to be surprised at the endurance of leopard print

[GoodieMcTwoshoes]

I do have a couple of leopard print things.

But leopard print mainly makes me think of shadowy memories of once seeing Cynthia Payne in it on the news.

Anyone else?

I loves it, don't you know it's a neutral?

It always surprises me, I was put off by Bet Lynch wearing it in Coronation Street!

I really dislike it. I'm surprised that anyone does but we are all different.

I think some people can carry it off, but I look like a barmaid from the Queen Vic. Blonde, busty, middle-aged and leopard print ain't a good combo 😆

@longestday00 Normal leopard print has prozzie vibes. I suppose how neutral it is would depend on how yellowy it is. I've never thought of it that way.

I do quite like the look of red leopard print tho.

‘Prozzie vibes’?

I used to dislike it but it's grown on me. However, the few pieces I have tend to be in different colour ways not the traditional colour

I hate all animal prints tbh. Always have.

It always faintly surprises me to remember that other people like them and wear them, but hey ho, we're all different.

I can’t understand parents who dress their daughters in leopard print clothing. It’s bad enough on an adult but it looks awful on a child.

At the risk of being accused of ageism I think it's a lot easier to pull off if one is quite young.

Not that young though @Berlinlover 😂

It’s really, really tacky. Can’t understand why it remains popular!

I used to dislike it but it's grown on me.

Same here although I've only really got a skirt in it.
I wouldn't wear it as fur (fake, obviously) as I think that looks very old-fashioned/Bet Lynch-y, but I think a lot of fur can look like that.
A young-looking, pretty friend still gives off Queen Mother vibes, imo, when she wears a white fur jacket she has.

I did have a leopardskin 'fur' coat I used to like because I think it was a bit old era Courtney Love. She will endure forever in my mind.

I came here to say this!
I love it and I don't care if anyone thinks I'm too old/blonde/big boobed to wear it, it's bloody fabulous and goes with almost everything in my opinion.

I’ve noticed amongst some friends that they suddenly started wearing animal prints after having children, having not worn them before then. I’ve often wondered why.

Much less tacky than misogyny, as looks go.

This!

my sister was very upset with me when she showed me her (fake) fur leopard print coat. She asked me if I wanted to try it on as she thought it would suit me and I could get myself one. I replied oh no thanks I don’t wear leopard print as it always reminds me of Bet Lynch I didn’t mean it as an insult to her coat but she was NOT happy with me! 😳

the point is I don’t live it but I have no judgment for people who do.

I have seen a couple of things that were dark on dark so the pattern was very muted which I liked much better.

I hate all animal print stuff, no matter the colour or the thing it's on. I always have.

I think it looks cheap and tacky, really horrible.

I absolutely love leopard print! I would also consider it a neutral. It’s always stylish in my opinion and I’ve been called tacky for wearing it once before but truth be told I wouldn’t be seen dead in what she was wearing either so I wasn’t offending - different tastes are valid!

now that I’m thinking about due to this thread I don’t really wear any animal print.or too flowery etc so I obviously have a particular thing for not liking too much pattern or too busy

id wear strips or spots though

Cynthia Payne won’t be a name most of the under 45s have heard of. I love animal prints as long as the print in itself is nice, think it’s much easier to wear than stripes & not as twee as florals.

Prozzie vibes’?

Prozzie Vibes?
Not at the connotation, but the wording... 🤨
