Weddings, christenings and the family photograph are where a dog usually ends up wearing something, and a tuxedo bandana is the least fussy way to do it. It sits like an ordinary triangle bandana on an adjustable buckle collar, with a bow tie at the throat, so your dog wears one thing rather than a jacket, a collar and a hat they will have shaken off within the minute.

There is a practical side to it that gets overlooked. The triangle of fabric hangs exactly where a dog drools, so it catches dribble that would otherwise soak into a chest ruff, which is useful for the breeds that leave a wet patch on your trousers. The buckle collar means it goes on and comes off without untying anything, and the fabric is soft enough to sit against the neck for a long afternoon before going in the wash.

• Triangle bandana with a bow tie at the throat
• Fastens on its own adjustable buckle collar
• Bow available in black, blue or red
• Doubles as a practical drool bib
• Packed size ranges from 17 to 25cm by 14 to 20cm depending on size
• Weighs between 31g and 58g by size

Two things worth knowing. Also, a bandana on a buckle collar is dress-up, not walking kit: never clip a lead to it, and take it off when your dog is left unsupervised.

Who it's for: Dogs with a wedding to attend, and drooly dogs whose owners want chests and chins kept tidier the rest of the year.
