Because your happy look or color is what it is. But I like the turqoise better than the yellow. It seems like a better color for your coloring though we've not seen a comparison. The yellow to me reminds me of utility worker jackets and firemen. It totally dominates the outfit, although that is what you might want. I think turquoise is springy and more versatile. It can go with warm or cool colors. You can add bits of yellow. Turquise over a column of black is fresher than yellow, actually. Then of course with white it's totally light and fresh. Can wear with red, weirdly enough, especially with bridging colors or patterns. Yellow does read bumblebee to me even in softer iterations so I have to admit poison eye for that even though there are some combinations that work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-860925 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:08:47 +0000 T-Rex 860925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kalli, I seem to recall that navy blue is or was a traditional spring color. I also think of it as a summer color when it is combined with white, yellow, or red. I think it's all those nautical themed collections that make me think that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859345 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:21:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 859345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Julie :)</p> <p>Rae &amp; Dianthus - you are very VERY convincing! Might have to pop in there again and try it on and see if I can get some pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859339 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:19:10 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 859339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YELLOW!!!</p> <p>If it had been a brighter yellow, then the bumble bee issues would be a factor (although we often use nature to inspire color schemes) but this is a soft butter yellow. I think it is lovely and very close to neutral.</p> <p>Yellow also looks good on you. I think the hair color works with it because grey and yellow are a perfect pairing in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859337 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:17:29 +0000 RoseandJoan 859337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're not driving us nuts these are big purchases Shannon and deserve your thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859330 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:12:20 +0000 rae 859330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue or yellow would Spring-ify whatever you wear the jacket over. Purple would compliment Spring colors, but would not be inherently Spring-y, because it still is a pretty dark shade. </p> <p>Personally, I think you would get more use out of the yellow than the blue... it just seems more harmonious with your blacks, optic whites, oranges, cognacs, and grays when I picture it in my mind. I don't feel like I see you in many cool brights like turquoise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859317 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:05:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 859317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well aren't you all a bunch of smarty pants (with good memories)! Yes, I do have a purple leather jacket already - my more ornate one, that is more of a plum/mauve colour but still in the purple family. I actually haven't worn it much this year...mmmmm...wonder why that is.</p> <p>Anyway, I think I'm leaning towards either the turquoise or the yellow of the first style. And I think I can wear yellow, and love it paired with white as per the photo below.</p> <p>More thinking to do...hope I'm not driving you all nuts!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859230 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:58:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 859230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo the yolky yellow colour is divine Shannon, think of denim, creams, browns and greys no bumble bees for miles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859222 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:55:22 +0000 RoseandJoan 859222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple is definitely spring appropriate, just think of it with citron, powder blue or leaf green accents transitioning into fall with a dose of gold and chocolate brown.</p> <p>I also think this jacket is different enough from your more ornate purple leather jacket to not be a duplicate.</p> <p>But I'm now going to check out the yellow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859219 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:54:30 +0000 Anonymous 859219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure why but turquoise always screams Summer to me along with yellow. Am I dreaming or you have a purple leather jacket already?</p> <p>Out of the two, I like the second style better for you as it is more cropped. I think that particular length would look really good on you. Out of the two color choices I choose turquoise. Most people wear all colors all year long.</p> <p>ETA: LOL, we are totally stalking your wardrobe. I just saw all of the comments above. I seldom read prior answers before I post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859216 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:46:32 +0000 Diana 859216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another who doesn't think you should wear certain colors just because it is a particular season, so I say go for the one that makes your heart sing! If you want it to be more springlike just pair it with some white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859212 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:42:19 +0000 Sveta 859212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you already have a purple letaher jacket? I think it is a darker shade but still in the same family, right?<br /> I would go for blue (but I am going for white IYKWIM </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859173 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:08:05 +0000 catgirl 859173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a good person to ask as I don't change colors by seasons (if you can call them that here). However, don't you have a purple leather jacket? I'd go with a blue for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859120 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:59:00 +0000 kellygirl 859120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both colors are well suited to spring. Look at MaryK in her purple jacket and raisin skirt. It looks very spring-like to me I don't think you could go wrong with either! I'm kind of in the same boat as you--on the fence about the green jacket--only I'm wondering whether that shade of green will date. Your blue and purple jackets look more timeless to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859118 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:56:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 859118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus - I think you must be in my head this morning I'll be honest here - I fell HARD for the yellow jacket - LOVED IT! In fact, I kept putting it back on the whole time I was in Danier. Even the SA said "you love this jacket - look at your smile". But I kept wondering what I'd pair it with. I don't want to look like a bumblebee pairing it with black and in looking at the rest of my wardrobe, I'm just not sure it is versatile enough.</p> <p>Glory &amp; Rita - these jackets are actually not bad on my short torso at all. I find certain styles of Danier's jackets can work for me. The purple jacket is shorter overall and does nip in at the waist in the back a bit nicer than the blue. The blue (and the yellow) is a different style and is a bit longer overall but still good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859116 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:55:18 +0000 modgrl 859116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I stick with "my colors" year round. It's fun to add some lights and brights in the spring, but my core colors are jewel tones, and that will not change.<br /> Sorry I can't get the blue to work so it's hard for me to comment on it.<br /> Are these jackets petite friendly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859115 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:54:59 +0000 Glory 859115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both colours : purple and blue could definately work for spring. I am so biased here though as I love the blue, especially the first one. I might have to go and try it on this week although it looks long in the torso and I am fairly short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859112 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:50:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 859112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the purple and the blue and think they would work well for spring. I followed the link to the previous thread (missed it while out appliance shopping) and although I am not a huge yellow fan, I LOVE the yellow. Nothing says spring like yellow and it would work so very well with B&amp;W which you favor.</p> <p>Did you know if you sign up for the Danier newsletter online, they will send you an e-mail with a code for 10% off your next purchase?

If the purple was in a lighter shade than it would be more spring-y. On the other hand, I have personally decided to declare my favorite colors season-less, and purple is that color for me. So at the end it is a ll a matter of your personal preference, whichever color will put more spring in your step is the one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859102 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:46:04 +0000 Kalli 859102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple is definitely a spring color, I mean flowers are purple right and they equal spring to me. But I guess traditionally it's not really a spring-like color. The blues are definitely spring like. However, what I have noticed from my shopping habits, if you don't think you'd wear the blue as much even if you want to convey spring, would it be something you should get? However, if you imagine many outfits with the blue, why not try something new? White pants + blue jacket? HOT!</p> <p>Anyhow, apparently most people don't think that navy is a very spring color either but Gucci and even Anne Fontaine seems to be featuring it with soft pink as a spring combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-leather-jacket---colour-question#post-859095 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:42:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 859095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my post yesterday about trying on different leather jackets (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-some-leather-jacket-options" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....et-options</a>) this blue jacket stood out as a possible contender <a href="http://www.danier.com/leather-women-jackets-blazers-104020150-P6299.aspx?lang=en&#038;colour=411" rel="nofollow">http://www.danier.com/leather-.....colour=411</a>|6dacca&amp;mc=yes (please click on the blue circle for the correct colour).</p> <p>I also tried on this purple one which I really liked <a href="http://www.danier.com/leather-women-jackets-blazers-110030364-P6204.aspx?lang=en&#038;colour=698" rel="nofollow">http://www.danier.com/leather-.....colour=698</a>|78558f&amp;mc=yes. They did not have the purple one in my size (the size I tried on was a bit too small) but is available on their website so I could order it to try.</p> <p>My question is one of colour - purple is a great colour for me but I'm wondering if that jacket reads spring at all? Is the blue more spring like? </p>
