Cropped jackets and blazers are a mainstay, especially since they tend to be fairly figure flattering. What’s new with this designer fashion is the uber cropped jacket that hits above the natural waist. While they’re not as warm as full length jackets, they’re ripe with possibility for layering. Plus this fashion trend for 2009, they’re great for long waisted women, as they visually shorten your torso and lengthens your leg line.

Uber Cropped Jackets at Karen Walker, Jeremy Laing, and Shipley & Halmos.

The name of the game this Spring is laid back and casual. Hot trends like the boyfriend jeans and ripped jeans are taking over as the go-to style of the season. Both casual styles can be worn with a cropped blazer or boyfriend jacket.
