Women's cropped jackets: the length that redefines the silhouette
Mango's women's cropped jackets are characterized by a length that ends at or just above the waist, a cut that flatters the figure and works especially well combined with high-waisted garments. Unlike a conventionally long jacket, the cropped style doesn't aim to cover but rather to frame the figure, allowing the garment worn underneath to take center stage.
Leather, tweed and wool: a selection of fine materials
The leather jacket with a stand-up collar and the leather jacket with lapels, both in black and the latter also in brown, showcase the timeless finish of leather, with lapels or a more understated collar depending on the chosen style. The tweed jacket with decorative toggles, in red and off-white, incorporates tweed's characteristic weave alongside toggles as a decorative detail, a nod to classic tailoring reinterpreted in a shorter format. For those seeking a warmer, textured fabric, the wool jacket with a shirt collar, in green and medium brown, combines the warmth of wool with a shirt collar that lends a more relaxed feel, in keeping with the collection's knit jackets.
Parka and trench coat in a cropped version
The cropped style isn't limited to the classic jacket: the cotton parka with a corduroy collar, in beige and black, translates the parka's utilitarian spirit to a shorter length, with the contrasting texture provided by the corduroy collar. The belted leather cropped trench coat, in wine and chocolate, reinterprets the traditional trench coat in leather with a belt, resulting in a piece with more character than a denim jacket or a sportier bomber.
How to wear them: the perfect complement to a high waist
The cropped length requires careful consideration of what goes underneath: high-waisted trousers or a skirt are the most flattering combination, as they prevent a visual gap at the waist. A leather jacket works well over a midi dress for a contrast of textures, while a tweed jacket, with its more classic feel, pairs especially well with tailored trousers for office looks, similar to a blazer but with a distinctive touch thanks to the cropped length. The cropped trench coat, with its built-in belt, allows for a more fitted look at the waist, ideal for transitional weather looks where the goal is to define the silhouette.
Available sizes
Several models, such as the brown leather jacket with lapels, are also available in larger sizes within the Plus Sizes range, expanding the size range of this cropped selection.
