TLDR: this is more iridescent in person, and really comes off as multicolor iridescent, more than sparkly navy (which is kind of what it looks like online). It's such a statement piece but so easy to wear, I don't think you can regret this as long as it fits you comfy! It's flashy but not in a screaming way. It looks incredible on the model, and it looks incredible in person. Seems perfect for new years or for any concert ever. Would have never bought it based off of the online photo because I'm never sure if sparkly stuff like this will be comfy, but I tried on a normal denim vest and they both were equally comfy, not scratchy! Very glad I was able to see it in person cause it sold me on it immediately.
