While we can wax lyrical about the importance of a capsule wardrobe, sometimes you just need to add a bit of fun to your everyday outfits. And what could be more fun than a jumper with one of your favourite furry friends on? Because if you’re a pet owner, or you just love animals, you’ll know how much joy dogs and cats can bring to our lives.

This is why House of Sunny’s latest collection is inspired by some of the most-loved dog breeds – from dachshunds and dalmatians to pugs. And how did the east London brand launch its collection? With a shoot featuring the dogs in question as the stars of the show, of course. Prepare for cuteness overload in 3, 2, 1…

House of Sunny’s bestselling ‘tripper’ cardigan  has already been worn by the likes of Gigi and Bella Hadid, and it’s always a firm favourite with fashion insiders. So much so, new designs often sell out quickly – and even more so with the sustainable brand only dropping small quantities to avoid waste. Also, in a dachshund and poodle version, you’re bound to find a style to suit you (or your pet).

Sunny Williams, creative director, says: “This collection holds a special place in our hearts as a vegan brand, with a want to spark innocence and pure emotion in the same way as our beloved pet dogs.” 

With £5 from each purchase also going to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, there’s even more reason to add one of these to your winter wardrobe. 

We know the ‘Do you prefer dogs or cats?’ question can divide opinion, so to avoid any accusations of bias, we also want to let you know that cat knits are also a thing for autumn/winter 2024. With everyone from Acne Studios to Oliver Bonas creating iterations this season, you can pick your pet team and wear it loud and proud. 

Dog and cat lovers rejoice, these are the best pet jumpers and cardigans that will liven up even the dullest of days. Matching the jumper to your pet is optional, but very much advised.
