Which jacket should I keep?

I have both these but don't know which to keep. I prefer the suede but the blazer looks more chic. I'll use the suede with more outfits like longer dresses & skirts - (the blazer looks odd on me with long stuff but minis are fine). My head is saying no to the suede due to how much it rains here.

I don't know!! Help

Is there a reason you can't keep both, if you like both, and wear both?

They are both lovely but very different so it's difficult to say.
Agree with @Seas164, if you can afford it, could you keep both? An early Christmas present perhaps?
If not, keep the one you'd wear with the most outfits.

Love the brown leather! Not fussed on the style of the suede.

Yes they are so different which is another reason I need help deciding.

It's a luxury to keep both, it won't have a major impact like not being able to pay bills, but will just make me feel uncomfortable as I tend to usually have just one of things. I have a trench coat so this will be my 'second' autumn/spring/cooler summer jackets.

Hard to say, can you take a photo of you wearing both (face not in shot, obviously), they look totally different shapes.

Don't ever keep anything which you aren't sure about or you think looks a bit odd on you - you'll never get enough wear from it.

It's only a couple dresses/skirts I won't wear the brown leather with.
The wet weather is making me think I probably won't reach for the suede a lot as I don't want it to get water marks....although I guess I can make sure to ALWAYS have my umbrella with me!!

I don’t like the leather at all.

I like the suede one much more. I had a black leather one like that in the late 90s and I always felt weird in it then.

canyon2000 · 09/09/2024 17:25

I love the suede but it is so impractical. I would keep the leather.

fitflopqueen · 09/09/2024 17:32

First one is lovely, regardless of weather

Seas164 · 09/09/2024 21:16

Ahh got you, I for some reason thought you already owned both and wanted to get rid of one, sorry! In that case the suede definitely, but only if you'll wear it! If not send both back and start again.

I LOVE the suede one!

No I don't either. The suede is far nicer.
