Designer Dog Clothes
Some of us just to refuse to think of our dogs are just dogs.
For us there are dog clothes!
Cute sweaters, doggie tee shirts, dog booties, stylish bandanas,
and let's not forget little hats. These are among the items
people will purchase to dress their dogs in style.
Dressing a dog is more about the owner having fun than the
animal, but as long as the clothing isn't uncomfortable, most
dogs don't mind humoring their human friends. Some even seem to
enjoy grabbing the spotlight with their new look.
Internet shopping has taken the concept of dressing our dogs to
new levels as websites offering all manner of "designer" dog
clothing have popped up everywhere. With names like Glamour Dog,
Designer Dog Wear, and Paw Printz Boutique (dot com, of course),
these sites offer the tops in canine fashion for proud owners to
place on their pups.
Years ago, it was not uncommon to see a dog in a knit sweater or
some other cute clothing article, but today there are nearly as
many clothing choices for dogs as there are for people. There
are dresses and slacks, raincoats, eyewear, headwear, footwear,
and every imaginable item. There is doggie casual wear, for
hanging around on the beach, doggie formal wear for those
special black tie occasions and even doggie wedding gowns and
tuxedos for the wedding of a doggie's dreams!
In many cases, the doggie designer clothing comes complete with
a doggie designer price tag. Dog dresses at Glamour Dog dot com,
for example, are listed with prices that run from $40.00 for a
basic Mary Jane dress to $86.00 for prom wear! Some of these dog
clothes cost more than many people spend to dress themselves.
Nothing is too good for our "best friend!"
Some personal favorites include the doggie trench coat ($70.00),
the various college football jerseys ($25.00), and the 100%
cotton doggie bathrobe - perfect for the pooch who wants to
emulate Hugh Heffner.
High end Doggie Duds can be traced to celebrities like Paris
Hilton's Tinkerbell and Anna Nicole Smith's Sugar Pie. Both are
rarely seen in public with out some form of clothing. The PR
these pups bring to the industry can do nothing but make the
business boom even further.
So, if you're in the market for dog clothes that will turn heads
and get your pooch noticed, designer doggie duds may be just
what the fashion critic ordered. Just be sure not to combine
designer labels or adorn your dog in designs that clash. After
all, what could be more gauche?
