People and Pets – Hipster Fashion Trends
It’s difficult to follow the latest hipster fashion trends when you’re a pet owner. How to make a fashion statement with a pet, without looking ridiculous and over-done? And how to coin that carefree and indifferent attitude that’s vital for hipster fashion, when you have to take care of another being?
The Ultimate Hipster Fashion Trendy Pet: the Stray Dog
No other pet embodies freedom like a mutt. Not too big – hipsters are by definition urban, so you don’t want a sheep dog – and trained to walk on your side. Leashes and muzzles are not hip, no matter how hard you try to decorate or color them.
You can make your dog follow the latest hipster fashion trends with a cool bandana with an appropriate message (“Humans stink”, “I freak out cats” and so on) or with a nice design, some skeletons, or maybe a picture of your favorite artist for the week.
If you go for a smaller breed, like a chihuahua or a dachshund, be prepared to stress the auto-ironic side, which is an important component of the hipster fashion trends. Let me just warn you that this is not easy, once you get attached to the dog – and you will get attached to it. No matter how cool it is to make fun of others, it’s always difficult to make fun of someone you care about.
The Natural Hipster Fashion Trendsetters – The Cats
Cat owners have it easy: not only you don’t have to do anything to a cat to make it hipster, but you can spend a few days taking notes from your cat on what are the latest hipster fashion trends. Cats are natural hipsters, because they don’t like anything that’s popular – well, they don’t like anything, period – and because they don’t care.
And because cats are so cool, it’s quite easy for the owners to proclaim their love for the pets and still follow the latest hipster fashion trends: that “Hello, Kitty” thing is just begging for a sarcastic retort on a t-shirt. And then there’s the Cheshire Cat, the ultimate icon of British coolness.
Cat Birds Fit into the Hipster Fashion Trends?
Have you thought about giving your bird a stylish home, one that all other hipsters will envy? The latest hipster fashion trend is a birdcage shaped to mock an iconic building, for instance, the Taj Mahal; or maybe you can decorate with a sign to mimic neon lights (but not with actual neon, that’s not healthy for the bird).
Use your imagination and your sense of humor, and your pet will be integrated in the hipster community in no time. Just make sure that whatever you do is both healthy and comfortable for the animal.
