15 Doggy Clothes & Accessories For Puppy Lovers

by Gina Jones 2

When it comes to animals on clothing, cats have had a monopoly on the niche for far too long. Where is all the dog themed clothing of the world? When will the dog revolution come? Please join my United Association For Justice For Dogs and partake in purchasing some dog-inspired clothing to prove that the demand for pups in fashion is just as high as that of felines. After working in retail for two years, I feel I have the necessary experience needed to spearhead this campaign and bring dogs to the same level of mainstream fashion consciousness that our kitty friends receive.

Browsing the animal-themed clothing of the Internet on any given clothing website should only prove my point: Kittens prevail, and puppies are missing. The rivalry between these two much-loved family pets has been going on since ancient Egypt (I'm sure), but I say it's time for the fashion industry to stop perpetuating the unfair divide.

Sure, dogs proved themselves superior with the release of Cats & Dogs, but that was the early '00s. In the time since, we've seemingly forced cats on clothing onto the general public, when brands should be giving equal representation to our canine buddies. Until that equality is a reality, I reccomend checking out these clothes and accessories made specifically for all the dog lovers out there.

1. Pajamas... Or A Two Piece?

Balloon Dog Tee And Legging Pyjama Set, $39, asos.com

With the lack of dog-themed clothing available to the public, we may have to get a little creative. This pajama set could be separated into two cute dog-themed items or even worn as a snazzy two-piece.

2. Hidden Puppies

Cool Vibes Dress In French Bulldog, $47.99, modcloth.com

Blink and you'll likely miss it, but this '50s style wiggle dress has a French bulldog print that will subtly represent your puppy love.

3. The Scariest Children's Show

If Courage The Cowardly Dog didn't scar you for life in the early 2000s, were you even watching TV in the noughties?

What's better than a sausage dog print dress? When the sausage dog in question is wearing a beret and a little jumper, of course.

12. Pocket Puppy

I don't know why this dog illustration looks so demented, but I'm into it.

Let's not leave our legs out. Make sure they get to represent the puppy love, too.

While I may still be bitter about the lack of dogs in the clothing industry, I'm absolutely in love with these items. Let's just hope this list will encourage designers to use dog doodles more often.
