NL - don’t like the back of the Zara one, trying too hard and failing.

Definitely the New Look. I think the chore coat shape is more current. The Zara one looks more like one I wore 10/15 years ago.

Same here. The New Look one's more overtly "Japanese work jacket" or whatever this style is actually called. The Zara one can't make up its mind whether it's a traditional denim jacket, a shirt, or a patch-pocketed artisan's overgarment.

I think the NL one would've been improved with ungathered cuffs, but I'm being a tedious purist.

Zara

New Look

They both look like shirts to me.

With that said if you're in need of a denim jacket and you're willing to look elsewhere... I LOVE my M&S one!

I have this one in cream. It’s gorgeous and goes well with all my summer clothes 😍

abracadabra1980 · 17/05/2025 09:56

Both ok, but I'm without doubt older than you and the ONLY denim jacket you ever invested in was a Levi's one 😊

StScholastica · 17/05/2025 09:57

I really like the NL one.

This, there should be no other denim jackets allowed!!!!

50 here and just ordered a levi denim shirt, arrives today can't wait 💞

DuchessOfNarcissex · 17/05/2025 11:56

It's probably why I picked the Zara one (khaki). The faded stonewash is not to my taste at all.

Bumblebeeyouandme · 17/05/2025 12:18

Well I’m even more confused and undecided now 🤣

I’m not really looking for a classic denim jacket as I already have one, I have a khaki jacket also.

Looking for more of a shacket.

I prefer the length of the New Look one but the colour of the Zara one.

Get the New Look one.

Italiangreyhound · 17/05/2025 23:19

New look one.

WinterFoxes · 18/05/2025 06:39

I prefer the cut of the NL one. I really like it. Might have to get it.

DuchessOfNarcissex · 18/05/2025 10:45

It's a lot of money for a shapeless not-shirt-not-jacket. Looks quite nice in the olive colour but not the others.

scotvic · 18/05/2025 17:44

The New Look one is better, or go for a more traditional design. The Zara one is neither here nor there.

Irismarle · 18/05/2025 19:18

I also prefer the NL one.

I have a very similar one bought from M&S about 3 or 4 years ago, also in light denim blue and of longer length. I’ve found it extremely useful both over skirts and trousers and I’ve worn it a lot. Very good with white jeans, for example.

canyouseemyhousefromhere · 18/05/2025 19:57

Not keen on either as I prefer denim jackets to end at the waist.

Slightly prefer the second one.

cloudbusting123 · 18/05/2025 20:02

I love the new look one and I’m usually in camp Zara!

mondaytosunday · 18/05/2025 20:11

Zara. The other one looks more like a utility work jacket. Not a fan of the elongated denim jackets as a whole however.

Frillysweetpea · 18/05/2025 20:12

It depends on your size and shape. I wouldn't wear either as I am tall, big boobed and apple shaped so need flowing, drapey or semi tailored styles to not look like a cart horse. If you look like the models you can get away with either.

FagsMagsandBags · 18/05/2025 22:38

I prefer the Zara one. It showed up in black which I prefered the stitching on but that's me, not you. I think given that you're into the paler denim, my Zara preference is minimal enough to say, either and go with your gut.

Snakebite61 · 19/05/2025 11:43

Deffo the Zara one.

Missj25 · 31/05/2025 22:43

Oldermum84 · 15/05/2025 09:08

I prefer the Zara one. But I'm not "trendy" so probably the other one is more "in" 😂

I prefer the Zara one also 😊
