Leopard print

I love it!

Me too Kate1949, I just love wearing tan, black and ivory together, if the lion is king, the leopard is queen!

Me too! A little can look very classy in my opinion.

About 15 years ago my Mum treated me to an animal print mac by Hobbs. It was very expensive and I just loved it. Every single time I wore it someone complimented me and even asked where I bought it. I still wear it now and then. It is very well cut, the perfect length and has beautiful black buttons.

I'm with the "I love it" it Brigade.

Primrose I too have a simple animal print coat ( a gift from DH some years ago) and regularly get compliments or requests where to buy it- when I wear it. It’s very well cut, and is quite a subtle pattern. I was not sure when DH gave it to me- worried I would look tarty- he said that I could never look tarty!
Leopard print can look tarty- but a little bit can lift an otherwise plain outfit.

My sister is the furthest thing from tarty and tacky you could imagine. She adores leopard print and always looks fabulous.

There are also pics of the late Queen in animal print coat.

I think a small amount looks fine, shoes bag or scarf, and if you can carry it off even a coat or jacket.Just not head to toes.

Nothing brassy about this top

I like leopard print because I used to have a leopard print cat, a Bengal.
I have these tops from Roman. I have the grey one in blue. The stripy one I thought was rolling hills but is called tiger.
I wouldn't wear the print on large items, although I do have a dressing gown in it. I don't care if I look 'common', I wear what I like, and it is never beige!

Some women really carry it off well (I’m not one of them) and do look put together. However, sometimes I wonder if others didn’t check in the mirror first. I saw a woman a few days ago in grey leopard leggings with brown leopard boots and a different shade of brown leopard jumper. She was in her 70s, and really it did not suit her. But, by the time you get to that age you have the right to do your own thing if it’s not affecting anyone else.

An old fashioned view, but my immediate reaction to someone wearing leopard print is 'common.'

My mother used to rant about any woman wearing red. According to her, only a certain type of woman would wear red.

Wow, judgemental much?

It makes people look common. It’s tasteless.

Rather a sweeping statement Gran22boy that may be your opinion but I agree with other posters who say a single item in animal print can really lift an outfit.
There are so many varieties of this print I don't think they should all be classified as ' common'.

I don't like any animal prints, not leopard, cow print or zebra. Not because I think they look cheap or anything of that ilk, I just don't like them in the way some people don't like stripes, checks, polka dots etc. Each to their own, it'd be boring if we all liked the same things. My only complaint is sometimes clothing choices seem overwhelmed by the latest trend, whether I like the trend or not.

Yes, I like it especially with other Rich colours Red, Blues, shocking Pink looks lovely. My mum loved it with a good base colour match too.
Bet Lynch I wouldn't really think of her?
Any one under a certain age would have no idea what you were talking about.

Sorry, but I've always thought that animal prints suit animals well, but humans not so much

I love a bit of leopard print! Fun & can be attractive, IMO.

I hate Leopard print it jus reminds me of Bet Lynch.

Fancyflowers -My Mum always says the same about dyed red hair. She loves natural red hair from the lightest strawberry blonde right through to fiery ginger but not dyed. The names she calls me for having dyed red hair are not printable on here.

Honestly, I would far rather see people wearing leopard print or any other animal print or fake fur rather than having them wear real leopard /tiger /rabbit/cat etc. etc. skin!

I don't wear fake fur myself, but if others want to, it is no skin of my nose.

Hate it . Always associate it with Bet Lynch .

Exactly my thoughts.

We are choosing new stair carpet and they actually had leopard print design carpet!

And here are some other pretty stylish items:

I’m really boring. I don’t like leopard print on me, but nor do I like flowers. I prefer plain colours and geometric designs. If pushed I would prefer a bag or pair of shoes that was leopard print rather than a flowery option.
