Coordinate With Your Canine With Our Favorite Matching Dog and Human Clothes (2024)

Coordinating looks with your dog is a fun way to express the unique connection you share. From beach vacations and wintery getaways to everyday walks, there are matching outfit options for humans and hounds for all occasions. In fact, many people now include their formally dressed pooches as active participants in their wedding ceremonies.

When selecting clothing for your dog, it’s important to prioritize their comfort and safety. We recommend measuring your dog around the fullest part of their chest and from the back of their neck to the start of their tail. This will help guide your sizing choices.

To help you determine which pieces deserve valuable closet space in your home, we’ve selected our top choices for matching dog and human styles. Our overall favorite choice for complementary clothing is Dog Threads by Good Thomas. Within this line, you’ll find a seasonally rotating collection of t-shirts, flannel button-downs, sweaters, and more in a wide range of sizes for all involved.

The Foggy Dog Scrunchie and Bandana Set

Coordinate With Your Canine With Our Favorite Matching Dog and Human Clothes (4)

What We Like

  • Collaborations and seasonal releases throughout the year

  • Additional matching items for dogs available (harness, leash, collar)

  • Bandana comes in three sizes

What We Don't Like

  • Only one style for humans

Bandanas are easy to put on and most dogs will keep them on for long enough to take a few photos. Foggy Dog makes colorful and festive dog bandanas with matching scrunchies for humans to tie in their hair.

The bandanas come in three sizes, small, medium, and large, and are triangle shaped, so there is no need to fold. The coordinating scrunchies have a removal bow to give you options on your look. Each matching combo is made out of 100 percent cotton fabric that is soft and durable. All Foggy Dog pieces are made in the United States, and there are additional options for dogs (harnesses, leashes, collars, beds) that can also coordinate with your bandana plus scrunchie combo.

Human sizes: One size | Hound sizes: small, medium, large

What We Like

  • Machine washable

  • Soft sweatshirts for adults and sets for infants

What We Don't Like

  • No clothing option for dogs

What better way to match your dog than by putting their face on your clothing? Pupsentials offers custom embroidered pet portraits that can be stitched into soft sweatshirts, pajamas, denim jackets, and cozy sets for babies.

The path to twinning starts by selecting the style and size you want along with a photo of your doggo. Pupsentials sends a mock-up for approval before creating your custom pet portrait piece. But there isn’t an option to make a custom piece for your dog to wear. You can also add an additional pet for an incremental fee.

For a matching set that will take you from lounging to snoozing—an activity where dogs truly excel—we recommend Bed Head PJs. Their Dog Lounge collection of soft and stretchy doggie t-shirts comes in a variety of prints that pair with matching human pajamas, including sizes for kids and infants.

The dog tops are made in eleven sizes and the human pajamas are also offered in a wide range of sizes but vary depending on style. Plus, there are new releases throughout the year, and all Dog Lounge pieces are made with organic cotton that’s machine washable.

The 7 Best Matching Dog and Human Clothes

Also Great for Pajamas

Hanna Andersson Matching Family Pajamas​

Coordinate With Your Canine With Our Favorite Matching Dog and Human Clothes (7)

What We Like

  • Soft and stretchy

  • Sizes for humans of all ages

  • Seasonal prints for holidays

What We Don't Like

  • Very limited options for dogs

BedHead PJs offers more print options for dogs, but Hanna Andersson is also a reliable source for matching seasonal pajamas for all members of the family. Only their seasonal and holiday-related styles (Halloween, Valentine's Day, Fall, Winter) include a Pet option. Sizes for dogs range from extra small to extra large for dogs as tiny as Chihuahuas (and cats!) and as big as Great Danes, but breed sizing varies so you should always measure your pet and select the option that best aligns with their girth.

Human sizes: X-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large | Hound sizes: X-small, small, medium, large, x-large

Final Verdict

Our overall favorite brand to find matching styles for dogs and humans is Dog Threads by Good Thomas. They offer a variety of styles and sizes with photo-worthy seasonal releases throughout the year. We also like the simplicity of matching a pair of human socks with a dog sweater from Little Beast. Plus, both of these brands donate a percentage of each purchase to help animals in need.

What to Look for in Matching Dog and Human Clothes

Sizing

Measure your dog around the fullest part of their chest to determine which size will fit best. You should also consider the length of their back, but that measurement on the garment can be altered if needed. Making a dog shirt and/or sweater has sufficient space to fit around your dog’s torso will help keep them comfortable.

Care

It’s important to keep your dog’s clothes clean, just like you do with your own clothes. Always check the label for proper care. We recommend selecting machine-washable pieces for your pup to make it easier to launder, but you might also find it convenient to hand wash, especially if you have a small dog.

FAQ

  • Can dogs wear clothes?

    Yes, dogs can wear clothes that are designed for their body shape and limbs. Your dog might need a moment to adjust to wearing clothes. If you have an event or photoshoot coming up, practice getting your dog dressed several days leading up so you can both get familiar with the experience. If your dog expresses any discomfort, you might need to exchange it for a larger size or a different style.

  • How do I determine the correct clothing size for my dog?

    Begin by measuring the girth of your dog by placing a tape measurer around the fullest part of their chest. The tape should be loose but not too loose. You’ll want to select the size that best aligns with the girth measurement. If your dog is in between sizes, sizing up is usually best.
