Outfits to dress your dog up in are a dime a dozen these days. Think of a specific holiday or a weather condition, and it’s a guarantee that you can easily find an entire range of pooch-sized garb. But what if you want to think outside the box and really push the envelope of canine costuming? Well, you can start by taking a lead from these Internet mavericks who will be celebrating National Dress Up Your Pet Day with some truly left-field ensembles.

Always remember, Hello Kitty doesn’t discriminate, and you shouldn’t either!

Sci-fi nerd dogs unite! This Star Wars-themed costume wins with its looks, although functionality might admittedly be an issue.

I think this Chihuahua is meant to be dolled up as Lady Gaga — although I’d like to think the conical (ahem) harness is a nod to Madonna’s Blond Ambition tour.
