David Jones just dropped a trending cropped trench jacket that everyone is reaching for this spring

Spring has officially sprung, bringing warmer temperatures across Aussie shores, making it much easier to get dressed in the morning.

The shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) means we can once again wear a simple pair of jeans, pants or Bermuda shorts with a simple shirt to the office.

But when there’s a breeze or early morning chills, we’re still reaching for a trusty jacket — preferably one that is lightweight, with plenty of room to layer up underneath.

Cropped trench coats very much tick all the boxes for spring, and I’ve just discovered a strong contender at David Jones , from the in-house brand.

The Short Trench Cotton Cropped Coat, $299 , in a mushroom colour, is quickly becoming a sought-after style for women looking for a light layer to wear on a daily basis.

It’s cool, comfy and has a trending boxy silhouette that doesn’t sit too closely to the body.

We’re just a few days into spring and cropped trench jackets are already being spotted everywhere.

Since they are shorter in length than a traditional trench , they are easier to style with all kinds of outfits, from smart suiting to casual weekend fits.

Shoppers are already raving about the fit and feel of David Jones’ Cropped Trench , and its ability to be worn with almost everything in their wardrobes.

“It fits perfectly, is comfortable to wear, and looks stylish with both casual and dressier outfits . I’ve already worn it several times and have had lots of compliments.”

David Jones’ in-house collection has become a go-to for shoppers looking for high-quality pieces that will last them seasons to come.

Spanning women’s, men’s, kids and even homewares, this label can be found online and in-store.

I’ve already got a few items on my wishlist, including a pair of Pull On Satin Pants, $129 , that would easily elevate the basic white tee I currently dress down with jeans.

As someone who frantically searches through a wardrobe for something evening-appropriate — this one ticks all the boxes for a smart casual dress code.
