Now I KNOW what is correct... but what would look better?!?

[KatB]

Am hankering over new show jacket, eventually, but am going to order a beagler in the next week or so for dressage. Now.... do I go Navy or Black!? I know navy is correct for women, but I am still quite fond of black for dressage, and spes cos G has black mane and tail.... and black stressage saddle.... but black isnt as flattering.... think both will go with my tweed jacket, so opinions please!????

 

[Baileysno1]

navy all the way

 

[FMM]

navy is def more flattering, and if you want to sell it you will get more money for it! But dressage peeps often have black, so unless you are showing, it would be OK either black or navy ...

 

[Baggybreeches]

Good Grief NAVY! Please don't get a black beagler uurgh!

 

[H-J]

Navy

 

[icestationzebra]

Navy! You can then show with it

 

[KatB]

Ah but I have a monstrously huge head anyway FMM, so the chances of resale is next to nothing...

 

[KatB]

Thats your job...

Navy - I always think black looks a bit harsh. Navy says to me smart and sophisticated.

 

[severnmiles]

Definitely Navy!

 

[miller]

Sorry but gotta go black - esp for dressage - look much neater (well my lad is black so it does for me!)

 

[igglepiggle]

Navy, no question!

 

[miller]

Sorry to late to edit my post - forgot to say - don't listen to me - I've always been different!

Now that's a plan!

I think I have to buy one with a harness though as some shows insist

 

[mitchellk]

NAVY!!!!

 

[not_with_it]

I would definatly go navy for dressage, IMO it looks so much smarter than black.

 

[custard]

Navy definitley, very few people look good in black I'm old fashioned and think it's for funerals I'm afraid!!

Navy, I bought a black jacket & hat & regret it now. I want a navy one!

 

[conniegirl]

navy, it tends to make you look better.
Black makes people look ill and pasty in alot of cases

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Got to be Navy, far more flattering. Black can be very harsh. Personally I hate the harshness of contrast in black jacket/white breeches. IMO think beige/cream/canary breeches with navy jacket and hat is far more feminine and forgiving.
