Owning a dog is not for the faint of heart, but neither should it mean skimping on one’s signature style.

Thanks to today’s fido fashionistas and top dog accoutrement designers, your dog’s lifestyle can not only compliment your own, but elevate it to a whole new level of cool.

When your sidekick needs some time outside, why not provide him with digs every bit as up-to-date and well-appointed as your own? From miniature Cape Cod houses to hip vintage airstream trailers, your dog is sure to love his funky backyard abode. With some designs featuring multi-levels, multiple rooms, and built-in feeding/water fixtures, you can rest easy knowing your four-legged friend is snoozing away the hours in style.

While many opt for truly editorial-worthy constructions, you can achieve your own minimalistic cool on a more subtle scale. As any on-trend gentleman knows, sometimes less is decidedly more.

Just as you wouldn’t want to settle for any old house and design, your dog deserves the coolest aspects of what makes you “you.” Selecting a fun, mod pooch pad not only lets your dog share the good vibes, but enjoy a piece of the even-better life. Man’s best friend can also be man’s best and most sincere style statement, so show some love this season with a dog house you just might wish you occupied yourself.
