If love is in the air, then it must be between pet hearts and their pet parents. Twinning with coordinated clothing is the latest fashion frenzy — an adorable idea sparked in part by more pet parents sharing photos of their pets on social networks.
According to Fortune Business Insights, twinning is one of the hottest pet apparel trends in the market, along with bright colors and graphic prints, ideally made with recycled or plant-based fabrics such as cotton or hemp. It’s a trend that is expected to grow from $5.5 billion last year to almost $9 billion by 2032. Here are a few favorites!
Five Brands That Make Our Pet Hearts Large
Moshiqa is a high-end lifestyle brand for pets and pet lovers known for luxurious fashion wear for pets and humans. It was founded in 2017 by Meryem Birsoz, a self-made woman entrepreneur, and her heroine life partner, Moshi, the Shih Tzu.
One of their many matching brainstorms is a Paris Hilton-inspired ensemble done up in bold pink. By picking this pink as a primary color palette, it’s easy to match up everything from a human hoodie to a roomy leather carrier.
If pink isn’t your style, Moshiqa has other options, including a staple ‘I Woof U’ hoodie in gray. The jacket features a charmingly embroidered “I Woof U” sign on the chest, affirming love for all things canine, made with a 80-20 percent cotton-polyester blend that is as gentle as anything else you might want in your closet.
Woof+Ween might not be as obvious when it comes to twinning apparel, there are some tricks that can make it easy for fashion-minded pet parents. Woof+Ween was founded in Southside, Alabama, by Megan, her husband, and their three dachshunds in 2022.
Megan’s story is touching because her store was inspired by her brother, who passed away in 2019. He was a huge animal lover, always rescuing them on the side of the road. It’s also because of him that some of the money raised is used to save animals.
To make the most out of potential twinning wins, pay careful attention to color palettes centered around special collections like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, or Mardi Gras. By doing so, you’ll find it super easy to mix and match your love for doxies.
Spark Paws doesn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to making apparel matches. Founders Neo and Sarah originally got the idea to open a clothing line because they couldn’t find anything they liked for their French Stella. Their solution was to open a store that featured superior materials, custom made-for-dog fabrics, and an eye for details like gear that fits every pooch like a glove.
Best of all, Spark Paws has an entire clothing category dedicated to matching hoodies and pajamas. Many of the outfits are made with an ultra soft signature fabric, consisting of a 55-40-5 cotton-polyester-spandex blend, which provides 4-way stretch. Some interiors like pajamas feature a soothing interior while some hoodies are lined with fleece.
When you visit the store, take a minute to look over their fabric lab. Spark Paws made six different fabric blends that are comfy, practical, and tough enough to stand up to everyday pet life.
Good Thomas is a collection of three clothing lines that was launched with matching in mind. In addition to its house brand, Good Thomas, the store includes Dog Club Social, which spreads awareness for the #adoptdontshop platform, and Dog Threads, which was made famous by changing the mind of Mark Cuban on Shark Tank.
Specifically, co-founders Scott and Gina Davis successfully pitched their “Dog Threads” company concept to the one investor who said kids and animal ideas are always the worst. Of course, he quickly changed his stance when Dog Threads showed off some of their playful prints for dogs and humans alike.
One example is this terracotta take on a classic hibiscus floral print. Made with a drapery light lightweight rayon, expect to see more of these amazingly popular floral prints come spring. They are the ultimate BBQ party and beach shirts.
CityBear adds even more variety to the matching game, extending their lines to include cats along with dogs. Shop around this extensive store and pet parents can find the twin sets of their dreams — sweatshirts, cardigans, shirts, hoodies, raincoats, and tees.
Cardigans are one of several standout examples of creatively comfortable clothing options. The premium pet and human matching set is crafted with a cozy knitted fabric adorned in a classic argyle pattern. This non-pilling fabric was chosen to resist shrinking and fading while delivering a modern duotone twist.
Like many pet clothing stores, CityBear was born out of the love and obsession of dogs and cats, and the desire of giving back to these animals who devote themselves unconditionally. They’ve made some big strides in creating coordinated outfits for pets and humans.
There are many ways to say I love you.
High fashion is always fun, but there are plenty of creative ways to coordinate wardrobes. Matching bandanas are still one of the easiest and most affordable ways to bring colors and patterns together. All About Spot includes a few favorite pet bandanas in its store.
Another cute idea is to buy a Mizpah Breakaway Medallion or Heart Half, with the intention of affixing one of them to your pet’s collar. Mizpah, for those who do not know, is a Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower.’ It is loosely interpreted as ‘May God watch over you.’
At All About Spot, we take that watchtower concept to heart. There is no safer way to protect your pets than opening a Pet Records account today. By storing all your pet information online, it is safe, secure, and accessible to anyone entrusted to watch over a pet. Happy Valentine’s Day!
