Off for a night out Friday, which jacket am I wearing? Don't want to buy a new one so it has to be one of these 2, only other option is a short black biker jacket

The lighter jacket looks really good

You don’t say where you are going and I am assuming you are wearing the entire outfit in the picture so the lighter jacket looks great

Idontjetwashthefucker · 16/09/2026 22:19

Just out for food and drinks, food market type place, pretty casual. Pics aren't great but the jeans are mid to dark blue, navy t, lighter jacket is actually a dark cream, and the trainers are beige with light pink stripes. Was debating a white t but I don't think that would look good with the light jacket...but it would with the green.

Describe the biker jacket …

Love the lighter jacket

MerylSqueak · 16/09/2026 22:47

Lighter

Biker jacket, but I personally really don’t like the blazer trend (the green one is daytime only imho)

I'd go for a fitted biker jacket because everything is 2 oversized u need to balance the outfit .

The outfit in the lighter jacket looks great!

Yeah i was wondering if everything just looked a bit too baggy...first time I've worn barrel jeans so wasn't sure what to put with them

They both look too baggy. The cream jacket cuts you in half in an awkward place against the dark trousers. I can’t really see the green one well. Is it very casual? You need a more fitted jacket with those loose trousers. Or can you change the trousers?

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 17/09/2026 09:19

Another biker jacket fan here. But then that's more my style 😂

Other than that I personally think the lighter one if your trainers are pink/beige.

U could even wear a trench with the belt belted at the back so it looks fitted at the waist then left open x

I'm defo wearing the trousers, I'm experimenting with different clothes and really like these. I'll try with the biker jacket later and post a pic.

The other option is no jacket but then I wouldn't know what top to wear 🙈

Lighter one looks really nice. The fact the jacket is more boxy balances the proportions - the green one is too unstructured and tonally similar, so it swamps you a bit. A biker jacket would work as well.

Sakura7 · 17/09/2026 09:38

Both are absolutely fine for the night out you're describing, and I'd choose the lighter one. I don't think it's too baggy, that's the style now.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 17/09/2026 09:41

Thanks all, I'll post a pic later in the biker, most votes wins 😊

Cropped or shorter jackets are better with barrel legs, especially if it's not a style you're used to and comfortable wearing. The baggier blazer (light one) is nice but I think your trousers need to be longer to pull that look off. Do you have any alternative shoe choices? Baggy blazer, barrel jeans and (Mary Jane) ballet flats can work.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 18/09/2026 17:06

With the biker jacket

Which jacket?

Nice, and does work, OP, but I think I still prefer the cream blazer?

The shoes are totally fine, but if you have a slightly less chunky trainer, or some ballet flats/MJs, as someone suggested upthread, they’d look good with the jeans.

Have a great night!

I'm only 5 foot lol, the chunky trainers stay 😆.

I think I'll stick with the biker, it's lashing it down and windy, think it'll keep me drier than the blazer

Of those two, the cream one is better. But I would wear a jacket that came to the waist.

Madamecholetsbonnet · 18/09/2026 17:48

The lighter one definitely.
