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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

  1. Oh god…I thought I had good boundaries when it came to putting dogs in clothes but this is testing me. What’s another shredded boundary?!!

  2. One of my dogs will tolerate clothes, but the other is so clothes-intolerant that she won’t even let the other one wear them. She freaks out and tries to free him from his shirt. Otherwise I’d be all over this!

    • i understand! my dearly departed Cyrus was NOT into it and just generally far too dignified for such a thing

    • When I am old(er) and cranky(er), I, too, will shed all my clothes in a bid for Freedom !

      Do expect to see me buck naked on a central reservation near you.

  3. hm is it time to make my bastard cat Sharktopus a bi-tie-dye outfit when i make my pride shirt? PERHAPS

    will she bite me if i try to put on her? FOR SURE

      • the Welcome Everyone crop top says it’s for dogs and cats, but imagining trying to get a cat to actually wear it…i bet there’s a reason they used a stuffed model! lol

  4. i dont know if they have rose and sunflower dog shirts, but the old navy oranges-on-navy shirt has two sibs – a rose- on-white and a sunflowers-on-black. they look so good!! they feel so good! wear them and u can match me even if u dont match yr dog!
