Clothing and Fashion Tips For You and Your Pet This Winter

The winters are here and it's time to start getting the warm stuff out. You’ll soon start seeing the changing trend of clothing on social media and other places on the internet. It's safe to say that chances are you too will be following up on such trends and will be taking a page out of the book of some fashion trends. Also, if you have a pet you can spice things up for them too. Why not include your pet in some fashionable melodrama while trying to keep them nice and warm? 

Here are a few fashion tips for you and your pet to adopt in the days of bitter cold below.

Color Combinations

If you’re talking fashion then color will have a huge role to play in everything. Color combinations decide the impact of what you’re wearing. Combining the right colors together can make even the most boring clothes look dashing. Now you can use some good color combos in many ways. You can use them to pair up some lowers with jackets and tops. Or you can get your clothes to go well with your pets for the perfect Instagram photo. 

Wearing the same color as your pet for a photo is an old tradition but you can walk right past it and get creative too.

Comfort > Looks

We know that fashion is an important life aspect for many especially now when social media influence is at its peak. But we should never forget that the real reason we actually wear clothes, especially in winters, is to stay warm. A jacket that looks good but provides no warmth will only help you catch a cold. No number of likes on your photo will be able to compensate for the health issues you might face. Make sure to apply this theory to your pet as well. Also make sure that you don't just do this for dogs, visit a good boutique for cats and get some warm clothes for them too. In fact, do this for all types of pets, and while you’re at it, try to select the best looking warm clothes.

Accessories

If fashion is the topic then simply putting on clothes won't cut it. This winter brought with it some jazzy trends for accessories that you really need to try on. If you’re wondering if we are going to suggest the same for your pet then you’re right. The internet is full of pet accessories that are quite fashionable. Bandanas, scarfs, ribbons, necklaces, and so on are all available for your furry friends online. 

Know your pet’s needs

It is a noble and very loving gesture to help your pet deal with the bitter cold. But you may not take a very vital question into account - “does my pet really need clothing?”. Just like we are different from each other, animals differ among themselves too. Not all dogs and all cats require clothing in winters. There are some pets that have thick coats of fur already present on them and their warm blood helps them stay even warmer. If you can’t figure out if there is enough fur then simply go online and check using the breed and species of your pet. It can be torturous to make some pets wear a jacket and can have complications on their health.

We all love our pets and we all want them to have a good life. While making them look pretty and fashionable is a choice that is in our hands it is also a responsibility to make sure that we do not put them in harm's way.
