Dog Fashion Mimicking People Fashion

By Beverly Maniago

What do you think is the main source of inspiration for dog fashion? Certainly, it's what the humans are wearing. Indeed, it's not unusual anymore for your little dogs to sport a jersey, rain coat, boot, berets, caps, belts, and almost every apparel and accessory worn by humans. And though there are several who are raising their eyebrows, a lot are finding the new trend cute, fun, and inspiring.

So what are the dogs wearing now?

1. Camouflage tank tops and shirts. Camouflage prints have been worn by men to denote their authority, while women don on them to make them look sexy. Dogs, on the other hand, feast on camouflage tank tops and shirts to celebrate the summer and to make them appear fierce and in command. A lot of pet owners too would pair these prints with cool caps and shades.

2. Sweatshirts and hoods. Working out has never been more fun than when you have a little companion around. However, it's not only you who's gearing to jog around the park or hop on the treadmill with fashion. There are several sweatshirts and hoods, some even sleeveless ones, that come in a variety of designs. So if a girl starts to notice you, don't take the credit right away. It could be because she found your small dog wearing the Snoop Dogg hood to be such a great sight.

3. Tuxedoes and gowns. Are you all set for the prom night or for the ball? You don't have to leave your lonely pup behind, especially when you can choose from the different kinds of gowns and tuxedoes on the market. For the boy pooches, you can pair the suit with a bow tie and even a corsage. Lady pooches, of course, can wear something pink and ball-like. In fact, there are some shops that are selling dog clothes inspired by the gowns worn by Oscar winners. Surely, these dresses will not only make your pooches feel confident, but they will feel like they are the stars.

4. Swimsuits. Dogs are known swimmers. They can, as a matter of fact, beat humans in a race. However, they don't have the necessary apparel to wear. Thankfully, there are already countless swimsuits that are sold in the market. Some are one-piece suits, while others are bikinis. Male dogs can always wear boxer shorts or dog trunks. There's no other way to greet the summer than through dog apparel.

5. Winter clothes. Dogs don't only need winter clothes to keep up with fashion. The small ones, for example, are very sensitive to cold since they don't have a lot of long fur to keep them warm. It's also a challenge for them to maintain their body temperature. So when you're out shopping for winter clothing before you hit up Aspen, ensure that you can also get some for your little dog too. You don't want him to end up freezing to death during your winter trips, do you?

Just like you, though, your pooch must feel comfortable with what he wears. Hence, purchase dog clothes that you think will not only make him look good but are also comfortable.
