Turn heads at the dog park.
With Fashion Week in full swing, let it be known that street style isn’t just for humans. As pet owners lavishly pamper their four-legged friends — think dog DNA tests and healing pet reiki sessions — it’s becoming increasingly commonplace to majorly invest in Fido’s closet, whether it’s a seasonal cold-weather coat or a matching collar and leash set.
If you’re looking to seriously upgrade your dog‘s wardrobe, a range of designers and boutiques cater to stylish pet owners who don’t compromise when it comes to their furry family members. Sleek leather collars, plush sweaters and fluffy jackets merge fashion and function for a look that will turn heads at the dog park. From premium pet supply brand Wild One, to cozy outerwear by rororiri, to Very Important Puppies’ shrunken streetwear staples, check out our favorite brands and stores for top-of-the-line dog clothing in varying styles and price points.

rororiri
A former apprentice under designer Peter Som, Rita Li founded rororiri after struggling to find stylish yet comfortable clothes for her puppy, Rosie. The brand’s clothing, bow ties and bandanas take an artistic approach with geometric prints, ruffle detailing and tie-dye techniques. A range of dog cardigans are detailed with gold buttons and arrive in styles both preppy and posh — we especially love the Eva cardigan, an adorable take on Chanel’s classic tweed jacket.
SSENSE
Back in December, luxury online retailer SSENSE launched an exclusive collection of designer dog-wear by labels including Marine Serre, Thom Browne and Ashley Williams. Now, the site has a dedicated dog accessories category boasting luxe styles for pooches of varying sizes. Choose from a sporty puffer vest by Moncler Genius, a Barococo print Versace dog bed and a Burburry monogram hoodie for a truly pampered pet.
