Midlife crisis leopard print coat

[marthamydear]

I've only ordered and kept and worn my new Leopard Print coat.

It's wonderful. I am definitely going through a mid life crisis. It's from Zara, it's lovely to stroke and four people have complimented me on it.

One stranger in a shop today said how lovely it is and where it was from.

My DH loves it too (which I thought was funny)

I am channelling Bette Lynch - but it looks quite punky too when worn with Docs.

Quite a statement piece for me!

Just had to share this info with you x

You must link.

I have one I'm 38 (for another couple of weeks!) I love it. I wear it all the time and lots of people ask about it, I'm channeling my inner Kate Moss

My MIL gave me a leopard print coat, she had it for her midlife crisis, then me for mine. Big dark shades and embrace your alter ego

I am the same! I now have two! Most recent is from Tesco £30 and I love it, dark animal print whereas my other (kids boden) is velvety leopard print!

They're brilliant aren't they?

I thought i'd look a bit over dressed, but I oddly don't feel mutton. I'm 43.

If you are thinking about going for it. Do it x

Oh that is lovely. What the hell is going on with her hair though? I thought id marked my laptop screen!!!

I also bought the Tesco boyfriend coat.

Which I wear, it's a smarter version and is a very good fit. But not as out there as the new Zara one.

My Christmas party coat sorted x

Love love love it!! DH has been asking what I want for Christmas and I've always been partial to a bit of leopard print...

I love the tesco one. I saw it today and everytime i see it, I am drawn to it but i have loads of coats.

martha I'm also 43 and I also have that jacket - lovely eh but must admit I've worried a little whether I'm too old for it - I'm just planning on keeping the rest of the outfit simple when I get around to wearing it..

That zara one is lovely. Skint now (just finishing 7 months of maternity leave) but already wondering how to trim food bill to save up for it!

You can NEVER have too many coats!

Love it! What's the sizing like on the Zara one?

Gardenbirdy I have a fur one, 2 boden, 1 mango, 1 linea check coat. Think my dh may go mad. Enough room for the tesco one? Well maybe just as well its sold out!

Oh and a boden duffle coat crikey!!!!

cardoon I'm a 10 on top, currently large 12 on bottom. I ordered a S and M. Both were fine. I don't like a lot of material though so kept the S.

Love it.

Oh I have a Zara one from about 8 years ago which I couldn't part with and I am someone who never keeps anything that I am not using. I knew it would come back in! The disappointment will be when I realise it no longer fits.

Yours is lovel, slouchier than mine which is a similar length but structured.

I'm 39, glad I am not too old.

I need it!

Love it OP

For my midlife crisis had several ear piercings and dyed my hair purple. Midlife crises are fun.

I have an ASOS leopard print faux fur one from a few years back - it's a bit longer than that Zara one so covers a skirt - and can't wait to get it out again this year. I also bought a crombie style grey leopard print one from Topshop. I am a firm believer in the never too many coats philosophy - a good coat can make an outfit, and unlike summer things you know you will get a decent cost per wear from them.

My coat-drobe currently has:

Three faux furs - Warehouse, Whistles and ASOS
One faux fur jacket - Miss Selfridge
Leopard Topshop crombie
Long grey wool coat - New Look
Orange pea coat - River Island
Navy pea coat - ASOS
Parka - Whistles
Tweedy Whistles number
Various leather jackets which I like layered up with a big blanket scarf at this time of year

Some of these are over ten years old and still going strong.

We have a big walk-in coat cupboard which has less room to walk into year on year.

I've got size Small for Zara coat . 5foot 5 inches. 9.2 stone.

I got size 8 Tesco one.

£100 for two coats - not bad x

Love the Zara one.
Bought a grey leopard print coat last year. Never wore it. Not even once. But I'ma gittin' it out now! Def wearing it this year.

I have the same ASOS leopard and Whistles teddy ones as you I think Judy.

Also recently acquired a grey leopard Maje number and have a grey Warehouse Faux fur from a couple of years ago.

Love all of them - can't be doing with 'practical' coats.

Martha would you say the arms were slim or loose?
