So dont comment if you don't like animal print or make me go to a post office Grin

With loose black top and black footwear and maybe a coat like in the pic?

hmm are they legging jersey material..? if so ..no

if they are proper trousers material then they're nice , I take it you have fab legs

BrendaandEddie · 04/10/2015 13:28

they are polyester with lycra, so a good point. I imagined them to be fabric but a bit slimey

I do like animal print but I'm honestly not sure how hard those are going to work for you. I'm not sure I'd be buying something where you have to have a specific "outfit" in mind to make them work.

That's just my opinion though - I'm always of the mind that if you love them you should buy them.

ggirl · 04/10/2015 13:30

they are a tad Tina Turner

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/10/2015 13:30

I like this look. Trews are longer and less skin-clinging.

BrendaandEddie · 04/10/2015 13:31

Emily - i am thinking of le soir, me smouldering in 70% polyester across a crowded bar at George Clooney my Husband

Zeb ones are cotton, at least. I had some in 1987 that I wore with a huge baggy jumper (stolen from then boyfriend) and DMs.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/10/2015 13:38

I don't like them so cropped.

EmilyPunkhurst · 04/10/2015 13:38

I'm not sure about the zebra... I think it's because I can't shake that idea that I want to be remembered for an overall look, not an individual item of clothing. Those trews are kind of....memorable.

BrendaandEddie · 04/10/2015 13:38

i had a t shirt on with a hammer and sickle on

I like the shape and drape but.....bra??

ggirl · 04/10/2015 13:40

my daughter wore zebra print trews...when she was about 7yrs old...she'll be delighted theyre making a comeback

BrendaandEddie · 04/10/2015 13:42

oh BRA

unless i wore a plain vest under it - cami one

oh its already too complicated, isn't it?

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/10/2015 13:54

Not convinced. I think that sheer black at 'our age' can be a bit 'Lady at Bingo' if not careful. And, frankly, I'd rather dress like a teenage Emo than go down that route.

BrendaandEddie · 04/10/2015 14:08

you might well be right
The wedding the other day made me realise NO to lace, NO to that stuff, oh phase eight love it, hold on TAPEWORK

I like them. I got a fab leopard print a-line skirt from Oasis which I've worn with a plain black jumper and black opaques/boots. Love a bit of animal print.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/10/2015 14:22

Like everyone is crawling with maggots.
