Leopard print leggings - yay, nay or never?

[eshermummy]

I keep finding myself drawn to

these beauties

I'm 36, a (wobbly) size 8 but shortish (5' 4" on a good day). There's no way I'd wear them as they're styled here, I was thinking more with cropped biker boots and a uniqlo black merino tunic/dress to cover my arse - as glorified tights really.

a bit like these but mine are the GAP ones

this sort of thing

Yes? No? Have slight nagging doubt that large expanses of leopard can just look trashy/tarty. Am I running that risk?

No. sorry.

Nay. Defnitely nay.

Not a good idea.

Nope, no way Jose.

nope

GLITTER LEOPARD LEGGINGS? are you insane?

only two of those things are ever possible at once and even then you should tread carefully.

ok if you look like thisimg.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00381/cavalli_campaign1_2_381185a.jpg

I'm thinking Bianca in Eastenders. NO NO NO!

Really, noone but noone likes them?
Whilst I am prepared to accept that they may be ill-advised am truly amazed that noone is sympathetic to their lure - so it must just be me that has this inner barmaid shrieking to get out?

lol trefusis not seen that for a while - was actually a big part of my childhood as my dad LOVED Kenny and videoed all his shows and watched them endlessly.
I used to want to be Cleo Rocos - come to think of it, Cleo would wear them.

No.
Possibly with long boots, def not short ones, and if the leopard print was very muted, not as gaudy as in your link. sorry!!

I like them.

But clearly I am wrong.

steady on I don't think they are glittery fishie, or is my screen not adjusted properly?
It was their matte- ness that I in part, hearted.

YES

DO IT

Where would Sue Pollard be if she dithered like this?

I don't think they are glittery. They're a definite no if glittery!

Not wrong unlurked, just fashion-forward

complete change of mind. they were very glittery looking on the computer i started with but now i have looked on big screen.

they will be marvellous with gap boots and long uniqlo thing. i own both myself.

Jeepers creepers, please don't do it.

Ah see, there are three of us now. Buy them buy them.

Noddy - I look like that in my head, does that count?

Fishie - a change of heart? Truly? All the naysayers had only served to convince me of their complete right-ness but Sue Pollard was a low blow ...

Get a bag or shoes M&S have a lovely pair of leopard print shoes

op is size 8 though noddy. and 36 so better have a last gasp of lamb.

Now I LOVe leopard, but leggings is too much. I have a coat that I can wear with dead plain stuff underneath

If i was size 8 i'd get them
