Leopard, tiger, zebra, etc.: Do you like to wear animal print?

Animal print shows up on a lot of ladies' clothing. I see it on purses, shirts, pants, shoes, pantyhose, bathrobes - everywhere! I suppose it is meant to make the wearer feel wild or sexy maybe, I'm not sure. Perhaps it is a throw back to when wealthy ladies wore lots of furs. Either way, I've never been a fan of animal print and have never owned any. Then the other day, I saw that the only online vendor for the type of bra I like had two unpopular prints on sale. I only buy them when I see them on sale and they go quickly, so I added them to the shopping bag almost without looking at them. When I did look at them more closely, I saw that one of them is zebra print with hot pink trim. Hahaha! I got them in the mail the other day, and all I can think is that I'm going to feel goofy every time I wear it! Funny socks and underclothes always brighten my day, though, so I won't mind at all. :D Do you like to wear animal print clothes and accessories? If so, what do you like about animal print, and do you only like a particular type (like leopard)? If not, why do you dislike it, and would you wear it if you could only get something in that print?

I wear animal prints,but I don't wear fur.I don't like wearing fur.faux fur is ok with me,but I just can't wear real fur.it is very inhumane.I don't see the point of killing animals for fashion.I have several animal printed dresses,but they're not made of fur.

Oh, I cannot wear fur either, coco! I am working to phase leather out of my wardrobe as well for the same reasons. When I look at animal print as a substitute for actual animal skins or furs, it seems much more palatable to me though! :)

I don't like wearing dress with animal prints, it doesn't look good for me, i don't like large print of flowers too since they are too catching, i like simple dresses with simple prints only..

The same goes for me, xannebull. Most of my clothes are pretty simple too. I would rather have something with a good design and flattering fit than have eye-catching print. Besides, animal print just doesn't suit my personality, makes me look like I'm playing dress-up, hehe. :)
