Leopard print: yes or no?

[MareofBeasttown]

I like it when I see it on other people, but on me it always looks tacky and a tad cheap ( Also DH starts meowing when I come into the room). But it is so popular these days that I can't get away from it.

I am 49, 5"7 and a size 10-12 if that helps. I am wary of sounding ageist but it does seem to look better on DD, 20, and a size 4-6.

It can look good on some people, I'm really not a fan of any animal prints though.

I love it,. I’m definitely on the older side and I think it’s fun. I’ve had the Hush Hattie dress this year and also the Teva midform sandals. I’d don’t wear them together though. I think they look great. I bought the most gorgeous leopard print long cashmere scarf in TK Maxx a couple of years ago, it’s black and grey.

I don't do animal prints at all.

I think if you can do all over print if its one item like a dress.or coat. But separates look like trying too hard/ bit naff in my view.

No offence but I hate it. Always have but no idea why. I'm 47

I’m not usually into leopard print myself but a couple of weeks ago I clicked on the Times fashion pages and saw a blouse I just couldn’t get out of my head.

That day I found it online and it was in the sale and they had my size. The next day it was gone! A man I know found it on Flannels and ordered it for me. Reader, I married him!

I wore it the other night to a swank dinner in London and felt a million bucks.

Oooh, everyone's buying the coat! This should make the decision easier, but it doesn't!! I just DON'T KNOW!!!

Leopard print is absolutely a neutral. I have a great deal in my wardrobe. DH fancies himself a huge comedian and always says I look like a wannabe Bet Lynch which I take as massive compliment. She rocked.

That Asda coat is fab. May have to take a little look……….

Go on @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal! You can always return it. And if you don’t try it you’ll never know...

It's pay day soon. I've decided if there's any left in my size, then it's meant to be, and if it's not, then it wasn't.

I am zen. 🧘

Love the coat, go for it OP. The Asda one is also lovely.

I'm a big fan of leopard but since I've become the owner of two cats (one tabby) I'm not as confident wearing it as I think I might look like a mad cat lady!

Love it! Normally go for a smaller accessory like a scarf, belt, sandals, etc but have been contemplating a nice autumn/wintery leopard print skirt this year. Haven't started looking yet...

Love it. I think it looks amazing with black and other dark colours.

Posters saying it's tasteless - ha as if.

Joins @daisyjgrey on that hill.... Bet Lynch is a fashion icon.

I love your DH

I have leopard skin stilettos-for sone reason they are very much appreciated

I love it, but I'm cautious of jersey-type materials as the colour seems to grey/ fade very quickly, and then it's not a good look.

Love it Always have I have leopard converse which I love I love anything leopard with all black

The coat has just arrived.
It’s going back.
Disappointingly lightweight, nylony texture, and shapeless.
Never mind

I have a leopard print skirt that I usually wear with a cream silk shirt, opaque tights and flats. It's probably the outfit I get most compliments in. I'm size 12-14, fairly tall and definitely old enough to be Bet Lynch but without the brassy hair!

I can't get away with leopard print clothing. Find it too much on me. But I have shoes, ankle boots, and a scarf.

Good to know, thanks for taking that hit for me @Mumblechum0 - but sorry it was a disappointment.

I love leopard print - But it has to be good - I have a silk blend lined leopard print pencil skirt that I wear and wear and often get remarks from other women about how nice it looks - would have been very expensive but I got it 2nd hand - good fabric is always the key

Totally! It’s fabulous, so long as it’s not in a cheap and nasty fabric! This is a hush dress I have. Sadly, this shot of me shows no waist, so not really flattering!
