2006 Best and Worst-Dressed Dogs

Best:

Chachi:

Chachi exudes effortless outback cool. This outfit is sharp and utilitarian, full of character without looking ridiculous. The colors are in and the 3/4 length sleeves impart casual chic.

Elvis:

Now this is the way to party. Elvis looks festive but not ridiculous. This is the way to celebrate your special day without looking like a fool.

Honker:

Sometimes you just want to show off your heritage. Honker looks happy and fashionable in a signature tartan kilt and pompom hat. He's sweeter than a piece of shortbread.

Taco:

Going to the movies? Playing football with some friends? Or just looking fly walking down the street? Taco keeps warm with simplicity, sophistication, and a cozy fur hood.

Shaggy:

If it's good enough for Clooney, it's good enough for us.

Jet:

We love playing dress-up. This bee selection is a good choice for Jet's size, plus the sweeping away of the ears off his face takes years off. It's fun, it's flirty. We're buzzing about it!

Squashy:

This is certainly a daring choice, and not one we'd recommend for most breeds. But Squashy's toned physique, classic hair and proud attitude helps him carry off this minimalist yet provocative selection.

Worst:

Tinker:

This is a big shiny teal mess. The main problem with this outfit is that it's unclear what it's for. Power walking at the mall? A monsoon? This disaster is unflattering and simply unpleasant to look at. Just goes to show that French Dogs do sometimes look fat.

Noodles:

Oy. This one is tough because sometimes we worry if Noodles has simply hired a bad stylist or he's off his rocker. The fake hands look is strictly Halloween, yet he's wearing this here on an everyday basis. We are all about black pride, but if you're going to grow an Afro, at least maintain it properly. No power to this pooch.

Cassius

We love preppy chic but if you're going to pull off a polo, know your size and your color. This unflattering option would make Ralph Lauren cringe.

Vicky

You might be a bitch, but that doesn't mean you have to dress like a slut. Vicky, this party girl ensemble is getting old. How about putting on a pair of pants for once?

Cairo

How many times do we have to say it? No. Purple. Faux. Fur. EVER.

Harvey:

We were on the fence with this one. Harvey's mesmerizing costume certainly casts a spell. But in the end its ostentatiousness simply overtakes the fun spirit. Leave this one to the birds.

Flippy:

Flippy, Flippy, Flippy. Pink polka dots are bad. Scrunchies are horrible. Put them together and you've got a hot ass mess. We almost feel sorry for you, but we're too busy hating this pathetic attempt at matching.

Patrick:

The look on his face says it all. If you're not comfortable in your clothes, we're not comfortable looking at them.
