6 Pups Who Are All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go

The cutest outfit in the room usually belongs to someone with a great eye for style and fit. But those fashionable instincts are sometimes directed toward four-legged creatures instead. The canine fashion world is now nearly as diverse as the human one, with everything from cozy sweaters and raincoats to tuxedos and miniature formal dresses. You might stroll past puppies clad in cashmere or dogs dressed in jean shorts.

Part of the appeal of pet fashion is how people respond. There's an undeniable joy in seeing a dog dressed and ready to go, even if it's just tagging along for a coffee run or posing for a cute photo. But, spotting one of these trendsetting pups in the wild can be pretty unpredictable. We created this list so you can get your fill of canine couture without waiting for the next stylish dog to cross your path. Here are six furry social media stars with enviable (and tiny) wardrobes.

1. Bao the Chihuahua

Bao wears his fashionable duds like he's auditioning for Doggy GQ. He's a born model, all confidence and bright brown eyes. He's also a globetrotter. Bao's outfits often reflect whatever new, fabulous location he's visiting, whether that means winter chic in snowy Canada or casual cool in California. One of Bao's cutest Instagram snaps shows him decked out in a crisp white button-down and a colorful scarf while surrounded by a profusion of flowers. A tiny brown jacket hanging off the side of his chair completes the luxury look.

2. Adela the golden retriever

Adela's fluffy good looks become even more appealing when she wears clothes. You can see all her girlish charms in this Instagram photo, which has nearly 2,000 likes. The camera captured the golden retriever standing next to a pool in a bright pink dress, the rosy hue popping against the clear blue water and the deep green plants surrounding her. "Love your dress, Adela!" one commenter wrote. "So fancy!" Sure, it's not the best outfit for swimming, but Adela's pool day is about style rather than a bout of aquatic canine games.

3. Duke the miniature schnauzer

Did you finish that presentation yet? Corporate Duke wants to know! In this Instagram photo, the miniature schnauzer has the air of a busy executive, from his confident, upright stance to his LinkedIn-ready style. A commenter described Duke's look as "so sharp he cuts the couch." He's wearing a button-down shirt, a tie, and crisp pants; professional attire that would go unnoticed in an office but stands out on his sturdy schnauzer frame. Real office workers lack Duke's masses of plush fur and his large, boopable nose, however.

4. Mabel the Frenchie

Mabel deserves a spot among the internet's cutest French bulldogs. She has the breed's tiny stature, adorably wrinkled face, and short, velvety fur, along with a special loveliness that's all her own. Fortunately for everyone who appreciates a gorgeous Frenchie, Mabel's also a practiced model with many glamorous photos posted on Instagram. A summery Instagram post of her in a pink sundress and a pink-ribboned straw hat is so cute it earned over 8,000 likes and 150 comments in less than two weeks.

5. Lyla the dachshund

If dachshunds had mottos, Lyla's would be "pretty in pink." Her human, Isabella, frequently dresses her in elaborate pink outfits that complement the golden tinge of her fur. One viral Instagram photo has Lyla posing on a staircase in a gauzy, blush-pink gown with a flowing train. The dress's excess length exaggerates Lyla's own elongated shape. "Omg, Lyla, you look ethereal," one commenter gushed, while another added, "This dress is sooo beautiful on you." Matching bows on Lyla's ears add extra bursts of pink.

6. Cricket the Chihuahua

Spring is in the air, and it hardly matters what month it is. Cricket's Instagram photo offers a whiff of springtime year-round. Her breezy attire suggests warm days in the garden and a frolic of life and blooming greenery. Cricket's always a looker, with her short legs and tufts of long, white hair, but this sundress turns her into a star. Fans are especially smitten with the dress's lemon-inspired design. "So cute! 😍 And I think it suits you perfectly," one wrote. "You seem like a zesty girl."
