From Winter Warmth to Spring Breeze
Here in Tasmania, as the seasons change from Spring to Autumn and then to Winter, the mornings get progressively more chilly. Gigi and Bloom take longer to get up in the morning preferring to snuggle in blankets near the heater. These times are perfect to refresh your petite pooch’s wardrobe with styles that work across changing temperatures.
Here’s five tips on how to get the most out of your Gigi & Bloom superfine merino dog jumper in the change of seasons:
1. Layer for Mornings and Evenings
The temperature swing between morning walks and sunny afternoons can be more pronounced as temperatures get cooler. Because of this why not pair your pup’s knit with a lightweight rain coat in the mornings or if it's even cooler you can add a lighter puffer jacket on top. Gigi loves to do this in winter and it looks super stylish. When you get home your pup can wear the knit on its own, or simply take it off for perfect temperatures once the day warms up.
2. Add a Bloomette for Spring Charm
A customised Bloomette wool flower instantly updates your dog’s look for spring. You can match it to the knit for a tonal style or you may want to choose a contrasting colour to add a playful touch.
3. Style for Outdoor Moments
Picnics, café visits, walks around your local area or even weekend markets, your Gigi & Bloom knit is perfect for all of them. If you feel like a coordinated moment you can match your pup’s knit to one of your own scarves, a cardigan, or even a bag in a similar tone. Twinning with your pooch is in!
4. Sleep sweater free
At night time there's no need for your dog to wear its jumper as the house is normally warm enough or they have ample snuggle factor in their beds. It's best this way also because you don't want the m waking up half in and half out of their knit. It can also stretch and go out of shape during the night so better to fold it up before bed ready to be worn the next day.
5. Care Between Seasons
Merino wool is the most fabulous fibre because it is naturally breathable, so it works well even as the days get milder. When it’s time to put the knit away, remember to fold it (never hang it) and store in a breathable cotton bag to keep it fresh for next winter.
