How to Dress Your Dog according to His Body Type. If you’re going to humiliate your
dog by dressing him up, you might as well choose outfits that flatter his figure. You
will need Fashion knowledge and common sense. Step 1. Put poodles in well-tailored outfits.
All that thick curly hair tends to make the poor dears look heavier than they are, which
will be exacerbated by both too loose and too tight clothing. Step 2. Always put your
dachshund, or any other short-legged pooch, in outfits with pants. Making him go bottomless
will only accentuate his stubby little legs. Step 3. Labs are tall and slim, so they can
get away with just about anything. But beware unflattering colors! Brown and black labs
look great in grey, royal blue, and emerald green. Yellow labs are best in camel, olive,
orange, gold, and dark brown. Step 4. Let’s be honest: bulldogs have huge heads and lots
of wrinkles. So why not be bold and accentuate them? Hoodies and turtlenecks are good choices.
Be sure bulldogs’ clothes are washable, because this breed tends to drool. Step 5.
Shih tzus and Pekingese—dare we say it?—have a body hair problem. But one can easily deflect
attention from it by accessorizing with colorful ribbons, bandanas, and fancy bejeweled collars.
Step 6. Though puny, Chihuahuas have very fine bone structure. Not only can they carry
off regal fabrics like velvet and satin—they are elevated by them! Step 7. Never put a
boxer in horizontal stripes; they will just emphasize his stocky torso. Stick with solid
colors or vertical stripes. Step 8. No matter how you fit Fido, never put him in restrictive
clothing; it could hamper his ability to breathe. Did you know One in five people admit their
pets at least occasionally wear clothes.
