When are you too old for leopard print?

It's only a collar! Tell DH to stop being so conservative. And get some big diamante earrings to go with it.

I love a bit of leopard print

Oh, go the whole hog Bbnan head to toe in it ( leopards do.)

Never ever....love it
Dh just bought me dressing gown in m and s for birthday.....so snuggley
I try to only wear 1 piece at a time....it's always admired

Sorry to hear that Candlefran. I'm writing this snuggly wearing my huge fluffy leopard skin dressing gown. It was bought for me as a spoof Christmas present but to the horror of the purchaser I love it! The DGS loves it too and loves to be cuddled when I'm wearing it. Win win!

You might get away with wearing it if you are a seven year old boy in a onesies.

Loathe and despise leopard print.

My mother just gave me a leopard print kaftan she doesn't want any more. She is 98

Having stated that I don't wear leopard print, I now remember that I have slippers, gloves and dressing gown!

It certainly is freezing in Scotland. Definitely not a day for dieting. Only snag -overstretched leopard skin isn't a terrific look. Och who cares!

I love leopard print too ! Jammies, slippers, dressing gown , scarves, cagoule, I've just come back from Benidorm where I wore my swimsuit ! Might even buy a pair of loafers this weekend , it's freezing in Scotland ! Viva la Jaguar ! A Big fat one - I've fallen off the LCHF diet !

I bought a pair of leopard print ankle boots only a couple of weeks ago. I quite surprised myself, but I love them. Past caring what anyone else thinks ?

Wear whatever you choose to wear. Never let the fashion police tell you what is right or wrong.

It just depends on how you wear it. I can't see anything wrong with a leopard print collar, but a leopard print bikini with matching sun hat might be a teeny bit OTT I certainly wouldn't take too much notice of DH, they get very odd ideas sometimes.

I love the grey leopard type print but you don't often see it.

Maybe you look so good, he is worried.

Yes I think it depends a great deal on the garment. Think your leopard print collar sounds very tasteful.
Personally I couldn't wear a dress or coat that was all animal print but that's just me. Wear whatever feels right for you and sod everyone else.

You go for it Lynda lots of my tops and one or two jackets have leopard print trim or similar not necessarily in animal colours some are pink & black shades,as long as its not natural skin what is his problem (maybe you look so attractive he is a bit green with envy) one never knows the working of the male mind.xx glamma

I wear loads of things other folk might think "mutton and lamb" when they see it but its MY choice and I'll wear what I want ,when they start paying my bills they can tell me what to wear.Until then my over the knee boots ,jeans ,shortish skirts ETC will all stay .If you feel happy to wear animal print you wear it ,and tell the OH just that

I've had a leopard print wrap dress for around 10 years that goes in and out of fashion as often as it goes in and out of my wardrobe. I love it and it goes everywhere with me, because it's non-iron and lightweight to pack. Tell your husband to back off, Lynda!

I have slippers (which I rarely wear) and a scarf

Shysal the leopard print cat is on the plain cushion - I thought she may have slept on the leopard print cushion for camouflage

I have such a weakness for leopard print.

Gorgeous cats shysal

I don't wear animal prints myself, but like them on others. However, I do have leopard print cushions around the house for the cats, one of whom is leopard spotted herself!

That's interesting monica!

And thank you roses I will go and tell the 'old fogey' that plenty of good dressers on Gransnet are in favour of my top. And I hadn't even thought of it, but if Theresa May can get away with it then so can I! Thanks ladies.

In my late 30s I had the most gorgeous hand made faux leopard jacket. I bought it second hand from a little shop in Canterbury. I must have a body double because it fitted like a glove, it's the only time I've ever had a coat that didn't need the sleeve turned up. As I moved into my 40's I Worried that I might look a little like 'Bet Lynch' and became really self conscious. So reluctantly I gave it to my local charity shop. I hope who owned after me enjoyed it as much as I did. I still like animal prints and do wear them, only jumpers though. If you like the pattern then wear and enjoy it. Bet you look lovely
