I wear my gray accessories out because of their versatility, I also find that some black fabrics don't play nicely with other black fabrics, making an outfit less stylish. Gray seems more flexible that way. I hope your new jacket works out. Could be a real workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204843 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:41:27 +0000 texstyle 1204843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204387 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:23:12 +0000 Golden 1204387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it is almost spring you should go with gray </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204337 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:45:32 +0000 catgirl 1204337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey!&nbsp; Black is good but not when it's a default, as it often is for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204309 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:18:22 +0000 gryffin 1204309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both.&nbsp; The gray looks like a nice charcoal.&nbsp; Is one color better with your coloring?&nbsp; Do you have a lot of black and need to break it up?&nbsp; I like the weave and shading of the gray and this comes from a girl who wears a lot of black.&nbsp; What does your gut tell you?&nbsp; I think both would be awesome.&nbsp; Nice jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204301 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:13:41 +0000 Kat 1204301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey too! &nbsp;The texture of the piece comes across. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204300 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:12:23 +0000 Anonymous 1204300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad that you went for the grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204293 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:07:11 +0000 Gigi 1204293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For whatever reason, I like the look and texture of the gray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204277 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 01:40:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1204277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey too. Oddly, I've found grey outerwear more versatile than black sometimes. I think it's because grey can look intentional but black is just basic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204220 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 00:57:02 +0000 Angie 1204220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote grey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204197 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 23:59:06 +0000 Thistle 1204197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black better. It is more traditional for a moto jacket, and I feel like black is dressier. If you love the style, I would add a grey later. </p> <p>I am speaking with a personal experience bias on this, though. I ordered one in black and grey and returned the grey. I am considering a white one for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204196 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 23:58:22 +0000 Mander 1204196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey it is, then!&nbsp; And whaddya know, it was actually slightly cheaper than the black one.</p> <p>Now to just wait patiently for it to arrive... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204195 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 23:58:07 +0000 Suja 1204195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gray doesn't remind me of sweatshirts at all. &nbsp;I would go with the gray for the reasons you describe, goes with everything and doesn't fade as fast as black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204192 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 23:54:16 +0000 Kristin L 1204192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark gray as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204168 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 23:18:44 +0000 columbine(erin) 1204168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking, if it looked heathered, it might look like a sweatshirt.

I was thinking the same thing with the color, although my usual inclination is toward black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204147 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 22:53:06 +0000 Deborah 1204147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander is the jacket a ponte?&nbsp; In the pictures the grey looks like a nicer jacket.&nbsp; I know they are the same but sometimes the colour can make all the difference.&nbsp; The black one looks a tad 'cheap' in the photo.&nbsp; The grey looks really classy.&nbsp; I also like how the grey one hightlights the front pocket zips along with the main front zipper.&nbsp; Definitely the grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204143 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 22:47:02 +0000 rachylou 1204143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of you as liking more "dressed" looks, Mander... so am inclined toward the black... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-or-grey#post-1204132 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 22:30:47 +0000 Mander 1204132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been coveting a knit biker jacket for a long time, but I have yet to find one in the right size and price.&nbsp; However, I have found this one, on sale (!), and I think I'm going to go ahead and order it.&nbsp; The only question is, black or grey?</p> <p>Black: I wear a lot of black, it goes with everything. But on the other hand it is susceptible to fading, lint, etc. and it is probably actually fairly harsh on me.</p> <p>Grey: I've been wearing a lot more of it recently, and it also goes with everything. It can look too much like a sweatshirt. But fading is less obvious with something grey.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
