Green Zara Jacket K/R

greenglove

Hello everyone,
The jacket came in 2 sizes
1. small
2. and 3. medium
They do not look that different, the medium feels better but is it too boxy?
Is this a good look?
Thank you in advance

That's a great colour on you! I really like your hair that way, too. I prefer the small, but I'm not much into fluid fits.

I agree with Alasse; the color is great on you and I prefer the small, at least based on the photos. But if the medium is more comfy and you'll be layering under it, it should be fine too.

I do not think I would layer much under this jacket.
The small is a tiny bit snug under the arms but I think I like the look of it better also. Hmm... not sure, thank you for the input

It looks great. I think I like the smaller size a bit better as well but honestly I don't see much difference. How do the arms fit?

Oh, Jean - the colour is amazing on you! I knew it would be. Just stunning. Do you like the quality of the leather? Is it more indoor or outdoor?

If outdoor, I'd take the larger size. Also -- do the stretch your arms in front of you test to see how it feels in the back and shoulders.

How does it look open?

I adore it on you and can see it working brilliantly for your style. I'm very tempted myself, too. You remember trying on that navy one in Reiss? It didn't really fit either of us...but this one will have a nicer price point, I bet.

I agree that the color is rich and subtle which looks great on you. I hope that it works!

I don't see enough of a difference to sacrifice comfort so I'd say go with the M if that's the one that feels best. Great jacket on you!

Wow! I think this is fantastic on you! It really is hard to see the difference, although #1 looks just a smidge sharper. But great looking jacket for you.

HOLY COW, MUST KEEP. You are so beautiful, Jean! I love seeing you and this color is just amazing on you. To me, the difference in look between the two is negligible, so I would choose based on comfort. (Like Suz, I want it now, too.)

PS I still carry your artist card in my wallet!!

I only see the difference around the mid section and for that reason would go for S. But, the fit across the back and shoulders is what matters to me personally the most with jackets, therefore M if it feels better on.

I hope Angie will chime in though so I can learn.

I am so happy to see you posting. You never cease to amaze me with the right colour for you.

I'm nodding along with Ornella's comments. I see the slight difference more around your middle too (preferring the small) and so I think it really comes down to how comfy it feels around your shoulders and armholes.

Hi Jean!

Hmmm....this is hard. Well, if you are not going to layer, then get the small since it fits slimmer in the torso.

Lovely color on you!

Oh, Jean, I love it. The color is great on you. I only see the slightest difference between the fits, and they both look good. When I encountered this with my white leather moto jacket last year, I decided to go with the larger size so I'd have a little more room for layering, and I ended up being glad I did -- it extended the wearing season for the jacket. I already had some more fitted jackets, so it was nice to have one with a bit more ease. So I think it depends on how it feels on you and whether you'd like a jacket option that is close-fitting or slightly roomy.

They both look good, so I'd say go with the medium as long as the sleeve length is OK...nothing more annoying that a slightly too tight jacket, or having to restrict it to no layers...

Gorgeous jacket, and that color is stunning on you! I don't see enough of a difference - I'd go with the medium.

AMAZING COLOR ON YOU! Keep the one that's more comfy as both look excellent to me. I'd like to see unzipped unless you think you'd wear it zipped up like this often.

what is the side view especially when open? that's where i've had the most difficulty with zara's neoprene jackets like this one.

I can't see much difference and would go with the one that feels best. The color was made for you. It really brings out the green of your eyes. Must keep.

This is a stunning color! I am in agreement with everyone here, I think the small looks a little snug under the arms, and the medium is possibly loose in the torso. Neither one is bad, and it depends on how you want to wear it. I hope you keep one of them.

I love it on you. What Jeneva said. In pic 1 it looks like it might tug a bit in the bust or am I just overly sensitive to that myself?

Thank you so much everyone! I have been out all day today but will try and take a picture with both open.
I am still on the fence about which one.
Suz, I remember that gorgeous jacket we tried on, this is a bit of the same fit issues but such a great color and low price point I might just have to get it.

Thank you Vive for your comments and that you carry my card in your wallet, such a special day!

Oh, man, that's a great color on you, and I love the style of it too. Keep! I don't see a big difference in the photos. The back view could be telling, though--I always look at the shoulder line in back and the fit across the shoulder blades.

What a great look for you! I'd say go with whichever size gives you that balance between a fashionably close fit and enough ease to move your arms freely--keeping in mind that faux leathers tend to stretch and comform to the body less than true leather does. Love the color!

It's a fantastic look, Jean, and I knew the colour would be sensational on you. I have a slight preference for the medium, but the small works too. Side and back view might be deciding factors? Plus the way they feel on, of course, and you mentioned the medium is more comfy.
