Dog Clothes - Functional and Fashionable

By : Ron Smarjess
If there is one good thing about cool weather its sweaters! Sweaters scream comfort, and who doesn't like to be comfy? Man's best friend is no stranger to the concept of comfort. With animals being considered members of the family, fashion design has spilled over into the pet world. After all, you wouldn't let your child or sibling run around naked, now would you? Fido needs fashion too!

Pet clothes consist of just about any item imaginable. From t-shirts and tanks to boots and jammies. With cooler weather upon us, sweaters will not do the trick all season. Dog jackets are necessary for the severe cold. Dog jackets come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Your Pit Bull may want to sport a faux leather bomber or biker dog jacket. While your Pekinese will look pawsitivly polished in a preppy dog vest or ski bunny style dog jacket. Depending upon your climate, a dog raincoat or dog poncho may be a necessity as well.

When shopping for a dog jacket, or any dog apparel, look for dog apparel that is machine washable and easy to dress your dog in. Dog jackets often have Velcro closures, which are not only simplistic; Velcro closures allow the owner to easily fit the dog. Reflective dog clothing is a smart choice for late night walks. Some dog jackets come equipped with an O-ring to attach a lead to.

With the functional stuff out of the way, let's talk fashion! Pet fashion trends are inspired by human fashion trends. Belted sweaters are popular right now as are jewel-tone colors. Both can be found in dog clothes. Fabrics such as faux fur and Sherpa are available among many others including polyester and faux suede. Camouflage in traditional camouflage as well as pastel camouflage will continue to be a popular trend and can be found in a variety of apparel, such as dog shirts and dog jackets.
With the holidays around the corner, you can bet that pet fashions include holiday and winter themed sweaters.
