MAN’S GIRL’S BEST FRIEND

They say dogs look like their owners… but how iconic is the Look?

Dear Marilyn, we too love diamonds, however there may have been some serious oversight on contenders for a girl’s best friend. K9’s are a woman’s greatest confidant, best friend, and coincidentally the perfect accessory. Diamonds are undoubtedly stunning, but they can’t simultaneously accessorize while also providing companionship like a girl’s true best friend can.

When discussing fashion It-girls and their It-dogs, Elle & Bruiser Woods cannot go without mentioning. They are the prime example of a dynamic duo that embraces the silly whimsy of styling yourself with your pet. Within their catalog of ensembles, some outfits showcase–

matching accessories while others capitalize on perfect color coordination. What’s clear from every look is that Elle & Bruiser are a unit, who, when together, create a look more powerful than either individual.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, but every bit as much of a perfect match, is Kendall Jenner and her Doberman Pinscher, Pyro. This high-fashion duo is no stranger to public appearances with sneaky Bottega Venetta campaigns as well as outright photoshoots. Where Elle & Bruiser play into the maximalism of it all, Kendall & Pyro lean into chic subtlety. Even without extra adornments, Pyro’s coloring blends right into Kendall’s usual understated palette. These pairs, though in different ways, are examples of It-girls incorporating their dogs as an extension of their own personal style.

If you and your pup share a similar passion for fashion, look no further for starting blocks to begin building a simpatico closet with your four-legged friend.
