Leather jacket... Which colour

35 replies

After years of wanting a leather jacket I've finally decided to buy one. I'm not sure what colour though... I think I can look washed out in black but black is much more classic. I've seen this one in Zara - does it look like a style that I could wear for years to come? I'm big busted so intend to wear it open. I'd need a massive size if I wanted to wear it done up

Heh that does help a bit! Is that Oasis one a recent buy?

Got the Oasis one in the summer at mega-sale price. Mine might not be exactly the same as the current one but it's a v close call. I absolutely love it and avoid aged goth look by wearing it with a soft scarf (v mum uniform I guess, but I can live with that!).

Thanks again for all the advice! I tried to find the Zara one but they didn't have it in store so went to House of Fraser and ended up getting this dark grey one. I did try a black one on but it didn't suit me at all, and I tried a graphite Mint Velvet one too but it wasn't quite right. The Gray & Willow one is more than I wanted to spend but it's lovely, soft leather. My only worry is that it's a bit plain. I might have preferred some more interesting details.
I might also keep an eye on ebay to see if I can find a cheap muubaa one in a lighter colour Smile

I like that very much - great colour. Personally I think plain is good. Hope you enjoy it.

HolgerDanske · 11/10/2015 17:50

I love it and I think the style is perfect - plain is classic and will be timeless.

It's lovely!

I really like how the model has it paired with other shades of grey too, it looks great.

The TK Maxx website has some Brampton London ones. I have some of their bags and the leather is gorgeous and gets better with more wear. Thinking of treating myself!

Really like the one you bought OP, much nicer colour than the Zara one.

Dark grey much nicer than black IMO
