This years must-have fashion?

Well this year anything goes, in terms of fabrics, style and utility- from announcing your urban routes, enjoying a little cappuccino style or proclaiming to the world the football team that you support, you can say what you want. And little dogs no longer have the monopoly on the all the fun. The big guys want to be well dressed as well and are they? And are they some?

Of particularly interest for the big guys look out for 'army dog' and 'sporty dog' ranges, plus of course as Trinny and Susannah would say 'don't forget to accessorize'. There are collars, leads, and harnesses that can make any statement you like. There are amazing ranges of clothes for the biggest friend in your life as well as the littlest.

Enjoy, be cool, keep warm and above all, have fun. Accessing all this designer style couldn't be easier of course with the variety of on-line shops and outlets. My particular favorite this year is the relatively new Elmos wardrobe which showcased at Crufts for the first time this year. The site is clean, has some heavenly pooch pictures and is easy and secure to use. Also try Pet London and Pucci wear.

And as a final thought, don't forget to coordinate with your four legged friend. To really join the fashion fashionista and make a style statement, you are going to need to match, compliment or deliberately contrast. How much fun is this?
