The trench coat has long since ceased to be seen as a raincoat, because you can also pull the spring coat out of the closet in bright, sunny weather. The long, usually double coat with a belt at the waist has been a great favorite in both spring and fall for years. The beige trench coat in particular continues to sell like hot cakes every year. This season, however, the normal, long trench coat is getting a formidable competitor. The short trench coat is being spotted more and more often and seems to be the favorite coat of spring and summer 2025.
What is a short trench coat?
Don't get us wrong: the short beige trench coat is certainly no replacement for the long version. The long trench coat is and remains a timeless item and therefore always a good fashion investment for your wardrobe. Yet we completely understand why the cropped trench coat has become so popular in such a short time.
The short beige trench coat is often double breasted , a bit oversized and unlike the long coat, has no belt at the waist . The other features of the long trench coat, such as the flat collar and belt buckles at the sleeve ends , are often the same for the short trench coat. The short jacket also often has flaps at the front, just like the long trench coat.
