(Joking.) I have to admit, I've learned to tolerate it better, but I am not yet at the point of actively liking it.</p> <p>My hubby is also not a fan of leopard print. And he is most likely completely oblivious to the fact that is very much on trend right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767668 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 02:55:27 +0000 JR 767668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, everybody. It honestly hadn't occurred to me to layer under it, other than a cami for warmth. I think my short black jacket should work well with this outfit, should I need the extra warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767599 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:35:20 +0000 Aida 767599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz and Mo, if you need to layer with this I'd vote to either layer under or a cropped jacket above. I generally am not fond of same-length jackets with this lengthof tunic, and SOME cardigan type toppers could work but it's still often iffy to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767563 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 00:53:21 +0000 Mo 767563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do short over long with tunic tops (although I only have like 4 so I don't have a separate tunic appropriate overcoat wardrobe!) And in the last year I got rid of 2 of the 3 leopard prints I've owned. So, no, you are not alone in being off the cat print bandwagon. FWIW, my BF has negative associations to leopard that I don't think he's alone in . . . it may well be a man repeller of sorts. Anyway, here is my short over long: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767527 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 00:22:33 +0000 Suz 767527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you need to layer indoors with a tunic sweater like that, better to layer UNDER it. </p> <p>Listen to all these secret animal print haters coming out of the closet!!! </p> <p>Until YLF I also hated animal print. I thought it was tacky and over the top. Now I quite like it in the right tones and limited doses. Look what this place has done for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767463 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 22:55:39 +0000 rachylou 767463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over tunics, I wear sweater coats and cropped high/low jumpers. Over a tunic sweater, I'd wear a long coat OR cropped leather jacket.</p> <p>I'm not a big cat print girl myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767413 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:35:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 767413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll join the sub-group, although I do have a pair of casual leopard print shoes &amp; a thin belt, I'm not a huge fan. My daughter says the animal print gene skips a generation. My mother &amp; daughter had/have masses of the stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767250 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:06:02 +0000 JR 767250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elisabeth, that's what I would like to do too. I need a nice long topper. Hmmm...</p> <p>Ceit, that sounds good too. I think I've been going about this all wrong.</p> <p>Gaylene, you made me laugh! A sub-group indeed. I should have specified, it's the indoor topper that is perplexing me. My coats cover my tunics quite nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767247 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:00:15 +0000 Gaylene 767247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My H&amp;M leopard print scarf mostly stays on the shelf, although I bought it for the color rather than the print. And, come to think of it, it is quite a bit more "abstract" than most. You are definitely not alone in your attitude towards animal prints. Maybe you, Elizabeth and I need to start a sub-group on YLF?</p> <p>As for those longer tops, I'm old enough to hate the look of having tops hanging out below my jacket. Even if it looks tolerable in front, I usually really dislike the look from behind. I wear my duffle coat or my mid-length trench to cover it all up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767242 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:53:26 +0000 Anonymous 767242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I try to match the length too. Either that or wear something completely opposite like a very cropped jacket/bolero, so it is intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767218 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:15:07 +0000 Aziraphale 767218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're not completely the odd woman out, JR -- I'm not a fan of leopard either, despite the huge amount of love it gets on this forum! I like it if it's the right print (the one on your scarf sounds nice, but it's hard to see), and if it's on an accessory, and tastefully deployed. </p> <p>So, to answer your question, I wear a tunic-length topper with a tunic-length top. I try to match the hem lengths, more or less. With that tunic you're wearing, I'd wear my navy mid-thigh waxed cotton coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-a-cool-day-and-yet-another-question#post-767202 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 15:53:29 +0000 JR 767202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sweater tunic is probably the oldest item in my closet right now. The ribbed design means it "shrinks" with me, so I don't have to purge it.</p> <p>And the scarf is actually a tiny leopard print, or something close to it. I've actually had it for a number of years, despite my general dislike of leopard (and yes, I am feeling like the odd woman out right now) because the print was so tiny that it feels more like an abstract to me.</p> <p>And now the question: what kind of toppers do you wear over tunic-length tops? What would you wear over this one? </p>
