Believe it or not, animal costumes are not a 21st century concept. Dogs have been wearing outfits way before millennials showed up. Louis XI, the King of France from 1423 to 1483, had a greyhound named Cherami who wore a red velvet collar with 20 pearls and 11 rubies. In 1833, Queen Victoria had a King Charles spaniel named Dash who she dressed up in a scarlet jacket and blue trousers all the time.
This year, around 31 million pet owners will be dressing their furry friends in ridiculous (but oh so cute) Halloween costumes so prepare to see a whole lot of wings, wigs and capes on your Instagram feed. If you’re looking to get in on the action, Amazon sells fun costumes suitable for cats and dogs of all sizes. Here are 12 of our favourite finds.
