Trying to dress up a Chihuahua is like playing pin the tail on the donkey if you don't know what you're doing. Chihuahuas aren't like people, and as such, we have to choose their clothes a little bit more carefully. Sure, sometimes you can find a nice shirt or sweater that matches and fits them perfectly, but other times wont be as easy.

Comfortable Clothes For a Chihuahua

The number one rule when it comes to Chihuahua fashion to always make sure they are physically comfortable in what they wear. Feel the material for yourself and see if it's soft or rough.

As you inspect your Chihuahuas clothing, look for poorly constructed seams that protrude out. These prickly areas will cause discomfort when it rubs against your Chihuahuas body.

Some materials are going to simply be more comfortable than others. Cotton is one of the best all around materials for Chihuahua clothes. It's soft, light weight, and versatile. Sweaters and shirts made of wool will also be warm and comfortable on a Chihuahua.

Clothes That Fit

It's important to make sure the clothes you buy for your Chihuahua fit properly. Choosing shirts or other clothes that are too small are uncomfortable to wear and restricting to a tiny Chihuahua. On the other hand, choosing clothes too large can make it difficult for your Chihuahua to move around in. Clothes that fit should conform around the shape of your Chihuahua, not stretching or hanging loose.

When you dress your Chihuahua up in something new for the first time, don't try to force it on them. Be gentle, take your time, and if it doesn't fit, don't try to make it.
