Latest Pet Fashion Trends for Pet Parents
Whether you’re at a pup-friendly patio or doom-scrolling your For You Page, there’s no denying it—pet fashion trends are bigger than ever. But in 2025, it’s about more than just cute. Petwear is now a form of expression, a nod to ethical shopping, and a vibe check for your dog’s comfort level. From soft-toned scrunch collars to retro accessories that actually fit, we’re breaking down what’s trending and what’s just trying too hard. Let’s get into the fashion that’s real, wearable, and 100% tail-wag approved.
Why Petwear Isn’t Just for TikTok Anymore
The fashion world has always flirted with pets—remember Paris Hilton’s dog closet in the 2000s? But today’s movement is grounded in comfort and ethics, not gimmicks. Dog parents want accessories that reflect their dog’s personality and their own style, but also hold up to playdates and weather. From statement collars to climate-smart fabrics, we’re seeing fashion shift from novelty to necessity.
- Pet as extension of identity – What your dog wears says something about you
- Increased awareness of materials – No one wants their pup overheating in nylon
- Social-ready looks – Every dog is a brand ambassador now, let’s be honest
At Bougie Dogwear, we craft every piece to balance aesthetics and function. If it’s not comfy enough for your dog to nap in, we don’t ship it.
The Hottest Pet Fashion Trends of 2025
Let’s decode what’s actually trending in dogwear—according to fashion data, customer demand, and what’s flying off our shelves right now.
- Soft Neutrals: Think bone, clay, latte, and dusty lilac over the bold hues of the past
- Scrunch Texture: Elastic collars and ruffled edges that don’t snag or squeeze
- Retro Minimalism: Micro-checks, tonal florals, and ‘70s color palettes
- Functional Details: Bowties with hidden elastic, collars with built-in stretch zones
- Low-Impact Fabrics: Organic cotton, bamboo blends, and natural dyes
Case in point? The Midnight Manor Bowtie for Dogs. It’s soft, tailored, and neutral enough to pair with literally everything. Chic for brunch, comfy for napping. That’s the dream.
Breed-Specific Style: What Works for Who?
Not every dog is built the same—and their fashion shouldn’t be either. Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing style based on breed size and shape:
- Brachycephalic breeds (Pugs, Bulldogs): Opt for soft, no-pressure neckwear like scrunch collars or bandanas. Skip anything tight or buttoned.
- Double-coated dogs (Huskies, Aussies): Avoid synthetic materials that trap heat. Stick to loose, breathable layers.
- Long-bodied breeds (Dachshunds, Corgis): Choose accessories that don’t interfere with movement—no tight bows or wide scarves.
- Toy breeds (Chihuahuas, Yorkies): Keep it lightweight. Even tiny bows can feel like armor if poorly balanced.
Your dog’s breed can guide fit, but their personality still leads the style. A mellow senior dog won’t love a fashion-forward collar with dramatic fringe—but a confident puppy might strut like it’s Paris Fashion Week. Know your dog. Respect their vibe.
Seasonal Styling Tips for Dogs
Just like your own wardrobe, pet fashion shifts with the seasons. And dressing your dog seasonally isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about safety, comfort, and regulating body temp.
- Spring/Summer: Breathable cotton, light-colored tones, no heavy layers. Scrunch bandanas shine here.
- Fall: Add texture—knits, twill, or cotton fleece with stretch. Go for deeper tones like berry or rust.
- Winter: Focus on functional warmth. But keep styles short and snug. Long jackets can restrict movement or trap moisture.
The Twilight Blossom Bougie Dog Collar is a great year-round piece. The soft lavender tone transitions from spring bloom to winter frost seamlessly. It’s a collar, but make it couture.
Mix, Match, Repeat: Building a Dogwear Capsule
You don’t need a full closet to stay stylish. A few well-chosen accessories can rotate into tons of looks—if they’re designed with versatility in mind.
- 1 everyday neutral collar – Like the Twilight Blossom, it goes with everything
- 1 structured bowtie – Something bold but soft like Midnight Manor
- 2 seasonal bandanas – One light-colored for summer, one deeper tone for fall
Mix and match for brunch, the park, or your dog’s next birthday party. Minimal effort, max impact.
Real Talk from Real Pet Parents
We asked Bougie Dogwear customers why they shop with us. The answer? Style is only part of it. The rest is how their dogs respond.
“I bought a designer bowtie from another site—it looked amazing but my dog wouldn’t move,” says Lola in Chicago. “Bougie’s Midnight Manor Bowtie is the opposite. He forgets he’s wearing it. It’s the only thing he doesn’t immediately try to shake off.”
Jake in Savannah shared this: “My dog has long fur and everything used to mat it down. The Twilight Blossom collar is the first thing that sits flat and still shows through. Also, it doesn’t stink after one humid day. That’s a win.”
This is why Bougie exists. We’re not here to sell fast fashion. We’re here to make your dog feel amazing—in clothes that look amazing, too.
