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.

Style and leopard print do not go together in the same sentence Single

And breton stripes and leopard print have a place in the same wardrobe - both as neutrals! But not in the same outfit...

KATE MOSS IS STYLISH AND SHE WEARS LEOPARD PRINT.
There.

I think the problem I have with leopard print is that to me it (most of the time) looks like the wearer wants to scream: "Yeah! I'm soo sexy me! Look, I'm a free spirit, practically an animal: Raaargh! Meaow.. Raaaaargh!" That's it articulated..

SirChenin when it comes to the Teresa May kitten heel pump style of leopard print I would agree with you. You win, hands down.

When it comes to a hint a la my style described above? You are wrong.

Soz about that.

MrsCB It isn't about how anyone 'styles' it. I just think it all looks awful. There's much I like about Ms Moran as it happens. But if someone walks towards me in leopard print, my first thoughts will always be "Ugh. Nasty, cheap, trampy" But it's their clothes, their choice

SirChenjin apols for the incorrect spelling of your name.

Do the leoparders all have Bretons as well I wonder

Lighten up mrsap we've been having fun up until now Start your own leopard appreciation thread if you like!

I'm still waiting for back2 to share her leopard skin trews

KATE MOSS IS STYLISH AND SHE WEARS LEOPARD PRINT

Is Kate Moss stylish? Really??

Eww she looks a bit ick in that sirch

I like Rod better.

Just for you escargot

OMG (I just typed that for the third time in my life)

Rod in a Breton with a Britt!

Woooohoooo!

Wow. Has someone actually suggested I'm trampy

Am I flattered or insulted, I just can't decide

And it is all about styling. But some people I guess just don't get that

I am the gift that keeps on giving

And it is all about styling. But some people I guess just don't get that

Yeah - the ones who wear animal prints

Fair enough. Thinking about it I probably did come across as if I should lighten up....but really, trampy?

It's the judging that amazes me. I just hope all those judging (as opposed to having an opinion) are immaculately turned out?

Yes, someone have a word with Kate Moss et al about their dreadful style. That poor deluded style icon. Bless her. She should get herself down to white stuff and buy some nice flystuff boots.

They are Mrsap - a bit dull but not trampy in the slightest. But then as Bonsoir once said 'I'd be rather mutton than mumsy'

Who decides someone is a style icon, I wonder? It's all subjective, innit?

Of course, but Kate Moss is a pretty long established style icon isnt' she?

True Mrs CB. Give me mutton over mumsy any day. Just my opinion though!

DD (12) loves it, always has. I will never forget her crying her eyes out in Next when she was only tiny for a leopard print top. She was sobbing for the lovely "cheetah top". Yes I did buy it. Hated it.

Its all just our opinions

I don't feel the need to call other people trampy/frumpy etc for what they wear though just because its not to my own personal taste.

Love animal prints

Looks at sm in new favourable light [like she cares]
