When are you too old for leopard print?

I don't think it has anything to do with age, you either like animal print looks or you don't.It does seem fashionable at the moment, all things animal-y, if you like it then wear it ( tell your DH not to be an old fogey) grin

I always think of leopard print as the preserve of older women.

Perhaps your DH just doesn't like it! It sounds quite tasteful to me.

I'd wear it grin
I wouldn't wear a leopard print coat but I'd wear shoes a la Mrs May

Never if you like leopard print then go for it!

If ever? And I don't mean head to toe chavtastic.

But I've got a lovely black jumper with a leopard print collar which I love and think looks very smart. But the other week my DH commented on it being unsuitable for me. Of course that made me insist on wearing it on every occasion but now I'm wondering if other people are perhaps thinking me mutton dressed as lamb...
