Hot Spring and Summer Pet Fashion Trends

In the world of couture, the spring fashion release is always a big event. Thanks to pet fashion, your dog can join in the fun as well. If you are planning to celebrate some holidays or events with your dog during the upcoming warm months, here are some of the hottest trends in pet fashion for spring and summer.

Raincoat

According to the old saying, "April showers bring May flowers." While the rain may be warm, some breeds are more sensitive to cold and can become chilled when wet. The Klippo Clear View Dog Raincoat is fleeced-lined to keep your dog warm and has a detachable hood to keep her dry. It has a D-ring on the back so you can attach a leash whether you have the hood on or not, and this cheerful sunshine design is perfect for spring and summer.

Mardi Gras Hat

Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" in French. Traditionally, it is a time of celebration in early spring before settling down to the austere, contemplative season of Lent. If you are hosting a Mardi Gras party or bringing your dog to one, he can look festive in the DOGO Joker Dog Hat in the Mardi Gras colors of green, purple, and yellow. Even if your dog is more serious in his personality, the guests are sure to be amused.

Flowered Dog Dress

Probably the biggest spring holiday is Easter, an occasion in which people like to dress up in their best clothes. Your dog can be the fanciest at any Easter party in the Pinkaholic Clarisse Floral Dog Dress. Pay close attention to how the frills on the dress are arranged into multi-colored rosettes. You can take pride in how pretty your dog looks in this dress.

Tutu Dog Dress

Spring is traditionally a time for certain formal events, such as graduations and weddings. Is your dog attending a graduation party or serving as the flower girl in an upcoming wedding? If so, dress her up for the occasion in the Flutter and Twirl Ribbed Tutu Dog Dress from the Dog Squad. Similar dresses are available in several different colors, but this one is such a pale pink that it looks almost white and should complement most color schemes.

Golf Shirt

Golf courses open for business as the weather warms up, as golfing season spans spring and summer. If you are lucky, there is a golf course near you that allows you to bring your dog along as you swing and shank. If so, he'll fit right in on the course with this Golf Dog T-shirt from Worthy Dog. Even if you're not fortunate enough to be able to golf with your dog alongside you, this shirt is super cute and communicates to others what you and your dog would rather be doing.

Tropical Floral Shirt

Nothing speaks to carefree days of fun in the sun like a shirt printed with tropical flowers. Whether you are going to a luau or picnicking in the park, the Dogo Tropical Floral Dog Shirt shows that your pooch is ready to relax and take life easy.

Patriotic Dog Gear

Americans celebrate Independence Day, the day the United States broke away from England to become its own country, on July 4th. This is the quintessential summer holiday with parades, picnics, and fireworks. Many people and dogs show their patriotism by wearing red, white, and blue. There are many cute dog clothes with patriotic themes, such as this one that informs the world that your pupper is a "Little Firecracker."

Incidentally, if your little firecracker finds the big firecrackers upsetting, she may benefit from trading in her patriotic garb for a compression anxiety shirt before the pyrotechnic display begins.

Watermelon Sundress

There is nothing as comfortably breezy to wear to a semi-casual summer gathering as a sundress and nothing so refreshing to eat on a summer afternoon as a fresh slice of juicy watermelon. Therefore, the DOGO Watermelon Dog Sundress may be the most summery thing your pooch could ever wear. Incidentally, dogs can eat watermelon as long as you remove the rind and any seeds first, so feel free to share this seasonal treat with your canine companion.

Pineapple Shirt

Pineapple is grown in tropical locations where the temperature is always warm and canned so people can enjoy it all year. Nevertheless, it still has a strong association with summer because of its prominence in fruit salads. The bright colors of the DOGO Pineapple Dog Shirt in Yellow certainly give off a summery vibe. By the way, dogs can eat raw pineapple, but you should keep your pet away from canned pineapple because of its sugary syrup.

Checkered Dress

Gingham is a specific type of light-woven cotton cloth. It was a good thing to wear in the summer in the days before there was air conditioning because of its breathability. Gingham also became associated with a distinctive checked pattern. The Pinkaholic Carole Checkered Dog Dress is not literally gingham because it's made of synthetic materials, but it gives the impression of an old-fashioned gingham summer dress and is cute to boot.

Involving your dog in summer fashion is fun, but always be mindful of the temperature. Give your dog plenty of water to drink and make sure he doesn't overheat. Look for shady spots to rest, especially around midday when the earth receives the most direct rays from the sun, and don't forget the sunscreen for you and your dog.
