Does this work?

I have a mental fashion block on red and leopard. But I was wondering if this being more of a brick red it would tone down the look. I thought this might work for my faux fur ill-used leopard jacket.
Look at the top runway picture and also Net-a-porter styling.

Also OT, I got hammered this weekend on call, 12 hours of overtime. I didn't get dinner three nights in a row. Man, I'm tired.

I like brick red and leopard but you have to be confortable with it.
Hope you are able to have some rest soon.

Bless you for saying that, Anna. I've never liked leopard and red together, but I thought I was all alone around here.

I think you're right. It works better with the brick red.

K. Period.

I really like both of these with dark red and the golden toned leopard. The fit on the Kingdom of Style ones almost had me turning away, but after I got past it, I do really like the color pairing. I think darker, more muted reds are the way to go. Bright red doesn't work for me either. It is like two big "pay attention to me" pieces screaming out at the same time. I think that's the same reason that I like my black/white leopard cardi with a muted shirt color. A primary would look amazing on someone who is themselves high contrast (pale, black hair, blue eyes), but on me, it is a little strong. Of course, I say that today and next week I'm sure to be wearing cobalt with it.

I was going to suggest burgundy/oxblood before I even saw KOS. Red can be garish (though I do like red and leopard, or even red leopard!), but the burgundy seems fresher.
