Best Fashions To Keep Your Dog Looking Great This Summer

Everyone loves to dress their best during their summer outings. Why should your dog be any different? Whether you have a big, tough breed who loves to wear the coolest "punk" looks or a tiny princess of a pup who looks best in all things frilly, your pooch deserves to look as good as you do this season. Check out these fashions to help your dog look great and turn heads no matter where you are.

First, Know How To Pick the Right Clothes

Before you start shopping, it's important to know how to choose the right clothes for your dog. Start by measuring your dog's height, length, and the circumference around both his chest and his stomach. This will help you to ensure you're getting a good fit when purchasing his clothes. It also makes it easy for your to consult an item's sizing chart to decide which options are best for your pooch. If you are confused about which size to get, always get one size up. You can always find cute ways to tie off extra length or width, but you cannot force your pet to fit into something that is too small.

Consider comfort as well. Choose fabrics that are stretchy and high-quality, which will make it easier for your dog to run, play, eat, and otherwise enjoy life even when he is in clothes. Think, too, about what you'll be doing all summer. That long-sleeved hoodie may look cute, but it's best left for the fall months. Purchase items that are short-sleeved and breathable to ensure your pup stays cool when you're out and about.

1. A Plain T-Shirt

Your pup can wear these plain t-shirts on their own or pair them with tutus, skirts, shorts, and a range of accessories to create an entire outfit.

2. A Polo Shirt

When a casual t-shirt won't do, go business casual by dressing your pup in something like this Zack & Zoey Polo Dog Shirt. The slightly preppy design is available in nautical blue and features a two-button collar that keeps your pup looking fresh no matter what the occasion is.

The 100% cotton polo is machine washable and even includes a hole that makes it easy for you to attach your pup's leash.

3. A Polka-Dotted Dress

Sometimes a dog just wants to feel pretty. Yours will feel like the belle of the ball when she's wearing the Blue Polka Dog Dog Dress With Matching Leash by Doggie Design.

As bright and colorful as your pup's personality, this collared shirt features a pale green base color and a wildly bright print of deep green leaves and hot pink watermelon that looks almost tasty enough to eat. Made of lightweight cotton, this design features a leash opening and a touch fastener on the belly for easy walking and on-off capabilities.
