“Which One Do You Like?”: Woman Fits Viral Jet Jacket and Mr Price Jacket, Chooses Favourite

• Danica J Thomas, a local content creator, compared jackets from Jet and Mr Price in a viral TikTok video
• While trying on both trending jackets, Danica explained why she preferred one over the other
• Public reactions varied, with mixed opinions on the jackets from both popular fashion retail stores

Entrepreneur and fashion and beauty content creator Danica J Thomas bought two almost identical jackets, one from Mr Price and one from Jet. The garment from Jet mimicked a jacket from Zara that went viral after fashionistas realised they could buy it for less.

On 16 April 2026, Danica took to her TikTok account to share why she bought both jackets.

She asked the public:

"Which one do you like?"

While trying on the Jet Green Olive Suede Blousson Jacket, selling for R499.99, the Johannesburg woman said she was wearing a medium-large size, which she found too big for her.

Sharing her opinion, she said:

"I just feel so untidy in this jacket. It doesn't feel put together at all. It doesn't feel like my outfit is elevated."

Danica stated that she would give the jacket to her mother because she lost the receipt to return it to the store. She then tried on the medium-sized Mr Price 'fatigue-coloured' bomber jacket for R449.99, which fit better. She described it as a 'good crop' and noted that while it was 'slouchy,' it wasn't 'messy.'
