It's not your grandmother's jacket -- it's trendy, stylish, and uber-chic!

 

The trench coat has evolved into a shorter, often times cropped, model to become the fashionable and uber-chic Amazing Trench Jacket! Today there are so many fashionable brands of the updated trench jacket, as well as the trench coat.  The trench coat becomes a trench jacket when it rises above the mid to upper thigh.  Many of the stylish trench jackets are cut to fall just below, at, or just above the waist.

In this lens, I'll introduce you to a variety of the amazing trench jackets I've come across.  For example, the one pictured here.  It's the INC International Concepts® Cropped Double-Breasted Patent-Leather Trench Jacket for $209.00 was spotted at Macys.  This trench jacket is definitely one of the more stylized examples of the Amazing Trench Jacket! It's leather and has a lot of stylish extras including a notched collar, epaulettes with domed-button details, domed button closures, and elbow-length sleeves with adjustable tabs at cuffs.
