I guess that some people consider leopard print to be "sexy," but my reaction is always "tacky" ... not unlike the orange, green, and brown appliances that were in vogue in the 70s.

Seraphina, I'm sure it looks good on you though :).

Yes, it does look good on me in the manner in which I wear it. My hair is mostly whitish gray with a bit of my original dirty blond mixed it, so the coat offsets it well, along with my skin tone. My scarves are subdued, not flashy, all natural brown shades. I don’t like leopard print in unnatural colors, ie. pink, green, neons, etc. I wouldn’t wear it glossy or head to toe. That truly would look awful on me! I don’t wear accessories or make-up that could render leopard (or any print/color) tacky. I have very small pierced pearl, diamond stud or white gold mini hoop earrings, a white gold baby ring on my pinky, perhaps a Rosary bracelet, and neutral lip gloss. That’s it. I’m not into accessories and make-up gives me acne. I’m actually fairly nondescript.

I have several decorative scarves that I wear for neckline modesty. They have bits of leopard print in them. I also have one scarf that is leopard print. My winter coat is fake leapard print. Not one of these can in any way be described as “sexy” or provocative. There’s nothing skin tight, worn so as to draw attention to my body, etc. I’m in my sixties, a bit too plump, not looking to attract men or to have others look at me. I’d say I have no “sex appeal” whatsoever.
I’ve heard the same comments made about banning denim, leather—-real or artificial, snakeskin print, spandex, regardless of no tightness, velvet, satin, lace, ruffles, etc.
Are we Puritans? It’s HOW and for which purpose a woman dresses that renders certain garments unacceptable. What about zebra stripes or giraffe pattern? This is just silly.

Stop it right now Seraphina!

You're just trying to bring out the animal in us

That's me to a T.

I have one long (waist-to-ankle) leopard skin skirt. It fits well, is comfortable and, if I had a church to go to, I would wear it. I don't feel sexy in it. :-*
