Our Furry Friend Fashion Guide this Summer

Summer is here, bringing with it sunny days, outdoor adventures, and plenty of opportunities for our four-legged friends to flaunt their style. We are delving into this seasons trending canine couture, revealing our tips and tricks on how to keep your furry friend looking chic while staying cool and comfortable. From breathable fabrics to stylish accessories, we’ve curated the ultimate summer wardrobe for your beloved pooch.

Bright and Bold colours

As the summer of 2024 rolls around, it's time to infuse your pup's wardrobe with a burst of bold and bright colours. In addition to its stylish appeal, neon clothing boasts reflective properties. Neon hues reflect sunlight, helping to minimize heat absorption by the jacket, ensuring your dog stays cooler and more comfortable. The Monmouth Waterproof Dog Coat in the colourway Acid Pink strikes the ideal balance between fashion and function, offering protection from the elements while giving a vibrant pop of colour.

Accessorise with flair

Combat the summer heat with a cooling bandana designed to keep your pup comfortable even on the warmest of days. Simply dampen it with cool water and tie it securely around your dog's neck. As it gradually dries, the evaporation process delivers a refreshing cooling effect, effectively regulating your furry friend’s temperature. Our Tartan Bandana is ideal for elevating your pup's summer look while offering practical cooling benefits.

Add a dash of debonair charm to your pup's attire with an elegant bow tie. Whether you’re attending a summer soiree or simply taking a leisurely stroll, the Tartan Dog Bow Tie, crafted from Barbour’s classic heritage tartan, adds a sophisticated finishing touch that is certain to set your furry companion apart from the rest of the pack.

Seasonal prints and patterns

Unleash your pooches wild side with the timeless allure of jaguar print. The Boulevard Quilted Coat, adorned with chic jaguar spots and crafted with a cord trimmed collar, is the epitome of sophistication and style for the season.

Set sail in style with the timeless appeal of nautical stripes. Our Printed dog t-shirt, crafted from a soft cotton stretch fabric, is the quintessential summer essential. Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton ensures breathability and comfort by avoiding heat and moisture retention. Whether your pup is basking in the coastal breeze or taking a stroll along the promenade, this shirt ensures your pup sails through summer in both style and comfort.

The summer season brings not only sunshine and warmth but also challenges for your pup's coat. Increased outdoor activities can cause dirt, debris, and excess oils to accumulate in their fur. Moreover, exposure to the sun and water can trigger dryness and irritation. Prioritizing regular grooming is essential during this time to preserve your pup's coat health and lustre. Our Dog Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner, enriched with nourishing ingredients, offers the perfect solution to keep your furry friend's coat clean, moisturized and in tip top condition.

Your pup's daily walks have now turned into stylish catwalks with their elevated summer wardrobe. As the temperature climbs, it becomes increasingly important to ensure our furry friends remain not only fashionable but also comfortable and well-protected from the summer heat.
