Style it how it's styled in Pippi's link and you'll look fab! Wish I had the balls - as I said, I love that style on other people, I just always bottle it every time I try one on!

TerrorNotSoFrightened · 27/10/2012 22:42

I'm a 14 as well, was blonde when i saw it in the shop, bought coat and booked hair appointment for the next day.

Brandnewbrighttomorrow · 27/10/2012 22:43

I like it! Agree with fafftastic, love the styling of the zara one.

SomethingOnce · 27/10/2012 22:46

You didn't actually ask for opinions so I hope you won't mind my joining in with a 'don't like'.

(Disclaimer: I dislike pretty much all animal print.)

effingwotsits · 27/10/2012 22:46

I really like it !

Funnylittleturkishdelight · 27/10/2012 23:07

ohhhh I like it.

HocusPocusPigInACaldron · 27/10/2012 23:11

Oh sorry, i think it's too Bet Lynch.

The Zara one is nicer.

ggirl · 27/10/2012 23:13

it's a no from me
the cut is middle aged

bluebump · 27/10/2012 23:14

I like it, but then I bought something similar recently Grin

ceeveebee · 27/10/2012 23:16

I have a short leopard print jacket and wear with black skinnies, I think I look cool and don't care what anyone (esp DH) thinks!

MmeLindor · 27/10/2012 23:16

Bet Lynch - watch you don't overdo the dangly earrings

The Zara one is better. Not my style but better that the TK Maxx or the New Look one.

PippiL · 27/10/2012 23:26

I liked this one too til I saw the plastic "leather" bits on the arms.

I am a redhead, does that mean I can buy a leopard print jacket? Been wanting one for ages since I worked on a shoot with an artist who rocked the look complete with faded stone wash dungarees!

Wheresmypopcorn · 27/10/2012 23:32

Who cares what other people think? I bought a leopard coat about 3 years ago and loads of people told me they loved it when I was out and about. Trust your taste and work it!

echt · 28/10/2012 00:51

I like it, OP.

I think the real error lies in asking people what they think.Trust your own taste. I don't ask others' approval of my clothes, don't go shopping with others, either.

:o

MaureenCognito · 28/10/2012 05:31

Love. Only frumps won't like.

MaureenCognito · 28/10/2012 05:33

I have a fake pony skin fur jacket black with a fifties style collar I got in the sales once. I adore

MrsCampbellBlack · 28/10/2012 05:36

The zara one is horrid in RL - my hopes were dashed. Its very yellow and horrid fabric but agree the styling is good.

I adore leopard print but just can't do it all over.

rarebreed · 28/10/2012 08:31

Love it. My friend is has one, calls it her pat butcher coat.

rarebreed · 28/10/2012 08:31

is

Doilooklikeatourist · 28/10/2012 08:42

I have a lovely fake leopard skin coat that I bought in M & S last year .
The DC hate it ( think DH does too ) but I love it !

It make winter clothes so easy
Black jumper , black trousers , black boots
Or
Black jumper , black skirt , black tights , black boots

I'm old , have brown glossy hair and I'm a size 16 14 about 5 foot 6 tall
But I like my coat

HaveAGoodDay · 29/10/2012 16:47

I wouldn't wear it, it's not my style but then I have leopard print hi tops that aren't to every one's taste! I have a good friend who wears similar coats to yourself, she always looks glam, long boots etc but I wouldn't wear what she wears, I like what she wears bit I know it would look daft on me & I'd feel uncomfortable, likewise, she would never would wear hi tops or hoodies like I wear, they'd look terrible on her! We all have our own style, doesn't matter what other people think about it as long as we're happy with what we are wearing & we feel comfortable in it! You wear your coat loud & proud!
