Recently, Pope Francis while in Africa, put on leopard print vestments which was like most of his other public stunts,
an act to demean the papacy.

But, I have always thought that women dressed in leopard print were attempting to be sɛҳuąƖly provocative?
Was I wrong? I don't think so.

My confirmation came while at a company party, several years ago, when an ex-co-worker lady arrived wearing a leopard print vest. I hadn't seen her in months and warmly greeted her, and added a compliment on her vest.

What shocked me was her reaction to my compliment. She said. "Do you think it is sexy? Surprised and not wanting to get into the "sexy" topic, I replied... "uh, it's attractive!" Then, seeking further confirmation from her old boss, she asked, "Mr. Larson, do you think my vest is sexy?"

The she went on to discuss how the leopard print evoked an animal reaction in men and was generally viewed as being very sexy.
The vest accessory seemed to fit her new job behavior (private airline stewardess), of what I can only describe was that of a "sex kitten".

Okay, she was a crazy dame, but a quick search on the symbolism of leopard print, confirms what the lady thought.

The Trashy, Expensive, Contradictory Reputation of Leopard Print Link

"But leopard print is also a signal of poor taste and of “trashiness,” which really means that it represents the sɛҳuąƖly available lower-class woman."

In conclusion, I don't think it is wise, modest or prudent for women to wear leopard print, especially in a Catholic chapel, in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

Do any trad ladies care to spar on this topic ? :boxer:

I don't think that anyone finds it sexy on Bergoglio though.

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.
