Leopard faux fur coat

I succumbed to temptation and bought a leopard coat. How do I wear it without looking ridiculous? (with panache and flamboyance, obviously, but I'm a bit short on both...) I'm sixty, I probably look it although I dye my hair brown, I usually wear some makeup although not enormous amounts, I like earrings but my neck is a bit short and thick to take necklaces, I'm 5'4" and a size 14. I'm happiest in jeans and t-shirt, but I do have a secret urge to be dramatic from time to time. So how do I unleash my inner Rock Chick/Bet Lynch?

I think I saw something like that in velufur.com/ which remined me to share it here. I hope it was helpful.

If you are tallish and slimmish, you will look good in anything.

I bought a dark brown fake fur coat on a whim in a charity shop. It is beautifully warm when the temperature is well below zero, but otherwise, too warm to be really useful.

Pen50 I agree with the other posters who suggest keeping everything else simple and understated and let the coat do the talking. Hope you get lots of pleasure wearing it.( I realise you posted back in February, so I do hope you have had lots of wear out of it - please let us know how you got on).
mazza245 - did you wear your coat to the show? I hope you did. You like it and that’s what matters!!
