Yes
Just bought one in River Island with matching jeans - you can never have too much leopard!

MintyNew · 06/09/2024 15:34

I do like this but I'm so on the fence about animal prints. I'm not sure if it's tacky or not(in general, not this coat).

MerryMarys · 06/09/2024 15:36

No
But thankfully we all have different tastes! How boring if we all like the same clothes Smile

Giving me Pat Butcher vibes

ohwhatanighy · 07/09/2024 15:29

I do love leopard print
I'm just not sure how much wear I will get out of it

No, but I loathe animal prints. I know some people essentially see them as a neutral, but it says ‘Bet Lynch’ to me. But it might look very different on you.id look as if about to pull a pint at the Rover’s Return…

I do like that jacket.

I love animal prints but generally stick to very understated items with them. So I think that jacket would look lovely over black jeans and a black plain t-shirt with minimalistic accessories.

Also, Bet Lynch is fabulous. Style icon who was ahead of her time 😉

Ok, but I would be more like this…

No, I think it's hideous but that's just my opinion.
Find it so strange that people ask for straight opinions on clothes. If you like it., wear it...simple.

greengreyblue · 07/09/2024 15:58

Yes I do like it. I love leopard but the shortness doesn’t flatter me. I do have a leopard fur coat, leopard kitten heels, leopard top, leopard jumpsuit.

greengreyblue · 07/09/2024 16:00

Bet Lynch?? Hahahaha what made her tacky was not the leopard print but how she wore it. Animal print is super chic.

LaurieFairyCake · 07/09/2024 16:07

Lovely on other people

I'd look like a fat northern barmaid spoiling for a fight Grin

Over the years I've bought leopard jeans, leopard capri trousers, a cape and a v neck cashmere jumper (all leopard)

All charity shopped after I caught sight of myself in them

I looked HORRIFIC

StormingNorman · 07/09/2024 16:15

I love leopard and navy together. Even leopard and Breton stripes.

I’d probably wear it with a navy jumper and blue jeans. It would definitely be the only glamorous item in my outfit…even for an evening out.

Alternatively, cream jeans, chunky cream roll neck and brown boots.

No but only because I'm not a fan of leopard print.

BobbyBiscuits · 07/09/2024 16:25

I do have a faux fur leopard jacket. For some reason the formality of the tailoring and the print don't quite work. It needs to look a bit more 'grungey'. I had a pvc Jo casely hayford Mac I used to wear when I was 14. I do love animal print. But I'm not sure it works in that style.

Shakenandstirredup · 07/09/2024 16:27

It’s a nice print but I wouldn’t wear it. Leopard is too ubiquitous for me at the moment & that particular jacket cut doesn’t suit me.

What a ridiculously rude thing to say.

PetrichorSoul · 07/09/2024 16:28

I think animal prints look cheap.

I’ve never seen a classy animal print unfortunately.

Reddog1 · 07/09/2024 16:28

I think you need to be slim and quite classy looking to get away with this. With a big chest and brassy hair/puffy lips/false lashes, you’d look like you were angling for a scrap by the bins behind Aldi.

Shakenandstirredup · 07/09/2024 16:29

In terms of styling it, I just style my print items in the same way as I would a plain version.

A leopard can never change its stripes, but neither can an absolute cunt.

Shakenandstirredup · 07/09/2024 16:31

Why are people referencing Bet Lynch? Didn’t she leave Coronation street 20 yrs ago?! 😆😆

Shakenandstirredup · 07/09/2024 16:33

God, that sounds awful, are you a man in drag!?

Because drag queens generally wear chunky roll necks, trousers and boots? 🤔
