Waterproof materials can also help keep your pup warm and dry during the winter rain.
Bright colors and patterns can be a fun way to express your pup’s unique style against the drab backdrop of winter. If you’re more of a minimalist, warm neutrals and tones can complement the soft palette of the season.

Springtime in Style
As the sunshine returns, you can bring back your pet’s lightweight wardrobe. Think lightweight jackets, hoodies and leggings, patterned tees, and of course, lots of vibrant colors.
Jean jackets and khakis are also staples for the transitional weather – and they even look great with sneakers, boots, and bowties!

Staying stylish and warm in colder weather can be a delicate balance to strike. It’s easy to start playing it safe with sweaters and jeans, but there are plenty of fashionable options that will help you beat the cold. Here’s how to look great while staying warm.

- Layer with fun turtlenecks, crewnecks, or mock necks in wool, cotton, orcashmere.
- Go for a cozy oversize cardigan with a belt or oversized scarf.
- Sport a classic quilted down jacket or choose from overcoat-style silhouettes.
- Opt for statement accessories like beanies, gloves, and scarves in rich colors or texture.
When picking bottoms, look for pieces made from heavier fabrics that you can comfortably wear all day. Try colorful corduroys, vintage jeans, stretchy athletic pants, or woolen joggers for a stylish, casual look. And, if you’d prefer to go all-in on comfort, try wearing some softer fabrics like velvet and velvet-weight velour. Finish off the look with ankle boots, chunky combat boots, or snow boots.
With accessories, the same rule about layering applies – and remember to wear a hat and gloves on really cold days. Scarves are a great way to add color and texture to an outfit. Consider wearing a lightweight hoodie with a scarf and gloves for added warmth.
Details matter, too. When you’re bundling up, try wearing larger earrings or dangly necklaces. They’ll add a touch of style to your outfit even when everything is covered. You can also add an extra layer of warmth and style with a soft blanket scarf or blanket coat.
Recreate the classics – and more – for an effortlessly chic look perfect for the colder months. Have fun experimenting with different materials and textures and get ready to look stylish and warm this season.
