Zebra print playsuit-yes or no?

Hi,
Please could everyone tell me what they think of a zebra print playsuit? I have seen a nice one which is comfortable, but will it look tacky?

I love animal print & play suits so I'd like it! But my 10 year old daughter would too so not sure how grown up it would be 🤣

I was worried about it looking slightly like something a child would wear.

Anyone else have any opinions?

A big yes from me.

Pic?

Lollypop701 · 01/07/2022 13:20

Need a photo…. Depends on cut but animal prints are really popular so probably fine

Heytheredeliah · 01/07/2022 13:34

The playsuit is very similar to the one I'm looking at

I'm into it.

Bakedpotatoesfortea · 01/07/2022 13:37

I like it definitely and would wear it

ChimChimeny · 01/07/2022 13:47

Yes that's fine, if it had spaghetti straps & more casual/pyjama vibe it might look childish but I think that's fine.

Where is it from (asking for a friend 😉)

The playsuit in the pic is from New Look. It's not the one I might buy but it is very similar. I couldn't find a pic of the one I want to buy online.

Don't know how to put this nicely but it's only my very subjective personal opinion. If you're on the slim side it will probably look utterly fab on you. If you're on the chubbier side it might make your bum look massive...

KirstenBlest · 01/07/2022 14:41

You don't see your bum though.
Jumpsuits tend to make bums look bigger but that's fine by me.

Oceanus · 01/07/2022 14:51

I disagree that jumpsuits tend to make bums look bigger, I think it's more about the pattern of the zebra stripes than the fact it's a jumpsuit! I'm definitely not skinny and I've got fab jumpsuits if I may so myself! I feel great in them! Good to know all jumsuits will make look bigger though!

Yes exactly. I like playsuits a lot but I am worried the zebra print will look tacky or out of style. I am glad a lot of others like zebra print too

I don't think it looks tacky or out of style. It doesn't matter - it looks fun and summery and you like it

Cas112 · 01/07/2022 15:58

I say go for it! I love them

Joyfulflowers · 01/07/2022 17:31

You need to check out the 'What looks dated' thread before you buy anything just in case it's a no no!

However, I love a bit of zebra print so go for it. Would be fab for holiday.

haha I have just read some of that thread! It surprised me that some people thought ballet flats were out of style. I have always liked ballet flats

Not a fan tbh. I think it looks like something you might wear as pyjamas rather than to go out in public Grin.

KirstenBlest · 01/07/2022 17:56

@Heytheredeliah , from what I saw, it was more what people disliked than what was not trendy. They're not for me, but decent ones are classic, so are always stylish

bloodyunicorns · 01/07/2022 18:46

Lovely! Wear it!

limitededitionbarbie · 01/07/2022 19:16

What shoes bag and accessories will you wear it with

I will wear it with a square black faux leather backpack, black converse, and silver diamond or pearl stud earrings

Oceanus · 01/07/2022 20:35

I would wear with I-have-arrived-earrings: big, bold and super colourful! 😅😂

IvorCutler · 01/07/2022 21:01

I like it!

Heytheredeliah · 07/07/2022 12:38

This is a pic of the exact playsuit. Do you think it looks ok?
