Animal prints

They are everywhere, and are quite, quite awful.
Just had to get it off my chest.
Grown women wearing novelty fabrics is totally beyond me.

I'm wearing a 60's style dress with cats peeping out of flower beds.

Am hanging head in shame! :(

I agree that animal prints shouldn't be worn except by the animals and by Dorian in Birds Of A Feather.

I love leopard print, sorry! Grin

I'm with you Ooid- quite vile. I walked past this in Debenhams the other day and was rather Shock Why would anybody wear that?!

Oh my sainted arse that is a bad bad shiny jumpsuit!
Cat's heads are decorative. Animal print is just cheap and nasty. Sorry but it's a fact.

I have a couple of leopard print cardigans that I love, my style is quite retro though and they look nice with jeans/black skirt and a plain top.

No-one should wear jumpsuits, animal print or any colour.

I've just remembered I also have a head scarf and clutch bag in leopard print that haven't seen the light of day for a while, obviously I don't wear all of these things together Grin

I have a leopard print mac, leopard print leather fingerless gloves, leopard print body-con dress, leopard print platforms, leopard print sequined bag, leopard print t-shirt dress, loads and loads of leopard print underwear...the list is endless! I am a bit of a rock/retro chick though, so it works for me (I like to think Grin)!

Shoes! Yes I have 2 pairs of leopard print shoes too, not having had a wardobe for 4 months means I have no idea what I own anymore Blush

I love love love all animal prints zebra, snake(not technically an animal), leopard, tiger....and think they are very flattering. In fact i have been on the hunt(pardon the pun) for the perfect leopard print jumper, would love a cashmere one(see not cheap).

bristolcities · 02/03/2011 15:44

Ummm what am i talking about of course a snake is an animal...duh Confused

I was passing a shop today in town and noticed leopard print carpet I had to go back and look and it was top quality not cheapo stuff and I was entranced Shock

The savoy has just revamped with the most amazing leopard print carpetEnvy

madammecholet · 02/03/2011 16:33

I LOVE animal print, have shoes, handbags, scarves, plus a new Louis Vuitton leopard'esk long scarf - which I am in lust with today :)

But

OP, I agree, you have to be careful, too much and you can look Bet Lynch..less is more with animal print.

Ooid · 02/03/2011 16:40

Ooooooh no, less is far, far too much!
I guess I'll just have to quietly disagree. I think perfectly good outfits are ruined by novelty prints.
