Am I alone in really disliking animal print?

[escargot]

I really, really dislike it. I'm happy to see it on others but I just can't see myself in it. I got given a lovely Lola Rose scarf for my birthday but it's an animal print design so I'll never wear it.

[bunnymother]

Yes

[Hopefully]

It just doesn't work on some people. Life would be very boring if we were all the same, style/body shape/personality-wise. I love it though

[escargot]

I'm glad to hear that hopefully I was seriously thinking I should start trying hard to wear it

I'm sure it can't just be me bunny :(

I can only see Bet Lynch when I see it on me!

[marceline]

No. Hate it. Literally makes me shudder. Lose a little bit of respect for anyone wearing it.

[escargot]

YAY Marceline

[RosegoldRuby]

I hate it too. Def Bet Lynch.

Each to their own, but whenever I see it touted on fashion pages, I think "Why? Why?"

[HellsGranny]

Everytime I see leopard or zebra print I shudder!

I think there should be more fresian cow print available though!

[escargot]

rosegold and HG shall we start a campaign? Have you ever told anyone it looks cheap and nasty or just thought it?

[escargot]

I went into a restaurant once where there were cowskins on the wall. That definitely made me shudder!

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

I hate it. I think the only time animal print looks good is when an animal is wearing it ! It just looks cheap to me (and all the tango orange girls where I live seem to vie to see who can wear the most!)

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I hate it. My mother loves it, I see a lot of animal print... :o

[escargot]

Oh I feel SO much better, this is music to my ears!

[burnishedsilver]

I like zebra and snake print but not leopard. I don't do brown.

[dontcallmemam]

Is a discrete navy & black scarf acceptable may be glancing at neck?

[Helpyourself]

My people!
I was utterly shaken when I first clicked on a link to the Mumsnet scarf. It rocked me to my core. How can so many people be so wrong.

[MarshaBrady]

I really can't wear it.

Oh except I would really like some leopard flats.

But can't do shirts / dresses etc.

[escargot]

Is it tucked under your coat dontcall so that we can't see it?

I doubt that would be too bad TBH, it's the actual animal print in animal colours that bothers me the most!

[awaywego1]

hate it..bleugh.

[RosegoldRuby]

of course I've never told anyone I think it looks cheap and nasty. I just hope it isn't written all over my face.

However "Why? Why?" probably is.

Any Mumsnetters who love and wear animal prints, no offence, I wouldn't expect you to love all my clothing choices. ( But really, why?")

[gastrognome]

I am so glad I am not alone. I cannot bear animal print, except on animals!
Leopard print definitely the worst. I forever associate it with Bette Lynch. Would never wear it. Zebra is pretty grim too.

[escargot]

Oh no marsha step away from the leopard print flats!

Budge up help there's room for more!

[Owllady]

I don't like it either but my fourteen year old daughter loves it

[RosegoldRuby]

For any Archers listeners, I imagine Lilian wearing it. Especially leopard print. The worst.

[HortenMarket]

Actually totally agree with you. I've always thought it was horrid. Then I bought a pair of leopard print flat ankle boots and I actually quite like them. But that's as far as I will go. Really dislike all animal print clothes and could never have the mumsnet scarf.

[escargot]

Oh look at all these sane people on our thread welcome away and gastro!

Why indeed rosegold
