Barbour Dog Walking Outfit Ideas
There’s nothing better than a walk with man’s best friend. Lately, we’ve been walking more than ever, so it’s only right that we and our canine companions look and feel the part. Come rain or shine, a dog walk brings a wealth of health benefits, so it’s important to ensure you’re fully equipped for all weather eventualities.
In this post we share our favourite dog walking outfits, as well as all of the matching accessories that you need to coordinate with your dog.
What should you wear to walk a dog?
When it comes to dog walking outfits, you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality. There are a few essential items that any dog owner should have in their wardrobe, the first being a waterproof jacket. We all know that the British weather is unpredictable, so opt for something lightweight that can be layered on colder days. You should think about base layers too, whether it be a light t-shirt or a sweatshirt.
Dog walking outfits don’t just apply to us humans - our canine friends require a warm layer for the colder months. So why not match? At Barbour, you’ll find a wide range of stylish dog walking outfits, coordinating dog accessories and dog coats that will ensure that you get the most out of quality time spent with your pet.
