The leopard jacket as a gangster look

A long jacket with a leopard print is the signature of the gangster and pimp look that originated in the American 1970s. That look is all about exaggeration: the bigger the print and the longer the jacket, the clearer the character. That's why this brown print works better than a plain jacket, as the spots can be seen from a distance. At gangster and mafia parties, you'll more often see sharp pinstripes, while this jacket captures the loose, flashy side of that theme.

Face paint, glasses and jewellery to go with the leopard jacket

Large tinted sunglasses and a wide chain necklace complete the gangster look in no time, as do a few striking rings. Keep the face paint to a minimum and perhaps only add a moustache or sideburns, letting the jacket do the work. A wide-brimmed hat or a black cap matches the black collar. Gold pointed shoes under jeans tie the whole look together.

Choose the Leo leopard pimp jacket in your size and you'll be in character instantly at Carnival or a tacky party.
