Where to buy a black women's suit jacket?

heathersissy79

I'm looking for a women's black suit jacket in Dublin. The kind I could wear to work with a black skirt. I have looked in Penney, Dunnes, and H&M but struggling to find a black jacket. I saw a couple of double-breasted jackets but would like a single breasted one (ideally one with a button or two.
Any ideas? Not looking for anything too expensive either (I know I'm very demanding...).
Thanks,
H

I was confused by your title and originally thought ''What's the difference between a white woman's suit jacket and a black woman's suit jacket?!''


oops !

Different shades of black can look dreadful imo really mismatched

Could you go for grey maybe?

Thanks Heidi, I'll check out M&S.

Dartboard - yes that title was very misleading! I'll have to watch my syntax or I'll be confused for a Trump supporter...

Thanks Stheno, I hadn't thought of different shades of black (Henry Ford would be very angry) - would grey work with a black skirt? Now I wonder where to get a grey jacket! Maybe M&S again.

My friend is temping and got some really smart blazers from charity shops for next to nothing, might be worth a look if your on a budget!

Thanks Lily, that might be a possibility too!

meeeeh

Mango also, Massimo Dutti...

Honestly, don't try and match blacks. It never works properly and looks like you meant to wear a suit but picked out the wrong jacket in the dark! White, grey, red... pretty much any colour jacket (probably except navy, black and navy is a tricky one to get right...) will look great with a black skirt.

I have a textured and peplum suit jacket both in black that slot in well with black skirts, but only because they look obviously like they are not co-ordinated.

Thanks for all your comments girls - I'll give M&S and Mango a go tomorrow and hopefully let you know how I get on!

I managed to get a jacket in Next for €46. I think it worked fine for the office look. Thankfully it matched my black skirt. I wore this outfit for my first time in public dressed as a female.
It was sooooo scary at first but I soon calmed down and managed to go to a few shops, Starbucks, and a couple of bars. It was a great experience but didn't get talking to anyone.
Thanks for your all your advice - you helped me look my best!
