Winter Jackets - Choose Emerald

For those that are contemplating a purchasing a new winter jacket, it can be a hard job. Buying a well constructed jacket may mean one will have to break the bank at times, so therefore you want to buy something that will not date as quickly, if at all! On the other hand a jacket is always a good investment. Such variables make the process more daunting. Does one stay safe, or do you choose something different which matches your personality and style. There are always standard designs and colours, and dark emerald is one colour often forgotten but should be taken more seriously.Camel, black, navy or white if you are careful. They are all popular and safe choices when investing in a jacket with the main reason being that they can match various other shades. Although having the ability to do the same, emerald is often a colour that is often missed out by consumers. A little bit less popular than red, which is another popular colour for consumers, it carries the same rich vibrancy that other 'no fail' colours-for-jackets lack. Considered more of a classic shade, it is unlikely that the colour will date at all. And taking into consideration that standard winter jacket designs including the trench coat or blazer, the outerwear will automatically stand out in the street whether it be for street or corporate outerwear.Other points to look out for when buying an emerald winter jacket, is to look for one with a hood, the larger the better. Not only are they the trend this season but there is something fantastic about having the ability to cover your head and face effectively with a large blanket-like hood, helping you feel comforted during the winter months. If the jacket has been adorned with zips and buttons, make sure they stay black or another darker shade. Such outerwear in emerald is matched best with black to emphasise the classical tone of the piece. Lighter shades like will only make the fasteners stand out, which are not necessarily traits if you want to invest in a 'timeless' styled coat.We have already started to see green make it's mark on winter jackets this season, with the olive anorak making a big statement for both men and women in 2011. This may mean we will soon be spotting more of the colour in seasons to come with emerald green being the next colour prediction of choice winter 2012.
