Six Outfits You Can Buy to Match Your Dog

Dogs: We love them. They’re the cute little guys who live in our homes and in our hearts. They’re companions, they’re cheerleaders, they’re family. They’re also gay! Sally has definitively proved that having dogs is a time-honored lesbian pastime.

You know what else is gay? Matching. We’ve all heard of the lesbian twinning phenomenon, where we end up matching our partners, or even our dates — I showed up to a first date in 2014 and we were both wearing Old Navy v-necks over tank tops, jeans and Converse — and now it’s time to start matching our pets as well! Because what’s cuter than a dog in a vacation shirt? A dog AND their queer person in vacation shirts, that’s what!

There are so many more options out there than there used to be for matching your wardrobe to your dog’s. Most of the outfits below include apparel that has been made specifically for dogs, but I’ve also discovered that Milo fits perfectly into toddler-sized shirts.

Most adult clothing in this guide is sized through 4X.

Old Navy Family Camp Shirts in Orange You Glad

Picture B is my small white dog, Milo, wearing the toddler version of the same t-shirt, with the sleeves rolled up. Picture C is Old Navy’s official picture of the toddler sized shirt. — A: Printed Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt ($22) // B: Short-Sleeve Printed Linen-Blend Camp Shirt for Toddlers ($14)

Old Navy has a ton of family matching happening this summer, and there are so many amazing prints available! Orange You Glad is my very favorite. It looks good on literally everyone and it reminds me of Our Flag Means Death! My 19-pound dog fits happily into a 12-18 month toddler button-up.

Old Navy Pride Collection: Love Out Loud

A collage of two images. Photo A is a white bulldog wearing a grey t-shirt that is printed with a heart in rainbow stripes. The heart says LIVE OUT LOUD. Photo B is a model with light skin, long brown hair, and freckles, wearing double denim and carrying a tan tote bag that is printed with the same heart. — A: Jersey-Knit T-Shirt for Pets ($6) // B: Printed Canvas Tote Bag ($7)

Honestly thought this print said Live Out Loud for a moment, but I love it even more now that I know it’s Love! I feel like this matching Pride set works especially well if you have a dog who will willingly fit INSIDE the tote bag, like for riding the subway to pride parties. Live! Love! Laugh out loud!

Old Navy Family Camp Shirts in Yes Toucan

A collage of two images. Photo A is a men’s button-up printed with black toucans with red beaks, and green palm fronds. Photo B is the same shirt, made for a dog. A small orange dog is wearing the shirt and looking at the camera. — A: Printed Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt ($32.99) // B: Matching Print Resort Shirt for Pets ($12)

This dog is absolutely living their best vacation life, and you can too! (You can toucan? I’m sorry.) This is the shirt you wear when the sand is white, the ocean is aqua blue, and your vacation package comes with unlimited beverages. Cheers!

Target Pride Collection: Welcome Everyone

A collage of three images. Photo A is a grey hoodie in an adult size. Photo B is a grey tank top on a dummy shaped like a cat. Photo C is a grey t-shirt on a Black toddler model. All of the shirts are printed with the words “Everyone Welcome — A: Pride Adult Everyone Hoodie ($25) // B: Welcome Everyone Pride Dog and Cat Tutu Skirt and Cropped Tank Top ($10) // C: Pride Toddler Everyone Short Sleeve Round Neck T-Shirt ($8)

This Pride collection has dog AND cat representation, which is very inclusive! Do cats tolerate crop tops? Time will tell! Everyone is welcome at Target.

Target Family Pajamas: Rainbow Stripe

Photo B is a stuffed dog wearing a bandana. Photo C is a Black model with greying hair wearing the men’s version of the pajamas. — A: Women’s Striped Matching Family Pajama Set ($20) // B: Pet Striped Matching Family Pajama Bandana ($5) // C: Men’s Striped Matching Family Pajama Set ($20)

I absolutely love soft pajamas, and I want these so much! They look perfect for bed or for taking a work-from-home break to walk Milo to the mailbox. We’ll be the envy of the neighborhood. “Are those the–” “The Target family striped pajamas in rainbow? Yeah, they are!”

MeUndies Hoodies, Bralettes, Undies and BuddyBands

A collage. Photo A is a white dog with brown spots wearing a hoodie printed with eggs and bacon. Photo B is a Black model with shoulder-length curly hair wearing high-waisted briefs and a bralette in the same print. Photo C is a different white dog wearing a bandana in the print. — A: Dog Hoodie ($28) // B: FeelFree Triangle Bralette ($34) // C: FeelFree High-Waisted Cheeky ($20) // D: BuddyBands™ Bandana ($14)

My underwear drawer is literally overflowing with soft undies in fun prints from Me Undies, but I did not know until today that they also make hoodies and bandanas for pets! Their prints rotate all the time, but here’s one of my favorites. Breakfast is served!
