The battle of white leather jackets!

We just came back from our vacation and at last I can fully participate on the blog and forum again. I missed you all!!!
I am going to do a post from the trip soon but today I need YLF wisdom on the white leather jacket.
I went to Danier today to get Inge's and Suz's jacket while it is on sale and discovered that there are more white jackets available now. I tried on 4. One was a definite no but the other three made it hard for me to choose so I got them all and hope you can help me to select the right one.
#1 Traditional blazer style

#2 Collarless blazer

This one is similar to the style Shannon has in black and Suz has in taupe.

#3 Moto style
http://www.danier.com/leather-.....colour=100|ffffff&m...
This is the one Inge and Suz have and the one I originally planned on.

I had to size down to S in ##1 and 2 because they were too big in the chest in M. They fit a bit tighter than #3 but I still can do them up and I hope they can stretch out.

So what do you think - which one should I go for? I really cannot make up my mind...
Thanks!

Gosh that's a tough choice!!! I really love 2 and 3. I think I might slightly lean towards 2 because the fit is SO perfect. You really can't go wrong though.

#3 because it looks more you imo. I also like the moto/white juxtaposition.

sarah

#2, but #3 is a close second. I can't wait to hear about your trip!!!!!!!

Number 2 is my first choice for you. Looks like a great fit and prefer the v-neck.
The tab on the collar of number 3 bothers me in my outfits...

Welcome back! We missed you, Sveta!

I'm an utter spanner because #2 is my least favourite. I do not like the neckline when the jacket is zipped up. I quite like it unzipped, though.

I like #3 best, followed by #1. Both an 11 out of 10!

Suz

Oh, Sveta! Did you try the one with the snakeskin trim? http://www.danier.com/leather-.....colour=100|ffffff&mc=yes

I did, and the cut was not as good on me, sadly...it is so beautiful.

I like all these jackets on you. It is very difficult to choose. I prefer 2 and 3.

I understand what others say about the tab neckline, but in #3 it is actually possible to fold it down so it looks blazer-like. So you can wear it both ways.

#3 feels like the best fit somehow.

3 looks best to my eye - slightly longer than 2 and it looks great unzipped and zipped.
Looking forward to hearing about your trip!

I'm with Angie on liking #3.

I love #3 unconditionally and #2 unzipped. Number 1 feels a little staid to me, IYKWIM.

I think Declawed is right....although you look terrific in #1, it's not as fashion forward or modern.

Thistle

I like #2 the best, then #3. Meh honestly, they are all fab, whichever one you choose!

Vildy

I don't like all the seaming on #2. I like #1 and #3 about the same but don't like the pulling across the center top front of #3. Although #1 is more conventional, I like that it gives you the option of the popped collar. Not sure how I feel about the contrast buttons. What I like about the more conventional style is that it focuses on "white" and "leather" and that seems enough to make a statement but still let some other piece(s) of the outfit shine forth if you wished.

Hi Sveta
I think I am with Vildy on #3 (regardless of what you do with buttons). Yes it is more conventional but her reasons are great. Another piece can be a subtle focus of the outfit - for years! i think the other two have ALGO in the outfit. Do you feel comfortable and happy in any of them more than the others?

You are a bit spoilt for chic. Have fun.

Welcome back, Sveta!

My daughter wanted to put in her lonely vote for #1. She likes the black buttons.

My eldest DS and I like 3. Moto style for the win!

To recap:

DD likes #1
DS likes #3
I like #3

(Sorry, first chance to try all these new features.) : P

MsMary

I love #1. I might change the buttons to something less contrasty, though.

Beth Ann

Welcome back, lovely Sveta!

#3!

Carla

The fit of # 2 is amazing, but I wonder that the open neckline might reduce it's versatility ( would need a scarf or something in cooler weather.). # 3 is a very close second, and with the ability to style the neckline in different ways, is probably the more versatile choice.

Welcome back!

Tanya

Welcome back Sveta! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

#3 gets my vote, hands down.

Jaime

Tough call, but I think I like #1 the best. You look terrific in white leather!

Deborah

Sveta so nice to have you back! I love #2. I actually love the neckline of #2 open and zipped. Im afraid it's just my personal preferece but I don't like the neckline on #3 and tend to think that neckline looks a bit funny when turned down.

Ariadne

#3, or #2 if only wearing unzipped.

You look lovely in white!

Aida

For you I like #1 (might swap buttons to a lower contrast) and #3 (the tab at the neck is from functional moto jackets)

1) #2 - so versatile and mod!
2) #3 - I'm more worried this collar would be limiting.
3) #1 - I don't like this one as much

jayne

boy, we are all over the place, I will vote for 2! i liked it best seen from the back, so shapely, and the front, even zipped as it seemed to pull less than 3

Lyn D.

Hi Sveta,
1 and 2 are my faves.
3 looks a little space-suite to me.

Ingunn

Welcome back! I can see why this is difficult, because you could really keep them all. I think I prefer #2, but #1 is also a great option.

Wow, responses here are fascinating! I think the jackets all look so good on you, Sveta, that a lot of the comments are more about what would work on the poster or what she would like personally for herself vs. what is necessarily best for you. I don't mean people intend to comment that way. Just that it's maybe the default when there is no obvious winner objectively for you? I wonder.

My favorite on you is #1, including the black buttons, then #3. You look wonderful in all of them. If the third seems the most comfortable fit, go with that one. It may also be the best for your style.

Mona

Nice to see you again, Sveta. They all fit so you nice but my favourite is #3 with #2 a close second.
