I would think so. It's mostly blue with little yellow.

It looks black in the photo. Is it bottle in real life? I am very cool-toned and wear a lot of bottle green as a neutral. I now need a bottle green biker for the autumn.

Looks fine. I'd wear it.
Anyrhing bottle green or emerald. Some darker bluey khaki.
Only avoid very yellowy greens like lime.

Also, what colours of tops will go with this jacket?

This is the first time I'll have this colour.

Thanks in advance!

As I mentioned before, I see bottle green as a neutral - a brilliant one for cool tones - I'm really impressed with your choice.
I find bottle lets me have flashes of bright that don't normally work in large amounts - burnt orange and cobalt blue for example.
That jacket will go with so much, you'll be surprised.
Balenciaga is out of my price range sadly so will have to investigate All Saints etc. for thriftier options .
I did not know how much I needed a bottle biker. I blame you for this DrowningEveryDay. You have influenced me badly Wink

And you might hate me when you find out how much I got the jacket! :P (It's preloved, yes, but still)

Yay indeed! Post some ideas/options you have in mind. Have pulled my back out and am prone on bed Mnetting so need a little joy in my life - it might stop me spending £180 on a salad bowl - s'not even bottle green!

Cost per wear though? Pennies? Probably work out almost free.
This is when I go slipperslopesville. Bye bye new much-needed car, hello lovely jacket.

I got it (preloved but good condition - I'll find out when it arrives, but it looks like it) for probably the same amount as a new All Saints.

I mostly wear white, black, white/black stripe, blue-based pink, and rarely cobalt.

Yep - practically free then. With the money you have saved, I feel like treating myself! That is the bizarre way my mind works and why I have umpteen coats but a crap car.
You'll look amazing in that jacket.
Are you cool-toned blonde or brunette?

I'm cool-toned with black hair (well I dyed it black).

I bought some cobalt ankle-skimmers last year - they looked heinous until I pared them with a bottle-green cashmere crew neck - nothing mega-spendy just M and S. It's amazing how bottle green can elevate an outfit and make it look so much more chic. Well, IMO.

With black hair you can afford to make some bold colour choices to go with the bottle green. You will look fabulous.

I hope so! I'll mainly wear it with black, white, b/w stripe, and pink!

I wouldn't - it won't not work IYSWIM but it ain't the bottle. You will not wear it anywhere near as much. It's nice but not wow.

We are clearly a thread of two. It would be good to get other opinions but I do know the bottle is great.

Yum, delicious jacket. I am cool-toned and love my bottle green biker jacket - sadly mine was £40 from Tesco 3 years ago! But I love it and will wear it to death or until I can afford a proper leather one. I love wearing it with a sage or a real scarf, but bottle green seems to go with everything (maybe bar some reds).
