It is the color I can imagine you in. Black, not so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725468 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:22:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 725468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My gut reaction says red for you Ramya - it's a fun, vibrant colour and sounds like it will play nicely with the rest of your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725461 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:19:43 +0000 Ingunn 725461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries about the interview, Ramya. This is Norway, remember? The others will most likely be wearing hoodies, jeans and sneakers - hahaha! Seriously: You will stand out in a positive way in a red blazer, believe me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725321 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:30:39 +0000 crazyone 725321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hold off and buy one in ink blue. It'll go better with your colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725318 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:28:10 +0000 Gaylene 725318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you see the blazers at an H&amp;M store. I've found that different colors sometimes use different fabrications and that the shade can have quite an effect on the apparent quality of the jacket. Beige is usually a more difficult colour to get right than black or red.</p> <p>Having said that, I'd go with whatever color works best with the items that you'd like to pair with the jacket. I often opt for black because it can look like a more expensive piece, but, if the shades are good, having a flattering color next to your face is never a bad idea, especially at a job interview. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725223 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:39:13 +0000 kimlee 725223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for red as a first choice and then black. I think that a red blazer could work for a job interview (I wore a coral one to my job interview) if you keep the other elements of the look simple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725209 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:27:41 +0000 Makrame 725209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually find that black jackets are the least versatile for me. I have dark hair so black sometimes looks "too dark" next to my face (I have to find bright tops to wear with it). I also have mostly black work pants (other than jeans) so it is hard to find what to wear with black jackets without looking like it is an ill-matching suit.</p> <p>I don't know if any of those things are a consideration for you, just wanted to share my experience. Unfortunately, you don't have two other good options: navy or charcoal (I find those to be the best as all-purpose colors). I am not sure about the red in any type of formal situation (even though it would probably look fab on you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725201 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:16:45 +0000 ramya 725201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah I would like to buy both too but then got to go for 1 now :(...<br /> Red is hot fav now but I am worried about Ornella's point of interview :(...<br /> Sooooooo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725187 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:03:50 +0000 sarah 725187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote red, first, then black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725175 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:42:21 +0000 missvee 725175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like colour, then go for the red. Check out Angie's post today - don't those colours look wonderful together? You can always add a neutral with your jeans or trousers. It's a cute blazer by the way and should look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725160 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:21:44 +0000 Ingunn 725160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would consder which tops to wear it with before deciding on a color. Black is safe, but might be more boring. If at least three or four of your tops match the red one, why not start there? Follow your heart:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725153 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:02:11 +0000 ramya 725153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly I have not seen the red in store :(<br /> But will go again and check... Thanks Suz </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725152 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:52:40 +0000 Suz 725152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you try them on in person? Or try them on for us (with pics)? If trying on in the store, bring a couple of your favourite shirts to wear while trying on. If at home, well, the sky is your limit - try to style them with your other things. </p> <p>I was thinking what Ornella was, that red might really pick you up this year. And if you wear denim bottoms at all, then red will work with them well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725131 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:45:24 +0000 Ornella 725131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any color but beige would work for you. I think beige would wash you out.</p> <p>What color tops would you wear the blazer with? And in which circumstances? Black sounds like the most versatile option - it will take you anywhere, from casual to more formal occasions, depending on the rest of the outfit.</p> <p>Red *is* a neutral as MaryK says and sounds like it would fit with your existing wardrobe nicely, but I'm only reserved because it is very vibrant... I'm thinking a job interview or something else very formal, where conservative options are safer.</p> <p>Having said all this, it also occurred to me that red might actually be better choice for YOU simply because it's warm and you might need some "wardrobe mood enhancers" in your first Norwegian winter... just a thought.</p> <p>See, I'm no help at al </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725125 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:35:47 +0000 Astrid 725125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think black would be the better neutral at first glance, but I really like the red as an addition to the colors you described. I just like color, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-to-buy-my-first-blazer-colors-that-i-should-buy#post-725111 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:54:34 +0000 MsMary 725111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red one!
