A cropped trench like this one is a fun topper for both warm days and cool evenings.

Made from a cotton blend with a hint of stretch, this jacket has all the classic features of traditional trench — notched lapels, belted cuffs, epaulets, and storm flaps — but in a fresh silhouette. I especially like it in “green fondant” for spring, but it also comes in tan for a classic look.

Nordstrom’s Crop Stretch Cotton Trench Coat is $179.
