One item that many people look forward to purchasing for the winter months is a coat. It’s a fashion essential that you don’t want to be without during the colder, wetter days of the year, but we sometimes forget that dogs feel the cold too. Fashion for dogs is now big business, and even London Fashion Week this year kicked off with companies showing the latest outfits for dogs. In this post we look at pret-a-porter outerwear classics with a modern edge that will keep your pooch cosy and de rigueur through a range of wintry weather.
The bomber jacket
The trend for bomber jackets continues and if you’ve enjoyed this look during the spring and summer there’s no reason why you and your dog can’t continue the luxe casual look into the winter months on milder days. Sniffie makes it easy with its range of coordinating silk-effect bomber jackets with crystals, prices starting at £109.
The tweed cape
Is your dog marvellous at detecting scent and other trails? Then why not channel his inner Sherlock Holmes with a tweed cape? Harris tweed dog coat from Harris Tweed Isle of Harris priced from £28.
The hooded raincoat
This handmade cotton raincoat from British brand Baker and Bray is the waterproof essential your dog has been hoping for to withstand the elements while looking BCBG at the same time. It also comes with a leather hang tag to make it easier to dry the jacket after a wet walk. Priced around £78.
The lumberjack jacket
If your dog is a lover of the outdoors whose favourite thing is to chew up sticks, he may be a lumberjack at heart. Why not dress him accordingly with this flannel checked dog coat from Next priced from £10 – £16 depending on size
The down parka
When the weather turns really cold, there’s nothing better than a really warm down coat to protect your dog from the elements. Add a faux-fur ruff and he’s all set for arctic conditions. £37.49 from PetPlanet.co.uk
The classic trench coat
This sleek design is a wardrobe essential that never goes out of style and will take your dog through many seasons. £18 from Pets At Home
