8. Idepet Pirate Outfit

10. Rubie's Ewok Hoodie

The Rubie's Ewok Hoodie (around $13) is an adorable costume for smaller breeds looking to wow the crowd at a party or on a morning walk. However, if your pup overheats easily, you'll want to save this outfit for chillier days to avoid discomfort.

Adjustable ties for hood
May not work for floppy ears
May need modification for large pets
