We’re approaching one of my favorite times of the year, when I get to break out almost every type of jacket I have in my closet. And spring 2025 is all about the holy grail for petites, aka cropped jackets that hit at or just above the hip bone, after designers like Isabel Marant and Prada showcased shortened pieces in their spring/summer collections. If you want to style a cropped jacket like they do on the runways, make sure to pair it with pants or midi skirts that meet at the jacket’s hemline, and don’t be afraid to wear it with an A-line or sheath spring dress, too, to break up the fabric. To get your wishlist started, here are some of the best cropped jackets for every occasion to shop in trendy and traditional styles, from everyone’s favorite barn coat to timeless denim jackets.
