I am buying a Didriksons Erika parka. I am aware that this is school mum territory and not a catwalk piece. But would like to maximize the style factor as much as poss! (if that is at all poss)

But do I go for the Rioja Red or the Deep Green? I've lost the ability to make the small decisions in life, please help Mumsnet!

I have dark hair, pale skin and I have "deep autumn" colouring. TIA

By the way, the red is a more muted burgundy in real life than the picture here.

I’d go for the black if you really need to buy it.

I'd go for the red. I have it in dark blue and it's a brilliant coat.

Argh, now don't start throwing black into the mix! I do like the black too.
Thanks for the responses!

And I do need to buy it, spend half my life trekking round in the rain.

I'd go for the red. I have a dark chestnut brown coat and love the warm colour of it compared to my other recent black and charcoal grey coats.

Don't get black, everyone has it, it's so depressing! Either of these will be nice, or the blue, or basically any colour!

I do like the red, but as it’s £25 more and I also like the green, I’d probably get that!

The red/burgundy.

Bit more unusual & more flattering than black with your skin tone. Also goes well with denim, navy and black trousers so won’t look weird.

I have a burnt red colour coat & always get compliments for it being unusual & not just the typical practical coat colours.

Red or blue.

I like the green.

I’d usually say the khaki because it is lovely too and one of my favourite colours. But in this case I’m going to say burgundy because it’s a lovely and very versatile colour which will add a nice bit of interest to your outfits.

I like the red.

Either is nice. Not black. I'd go for khaki but the red is nice too.

The red one is lovely.

I'd choose the blue, think the burgundy looks a bit mumsy. Although if your going to wear it every day and a colour would cheer your day up, go for the burgundy.

Red

Red, red, red. And red 😀.

Thank you everyone!! I do like the red in the pictures but as I said, I real life it is more of a muted pinky red than a deep maroon (sadly). So @slightlysnippy I know exactly what you mean!

I'll let you know what I decide as I know you'll all be on the edge of your seats until you find out.

I’d get the green as it’s a neutral colour. Burgandy reminds me of school uniforms and I avoid it.

But… in order to be helpful with your colour choice, you will have to say what colours you usually wear? If you wear tan boots, the red won’t particularly suit them. If you wear dark brown boots, the red will look good. If you wear lots of light neutral colours, the green will look great.

If you don’t love the red don’t buy it. You won’t use it, or at least you won’t enjoy using it. The khaki is a great colour too.

I'd go green

@Dancingonmoonlight I usually wear warm, dark colours - red, orange, dark green, chocolate brown, dark teal, leopard print. Black or navy trousers with beige trainers or dark brown/camel/black boots.

Red is a bit Hayley from coronation street.

This sort of look
