Cropped Jackets............In or out?!

I am a huge fan of the cropped styled jacket, whether as outerwear or a blazer. I am a petite woman, but I have hips so cropped jackets are great for me to show off my shape. I can't mention what magazine, but it was sometime last year and they were discussing what you should keep in your closet and what you should let go of and one of the items to let go of was the Cropped Jacket. I couldn't understand why, I think that they are so stylish and chic! Whether worn with jeans/slacks, skirts/dresses, I believe they will always be in style. My proof being, the runways of Fashion Week in NY; Burberry Prorsum and Matthew Williamson's Fall 2010 showed the cropped jacket on the runway. Burberry had the Leather cropped jackets stopping right at the waist, you also see one tat is cinched in more to give more shape, and one was shorter in length ending right at the mid section, they included high collars as well. Matthew Williamson showed the cropped jacket too, more detailed in the cut for one of them, including embellishments, color being a rich blue. Lastly, Matthew Williamson had a Grey suede cropped jacket ending right under the breast with half length sleeves. You can see these looks and the rest of the photos of the show at www.style.com
