K/R: Gap bright knit blazer

After Angie's post on denim column with bright I have decided to try these Gap blazers and ordered them in all available colors.
Now I cannot make up my mind which one to keep!!! I like the pink one the least but I equally love red and green ones. Currently I don't have any bright colored jacket at all.
Please help me - which color should I choose or are they all hideous on me?
I want to return them tomorrow so I need to make up my mind today.
Thanks for your hep!

Sveta,
You look good in ALL of them. I love the green the best though followed by the warm pink and then the red. You can wear any and all of them!

I like the green one best, I somehow feel like the color is fresher than red for a blazer. Although the red looks good too. I agree about returning the pink one.

Green!

Sveta, they are both fab on you. Do you have a red blazer? The green is much more unique. If you can't decide, keep both. I agree the pink doesn't suit you as well.

RED RED RED!!! It will work best with your current wardrobe and it looks phenomenal on you!! (full disclosure: I have a bit of a poison eye for pastel greens!).

I like the red on you the best! However, if you already have a red jacket, go for the green.

I really like the green too (obviously, I just bought one). It really says "spring" to me. Red is always a classic, just not a fresh looking to my eye. And no you don't look hideous in any of them. Bad Sveta!

I'm gonna be the odd one out and say that I think these colors kind of wash you out. Maybe a scarf would help, but then it wouldn't feel as spring-y. *ducks*

I am sort of with Rae in thinking that none of these colours is your absolute best...but I also know that it is amazing what the right top and a little lipstick might do. So I ALSO think that any of them could work, with the right styling, and could work extremely well. The fit is terrific on this; it looks much better in the pics than Gap's usual quality. (I notice Amy mentioned that this is a good quality item, too.)

I'm not much help, I know.

I like the red on you, and I can imagine it with other things that you already have. (That is the way I would make this decision.)

Green! I adore this green on you!

I have to echo Rae and say that none of these is striking me as your best colors. Of the three, I think the red is the best, but I still think you can do better.

What Suz said. They all may be a bit too bright, but maybe your red lipstick would fix that. Love the fit. If I had to chose one, it would be the red.

Well, I like them ALL on you! The red looks very you, but the others are great too.

I love the red on you because it's the most classic and will work with other things in your wardrobe. It looks amazing with the leopard shoes, BTW. I don't like the pink as much as the red and the green.

None of the above, I think they are all too bright for you Sveta. These colors are spring and you look like a autumn to me, in all of these pictures I see color first and then you, I think it should be other way around, don't you think?

The red is my choice, by a mile.

That colour makes me cry I love it so much.

I vote red because I want one myself!

Thank you for trying these, I really want one too. I was hoping the red was more orange (it isn't) My store only has the pink. I do like the green but for me I think you look best in the red. Of course a well placed scarf will eliminate any coloring issues others have discussed so maybe that would help you decide? I like the fit.

I am going to say before reading the others: green and then red. You look glowing in the green.

Thank you for your help. I have already returned the pink one today and I leaning towards keeping the green one (with Angie's blessing) I have already tried it with a striped white and navy tank and white bermudas and really liked how it all works together.
I don't know if I got a odd one or they all like this but red blazer fits smaller than the green and the pink even though they are the same size. Red blazer is almost 1 cm shorter in the shoulder - isn't it weird?
Oh and this red one is exactly the same color as my Chromia red bag. Jjsloane, it does have a lot of orange in it, it is a very warm orange-y red.

Yay - I liked the green the best, actually, against your skin! And I LOVE it with that shade of denim you're wearing! Your legs look a mile long with the proportions of the jacket and your flares!

#2 would be red, but that's a pretty dominant red for you

#3 would be pink, but glad you returned it!

I was also a little concerned that the color washes you out, but between the two I would have voted keep green for the fun factor.

I really like the green on you Sveta, followed by the red. I am not sure the pink is right for you. Keep the green

I love the green on you- so fresh and makes me think of Spring x

I love the green! I don't see the clash between it and your coloring that others seem to see. I am in no way an expert on coloring, though. The red is also lovely but quite strong and more expected (if a bright blazer can be expected!). I think you are right to keep the green one.

I love these on you! I tried the green one on in store yesterday but didn't care for the color on me. It looks great on you! I plan to get the pink one. I love knit blazers... so comfy, yet chic! Love it.
