Why does it matter what everyone else thinks? If you love it, wear it and enjoy it!

seriously, if youre slim and willowly, it'll look so cool.

But if not, you can't pass it off. I'm 21 but not slim so cant pass it off ha

Annianni · 27/10/2012 21:15

I like it, keep it.

GhostShip · 27/10/2012 21:16

skinny jeans, boots - it'll look great

iceandsliceplease · 27/10/2012 21:17

I want to like it, but I can't. The styling of it isn't right for me.

But if you like it, wear it. Sod the rest of them.

FaffTastic · 27/10/2012 21:17

I generally love them on other people. Every time I put one on I instantly look like Bet Lynch and just don't have the panache to carry one off. If it fits in with your style and look - keep it. Bargainous at that price for A&A

VivaLeBeaver · 27/10/2012 21:23

I've to a similar coat but mines white with black splodges. I love it.

germyrabbit · 27/10/2012 21:24

i love a bit of animal print, but agree the funnel neck is a bit odd.
prefer the shape of this one. and it's cheaper.

SpookyAndFrights · 27/10/2012 21:27

I have this one and totally love it, my friends do compare me to Bet Lynch for my love of leopard print but I can live with it [hgrin]

cantpooinpeace · 27/10/2012 21:28

Vair cool Smile

germyrabbit · 27/10/2012 21:28

i tried the new look one and the collar was way too big for my head Grin

I think it's disgusting but on the plus side if you need to raise money to buy a new coat you will fit right in on a street corner and keep you warm too!

FaffTastic · 27/10/2012 21:39

Agree with venus - the neck makes it different from most other leopard print coats.

OP - what type of things do you plan on wearing it with? And what height are you if you don't mind me asking? Blush

germyrabbit · 27/10/2012 21:41

disgusting is a bit extreme reaction! though my ds said i looked like a chav in it Hmm

i'm 5.6 and i'd wear it with jeans etc, not dripping with bling Grin

It's not to my taste but each to their own, if you were one of my mates, i would rip the piss out of you though Grin evil is me

PippiL · 27/10/2012 21:48

I think it is slightly too Bet Lynch. Sorry.

I would have gone for this

Sod it though, if you love it then wear it with some 'tude

TerrorNotSoFrightened · 27/10/2012 22:27

I love it. Carrying off a look like this hinges on two things for me

  1. The style/colour of your hair, dark dark dark hair looks best. Redheads can also rock it, blondes=NO.
2.what you wear it with, skinny jeans, black cigarette trousers, look great with this coat (trust me, I've got one) :)

The Daisy Lowe ad for biba inspired me to buy a leopard coat and to get my hair cut like hers.

Mollydoggerson · 27/10/2012 22:30

Awful imo, but hey diversity makes the world go round.

germyrabbit · 27/10/2012 22:33

oh no, i have highlights am a size 14 Grin am thinking of keeping it now though, it's so sofft
