench with lightweight sweaters, neutral basic tops, relaxed or straight-leg jeans, or even a flared tracksuit for a sporty touch. Mini skirts are another option for those willing to brave the cold.
