Leopard print coat mid 40's - a bit Bet Lynch?

I've been toying with the idea of buying a leopard print coat.

I don't live in a big place so have wild ideas on what to wear but end up being more conservative for fear of what others think! Really stupid, I know, but I'm a bit shy.

Anyway, what do you think of leopard coats or jackets? Will it look a bit Bet Lynch or Liz McDonald? If I wear my usual boots and skinny jeans would it look ok?

Thank you Halloween Smile

I kept sosander - it's lovely, and it's now too late to send it back. But that M&S one keeps calling me. But I do not need two leopard print coats!

Filiboom can you let us know how your coat is when it arrives?

Rebecca that's lovely on you.

Cherries the Sosander won in the end! You can step away from the M&S one now!

I never got one in the end. It wasn't my DF (my Father/Dad) loathing them that put me off, I just couldn't find The One. Going to look again in the sake and see if I have a change of heart.

I ordered one from boohoo it's a lovely feeling fabric on the outside, nice colour too, but the inside is cheapy and quilted, and the style is MUCH less swingy and fulsome in real life.

and that model must be the size of an eight year old and not a very tall one at that

So it is going back!

I have ransacked every charity shop within the county lines! I wish I had bought one last year , they were everywhere.

Cherries I have the M&S one. I love it. I circled it at last 3 times before going in for the trying on in the store and fell instantly in lurve. It's like being constantly cuddled.

haven't actually worn it out yet, just keep stroking it as I walk passed it hanging up Smile
