Which jacket is more versatile?
Mercedes-inspired jackets usually win on versatility. Black, white and silver match nearly every color, so they work for daily wear, smart-casual plans and evenings.
Red Bull-inspired jackets shine as statement pieces. They are perfect for race days and watch parties, and they look great when the rest of the outfit is kept plain.
How do you style each jacket?
The styling approach is slightly different for each team look.
- Red Bull outfit: White or grey tee, dark jeans or black cargos and white sneakers. Let the graphics carry the outfit.
- Mercedes outfit: Black knit or tee, black or grey trousers and minimal leather trainers or boots.
- Race day: Layer a hoodie underneath either jacket and wear comfortable shoes. See what to wear to an F1 race for a full checklist.
With Red Bull graphics, avoid adding extra prints. With Mercedes styles, one pop of color, such as a red cap, can add interest.
How should you choose your size?
Leather racing and biker jackets sit close to the body, while track and fleece styles can be a little more relaxed. Decide whether you want room for layering.
