Is it just me.... I see the latest trend of leopard print and other animal print everywhere, and I hate it. It just looks cheap and tacky unless it is on an actual animal. Maybe one item,but most I see are dressed head to foot in it. Does anyone know how to make it look classy and sophisticated or am I missing the point?

I'm a great believer in people should wear whatever they like.
And I've never followed fashion in the slightest.
I have just one pink leopard print jumper from M&S and wear it sometimes because I like it. A few years ago I had a beige leopard skin jacket which I loved.
I'm not classy, but don't care.

👏👏👏👏👏

Anyway, “classy”, in the same way as “taste” is simply down to perception.

In the same way as my DM thought many many things were “common” grin

Absolutely! I don't think I've ever been what anyone would describe as classy. Fortunately I've now got to the stage in life where my motto is DILLIGAF! (google it...wink )

It has been fashionable for the past ten years or so but I’ve noticed there’s far less of it in the shops this season. Brighter colours and embroidery seem to be the current trend.

I'm going out to lunch today. It's my son's birthday.
I think I'll wear my pink leopard print jumper.
Cheers everyone. grin
