It it looks good and feels good, wear it.

It it looks good and feels good, wear it.

I've seen a gorgeous turquoise-coloured jacket that I'd just love to buy but part of me thinks I'd be better going for the safe black option. What are your thoughts?

There are two schools of thought here:

1. Jump for the colour, as long as it suits you and you look absolutely amazing in the jacket.

You'll feel a million bucks whenever you wear it and I can guarantee, as long as you have all your other styling in check, that you'll get loads of compliments.

Although a little more limiting, you'll be amazed at how many colours turquoise looks great alongside.

2. Play it safe with black. As long as you suit black, you won't go wrong with it, it goes with all other colours and a black blazer is a great foundation piece.

You can inject colour and interest through your tops, skirts/trousers and accessories.

If I were you, and I was really in love with the turquoise jacket, which it sounds as though you are, and style and colour wise you look amazing in it, then I'd go for it. It can be hard to find gems like this so make the most of it.
