I can't decided which of the above to buy.🤔

I want a spring/summer boating style striped blazer. My thoughts are buy the top one,or buy both of the bottom two ones as both combined are still less money than the top one. The top one will most likely be of a better quality,though i'm thinking it's probably lined which means it'll be warmer so maybe too warm on warm days and evenings. Which would you go for and why?🤔
 
None of them, all absolutely hideous!

Keep it neutral with something gold/stone like thishttps://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-wedding-harris-tweed-slim-blazer-and-waistcoat-herringbone-in-camel/grp/27448?colourwayid=16479395#12256278&SearchQuery=blazer

The advantage of neutrality is that you go bonkers with a coloured shirt or tie/dickie bow/cravats etc and it works for formal and informal wear too.

Ok, but it'll be too warm for summer if not spring and it's a little bit too formal,but quite nice having said that.

If I had to pick from the three I'd go middle for diddle. My fashion "sense" disappears past jeans. Best to go with the opposite to my suggestion. This is what my missus does...

Why stand out?

When you can blend in..
Where did you get that picture of me and @Fab Foodie and @Archie_tect ? (Taken at the last CC Pie meet up)

Isn't that the whole point of them? I thought the idea was that they project the kind of confidence that only comes with knowing that you are wearing a truly heinous outfit.

Anyway, that sort of jacket only works if it has pink in it. It's got to have pink.
