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.

[ExcuseTypos]

I always think of Bet Lynch (shows my age)

[MarshaBrady]

These flats were one of my first pins way back when. Do they make people shudder?

Also a bit animaly quite like those.

But can't do coats etc. Think it merges with my freckles. That's it, I need the distance from my freckles to my feet.

[marceline]

I have only told very close friends. And my mum. I judge everyone else silently.

[dontcallmemam]

escargot it's a tiny, thin cotton one. If you saw it from a distance and weren't wearing your specs you'd think it was just a nice blue pattern...

Darn you MN, you told me to buy leopard print pumps.

[Bowlersarm]

Hate it. All of it. Tried to like it, but just can't.

[TimeToPassGo]

Agree it is horrible and to my shame I also find it quite cheap looking. Round here it seems to be lots of tanned, brassy women of a certain age who love it. I very rarely see younger people wearing it.

[escargot]

horten, owl and excuse welcome one and all (even if the odd pair of flats gets through I feel in such good company!

[Notonaschoolnight]

Hate it too rarely looks anything but cheap

[furbaby]

I hate animal print cheap and tacky .
I know someone who wears lots of animal print and all at the same time .... think zebra print top, leopard print bottoms , snake print handbag :(

[RosegoldRuby]

Marceline I have never, ever told anyone before. I have come out and I'm proud.

My name's RosegoldRuby and I hate animal print.

What a relief

[escargot]

Ok don't you can keep it! marsha I'd rather you had freckles on your feet!

Oh look at all these new people we have on our side. Yay!

I will soon need to go and lie down on my animal print bedspread next to my tigerskin rug!

[MarshaBrady]

lol

Glad I didn't get them after all that then.

[RosegoldRuby]

[RosegoldRuby]

That was for escargot lolloping around on her tasteless bedspread.

[Floisme]

Blimey! It's not my personal cup of tea either but, unless someone is forcing you to wear it, what's the problem? Live and let live people.

[escargot]

I wondered why you were cross rose! Thankfully my taste in clothes extends to my interior too - no prints here - honest! :)

[MyNameIsInigoMontoya]

Mm I used to hate it, and I still hate some sorts - but I am starting to come round to some bits, especially when it is in more muted colours (e.g. grey & black, or navy/black like someone mentioned). I do also now have some leopard-print (actual colours but bit muted/fluffy) flats which I love!

I think it's partly down to one good friend who wears it a lot, our styles are quite different and I'd never wear a lot of the things that she wears (and probably vice versa!), but she still wears it well and it is very "her" IYSWIM so I think I like it more by association

[dontcallmemam]

I best buy this one to match my scarf/pumps/escargot's bedspread

[escargot]

Well flo there are clearly quite a few people feeling shuddery at the mere sight of it so we have to protect them!

[escargot]

myname I think you're going to the darkside. Come back!

leopard print goat don't ?? Step away!

[Floisme]

I can see that, Escargot! And here's me thinking they're only clothes

[escargot]

Welcome not
furbaby that's a lorra animals!

[escargot]

Ha 'only clothes' indeed! Pah! We need protecting from wannabe leopards parading their spots!

[Floisme]

Ok, Escargot this is clearly something I don't get - along with bag-love!

[Wuxiapian]

I quite like leopard in small doses - a slim belt, flat pumps, a bag, but not en masse; too cheap looking.

I cannot abide zebra or snakeskin prints.
