To me, the lighter jacket looks like it'd work for spring/fall, and the dark in fall/winter. I think they are different enough to warrant keeping both IF you really love it and think you'll wear often </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383236 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:11:24 +0000 Sveta 383236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we should see them on to decide. Both colors are good, you should play in your closet and see which one works better for you. I don't mind wearing light colors in winter - they cheer me up so I would wear the light one if it is warm enough.<br /> I would not buy both because I would like to have room for another gorgeous jacket in a different style for variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383212 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:29:56 +0000 Anonymous 383212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can also see why you have a hard time deciding and see nothing wrong with keeping both when you find a great style and fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383200 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:17:04 +0000 MsMaven 383200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My own preference would be the darker one. I have a leather jacket close to that color that I bought at the NAS in 2003 and still have. It goes with almost everything I have. It travels well and is only getting a tiny bit worn. </p> <p>I know if I bought both jackets I'd wear the darker one ten times more than the lighter. To a certain degree it depends on your wardrobe--which one will mix with the most outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383193 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:11:58 +0000 cjh 383193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lighter one seems more feminine to me and could be worn with lots of girly prints, even with work wear. I'm sorry I don't remember your usual style. Can you try these with some outfits and post photos to help us out? They are both very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383186 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:01:02 +0000 Astrid 383186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lighter one better! </p> <p>I personally wouldn't buy both. The reasoning about the full price being even higher than the price of the two jackets combined sounds familiar to me! BUT if you don't have that much money to spend at the moment it's even better to think about the way you could invest the 30€ if you don't spend it on the second jacket. I'm sure you can think of something. Even more so because you don't really know yet if you will love this style of jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383184 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:58:32 +0000 rae 383184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see them on you? I always find it helpful to see what garments do next to my skin tone. </p> <p>Aside from that, if you would have bought at full price, and can afford it, and aren't duplicating with either one, no problem keeping both (it is a good deal, after all). I'm even thinking the lighter one would look pretty rad with denim in the spring... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383174 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:44:53 +0000 MNsara 383174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes - they are both very cute and its not just the color difference - the finishes are so different too! No wonder you can't decide :-\</p> <p>I'm no help because I'm one that would keep both. Then maybe next spring I'd see that I chose one to wear more than the other. But I can't figure that out ahead of time. . . !</p> <p>Love their style for you too! I think the lighter one is less predictable (so that's good), but I totally agree on the darker color bring super practical (that's good too!)</p> <p>See, no help. . . so keep both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383173 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:44:50 +0000 DressLover 383173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm notorious for buying the same thing in different colors if I am in love with the item. I don't think it would be crazy to keep both if it is a perfect piece for you. I think camel/tan, chocolate brown, and black are three must-have basic foundation colors because they each do something different for an outfit.</p> <p>How long is the return window? If you can, test drive one and leave the tags on the other. (If it is too hot to wear outside, at least wear it around the house for a little.) See how you feel about it and if it is something you can see wearing frequently, keep both. If not, keep the one you test drove and return the other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-two-shades-of-brown#post-383168 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 18:38:06 +0000 Irene 383168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! Today I bought the same leather jacket twice (it was from 70 to 30 euros, so it's really a bargain), in two different shades of brown. I couldn't really decide at the shop, so I bought both of them thinking mum would help me pick one and tomorrow I could return the other one -it's the first time I've ever done this, promise. So I get home, show my mum, and she can't actually help me because she likes both of them equally. I think the lighter brown would suit my general wardrobe better because I can wear it with both dark brown and black (I'm thinking of my shoes here). BUT the darker one would suffer less from weather conditions and it's so cozy and wintery! The other one looks more like for fall. </p> <p>I don't own any leather jacket, but I do own three coats already (one in camel, another one in black and another one in grey), plus a mid-season more sporty coat, so I'm really not lacking winter topers right now. I wanted a leather jacket -short one, those that hit the hips- because they are more casual and sporty -and young- than my usual wool coats -which I totally love too, and since this one was super cheap and fit me like a glove -I don't have much luck with short tops, so I'm totally going out of my comfort zone here. </p> <p>So let's see the photos. </p> <p>The browns are a bit darker IRL</p> <p>You can tell me you don't like either too :)</p> <p>PS: Would it be crazy if I kept the two? lol I'm not surrounded by money right now, so I don't know... still I'd have bought it at full price if I had found it before, and the two of them together don't even get to the original price... but I've never tried this style before, so idk if it will work for me? arghhh </p>
