Ladies Jackets - Black or blue?

[MizElz]

my mum says blue is far nicer, and that black is too 'harsh' for women. i disagree, and love black, especially on my bright bay mare! what do you think?

I used to love my black jacket but as I have got older I think blue is so much nicer, I now wear a blue and also a grey jacket

 

[skye123]

i`ve always had black jackets and perfer them personally to blue

Traditionally it is correct for ladies to wear blue and gents black. Guess in today's world though anything goes.

Grey

Burgundy

Black every time for me, especially in dressage where the tack is usually black. Even if thats not the case, if you wear black boots, I tend to think why add another colour into the mix? It looks smarter to keep to as few colours as possible (but I am a bit anal about that sort of thing!).

Very dark blue is much much smarter imho.

i feel exactly the same! i used to wear green and burgundy for jumping (but i was younger then! lol!), but since going into dressage, it just seems far smarter to be in black. didnt feel right when i wore burgundy, and everyone was in black or tweed!

My jacket is dark dark blue, which made getting a hat very hard to match. Blue hats make my jacket look black and black hats make my jacket look blue!!
I prefer dark blue.

I much prefer blue to black. It looks smarter with sandstone breeches.

I'm a Blue fan too sorry x

To be honest thought you should wear what you want to wear and feel comfortable in!

 

[conniegirl]

blue as it doesnt make you look washed out.

However i do prefer my tweed for everything, you can do dressage and jumping in a tweed as well as showing

Navy Blue - much kinder than black.

 

[not_with_it]

I think that blue looks smarter on women. Most of the women that do dressage always wear blue.

I much prefer blue to black . Its the same principle that people wear black on "fat days" - but black isnt a flattering colour and blue is so much nicer and less harsh.

 

[MillionDollar]

Definitely Navy, everytime!

Navy or tweed best..Black for Hunting.

Depends on what you are going to be doing. Showing would be navy or tweed (depending on the class), dressage the same, show jumping - any colour you like!

Men wear black hats and ladies wear blue hats, no matter the colour of the jacket, so I would think navy would look better than black anyway. Plus there are many more choices of navy hat than there are black.
