Is leopard print a very bad idea?

[MissRead]

I really fancy some leopard print shoes or boots to wear with jeans or a black dress and opaques. But I don't want to look like Bet Lynch circa 1980. Any thoughts?

[Mumsnut]

Oh my. Are you in the right place ....

[Deesus]

I think some people can wear it and some can't.

I daren't wear leopard print in case I get poached.

Shoes or boots will be fine though!

I saw a gorgeous sheer leopard print pussy bow blouse somewhere on the High Street. I thought, 'I'll be back to get that'. Damned if I can remember where I bloody saw it though!

[brookeslay]

pop leopard pussy bow in shopstyle see what comes up you might spot it.
Or do a google search on images.

[MissBeehiving]

Leopard print is a neutral dontcha know.

[MissRead]

Mumsnut I'm not sure I am to tell you the truth :)

[madammecholet]

Leopard is the way ahead so la fashionistas keep telling me in all the mags....

I have THE Ebay scarf, some gorgeous peep toe heels, a clutch bag, and am hankering after a belt.

Less is more with animal imo.

lifesabeech I'm imagining some hideous Jodie Marsh type ensemble with me wearing nothing but some strategically placed giraffe print ribbon. Not a pretty thought I can tell you.

[MissRead]

I am very much tempted by the Ebay scarf as well. I wouldn't consider anything bigger than shoes/scarf/belt or similar so maybe Julie Goodyear can rest easy.

[anewmotivatedme]

leopard print is fab, as long as its not all over, or too slutty.

[MrsBradleyCooper]

It's fine so long as you don't team it with huge gold earrings and a beehive.

[MissBeehiving]

WARNING DAILY MAIL LINK I have the Reiss coat in the middle and love it

[MrsBradleyCooper]

Am I the only one who doesn't rate the ebay scarf?

I bought it last year after the recommendation on here, and I think the fabric feels horrible - really cheap. I'm happy with it as it only cost a tenner, so I think it's value for money, but I have a £20 one from Zara which is soft and lovely and looks 100 x better.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I love leopard print but not all over.

I do frequently wear (not all at once)

• one of 2 leopard print cardigans
  
• leopard print belt
  
• leopard print shoes (x2)
  
• one of 4 scarves and really want the LV one
  
• leopard print clutch
  
• and a grey leopard print dress
  

Gosh - thats quite a bit isn't it

[pink4ever]

I love love love leopard or really any animal print but sadly a lot of the time it doesnt love me Being blonde and largeish of nork it is all too easy to look bet lynch-a-like.
Bought 2 lovely scarves in h&m yesterday-grey and tan leopard print. Am also lusting after shoes and bag from Dune.

[LeBOF]

You can't wear leopard print if you are blonde. That's just the way it is.

[Ifancyashandy]

Ooh, I googled it to no avail, but hadn't thought of shopstyle - good call!

[Hullygully]

yes unless you are a leopard

[BerylStreep]

I have e v expensive leopard print coat - I absolutely adored it. My DH says I look like a prossie in it. It hasn't been worn in quite a while.

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

I LOVE animal print and agree that it's basically a neutral now. I think one item at a time is plenty, and I like to dress it down as much as possible e.g. wear my fake leopard jacket with Converse or a sheer leopard shirt with jeans and flats. But go for your life!

[sweetheart]

I'm blonde and I wear Leopard print and I think it looks ok. I have a belt, scalf and shoes. Thinking of going for a cardigan next.
