Short Jackets that are Long on Style

Ask anyone what the most essential outerwear is and they’ll tell you the same thing: a trench coat. The typically to-the-knee-or-longer coat has been a mainstay in wardrobes everywhere, but we still see room for something new in yours. You won’t always want to wear something as traditional as a trench—make sure to invest in one of these short jackets that can still help your style go the distance.

The Bomber

In the 1950s, pilots wore bomber jackets while flying high to stay warm. Today, you’ll look as cool as can be when you wear one with a pop of print or color. Even if you ground one with a neutral-colored polo and pant, it’ll still take your look up, up and away. But you won’t really be ready for takeoff until you add a pair of aviator sunglasses to top it off.

The Moto

Start your engines, because the cropped moto jacket will bring you up to style speed in an instant. The ultimate cool-kid staple, you’ll look ready to ride in even the most basic pieces in your closet, like a T-shirt and double-cuffed jeans. It’s always better in black, but don’t be afraid to embrace your inner daredevil and try one with extreme embellishments or colors.

The Varsity

School might be out, but you’re about to get a brief lesson in style. The varsity jacket was a signifier of sports victories, but it’s a win for your wardrobe, even if you don’t play sports. Make the most out of its athletic aesthetic and wear it with your favorite sneakers. Add a winning smile and you’ll be the most fashion-forward MVP around.

Long story short: a jacket might just stop at your waist, but it can still leave a long-lasting impression on your look.

These jackets will do anything but cut your style short.
