And so nice to&nbsp;meet you all here!&nbsp;</p> <p>It is actually mostly&nbsp;the colour I have a problem with. I have a black leather blazer as well and it is one of my favourites, so the leather and the structure is not the problem.&nbsp;I&nbsp;have now&nbsp;pulled out a number of scarves from my closet and tried with many different colours, including some red-burgundy-pink combinations. It looks quite nice with dark brown pants,&nbsp;but also with a dark warm grey blouse and&nbsp;pants in&nbsp;a similar shade&nbsp;- for me an unexpected combo.&nbsp;I&nbsp;will work&nbsp;on it&nbsp;further&nbsp;and see what feels the best. And then start wearing it to get used to&nbsp;the new colours&nbsp;...</p> <p>Marilyn, what&nbsp;a lovely jacket!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863563 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 00:55:10 +0000 Aida 1863563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like to wear my bright/rich jackets with similarly bright/rich colors: either tonally (with other reds, oranges, pinks, burgundy, rust, etc.), with mostly white, or with white+something dark for high contrast. For a column-of-color with a red/red-orange jacket I would opt for white, gray, tan, or navy; or go with a graphic black+white.</p> <p>EDIT: If the color itself isn't one that loves you that's a bit trickier. The easiest option there would be to add a scarf with colors that are flattering but that definitely limits the jacket's wearability.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863555 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 00:35:36 +0000 Marilyn 1863555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Violettt</b>......My burgundy blazer is from Banana Republic.&nbsp; It's not a plush velvet but it's nice just the same.&nbsp; Classic fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863503 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 18:10:47 +0000 Zibbets 1863503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over a column of color with a patterned scarf to tie it all together, or over a dress that has multiple colors, including the jacket color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863502 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 18:08:20 +0000 kkards 1863502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>is it the color, the length or the leather that is throwing you off?</p> <p>if its the color, then you may never come to truly love it... try to over a column of colors as others have suggested...especially white or cream</p> <p>if its the length (which is what usually trips me up) try experimenting with different bottoms.</p> <p>if its the leather, try softening it up with less structured fabrics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863493 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 17:19:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1863493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boldly. You should wear it boldly. Unless you don’t wear it at all because the color doesn’t suit you. </p> <p>How about a tonal outfit of beige and chocolate brown or similar? Then you’ll look lovely with or without the jacket. If it seriously isn’t a good color for you, wear a scarf of some sort around your neck, so that’s between your face &amp; the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863489 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 16:48:46 +0000 Violettt 1863489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Marilyn! &nbsp;I just love velvet blazers! &nbsp;Maybe they remind me of the Louis IX, XII reign and how they wore much velvet, I think they are splendid. Your burgundy velvet blazer sounds lucious. Where did you buy it? &nbsp;I had one years ago, (too small now after kiddos) and would actually love to find one now.

Wear it with a denim skirt. Maybe a striped tee. You could also wear it with brown or white bottoms. Maybe this jacket will take you in a new direction.<br /> If you wear it with black, use Angie's trick and make the outfit less harsh with a good sized amount of white and maybe adding a third color, like a blue or aqua bag and scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863447 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 12:58:12 +0000 unfrumped 1863447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it could be a problem if the jacket is not a good color for you in the first place, because it’s goung to be near your face.<br /> You can “ compensate” by wearing s top in a “ best color” that’s acceptable with the jacket. Another good strategy is to find a scarf you LOVE that has just a bit of jacket color plus your other good colors, and generally wear that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863445 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 12:49:23 +0000 Katerina 1863445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sterling! </p> <p>I wear a lot of black, but also beige,&nbsp;chocolate brown and white.&nbsp;Do not wear jeans, prefare&nbsp;trousers or skirts. The red/orange is unfortunately a colour which does not love me back and the combination with black seems rather harsh. The blazer, though, is lovely -&nbsp;very luxurious &nbsp;and I got it for a true&nbsp;bargain price.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863441 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 12:12:52 +0000 Anonymous 1863441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a base of neutrals, like black or denim?&nbsp; I would let the leather blazer be the show stopper and keep everything else low key.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-bright-leather-blazer#post-1863440 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 12:09:12 +0000 Katerina 1863440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some time ago I purchased a red (almost orange) leather blazer.
