It depends on the season. In the winter Chloe almost always has something on- she gets cold very easily, even in the house- so she will wear little cotton dresses around the house, hoodies when we go out, and pjs at bedtime. Armani doesnt get cold easily so he will get a hoodie or jacket when we go out. In the summer I dress them a lot less because they don't need the clothes and it is less hassle for me if they are naked because then I don't deal with knots and such. I will dress them on special occasions in the summer though, like Chloe gets a birthday dress each year on her birthday and Armani has this cool Hawaiian shirt.
Mostly, I dress them out of necessity when they are cold- but that doesn't mean they can't be cute outfits at the same time. haha! They have accumulated a pretty extensive wardrobe even though they don't spend that much time dressed. I prefer simple cotton outfits because that is what they seem most comfortable in- they love their hoodies, t-shirts, cotton dresses, etc. but if I try anything too elaborate on them they will complain until I take it off. My two won't even let me put bows in their hair or anything.
If they complain about something or seem uncomfortable I take it off immediately and do not try again, so the only things they wear are things that they actually like wearing. I have said it before, but I always find it funny that people say how horrible it is to dress dogs, that it is abuse, etc. and then turn around and buy these huge leather collars with spikes all over them and stuff- I can only imagine that is way more uncomfortable for a dog then a hoodie or t-shirt.
