1. Bandanas and Scarves

Matching your rabbit is very easy and one of the easiest ways you can do this is with their bandanas. Soft, lightweight, and safe, they’re a good bet for rabbits that haven’t worn clothes before. It could be a stylish neck scarf for you or for your bunny a smaller version tied around their neck. Have you picked out colors or patterns consistent with the season– maybe bright colors for spring or the warm cozy shades for fall?

2. Hats and Headbands

If you want to add spice to your look with a playful twist, how? Then try matching hats or headbands! Hats might be fun for photo shoots, but they make a cute statement. A great example of this is a sunhat for you and a small version for your rabbit when you go out to an outdoor picnic and take a cute picture together. Matter of fact keep your rabbit comfortable and the hat lightweight.​ (Exotic Animal Supplies)

3. Matching Sweaters

For matched sweaty sweaters, they’re a cozy and fun idea for colder weather. Or, for a DIY project, you can knit matching sweaters for you and your rabbit, and there are rabbit sized sweaters online. The sweater you give your rabbit's sweater just needs to be loose enough to let the rabbit move freely but snug enough not to fall off. (Exotic Animal Supplies)​ (Pet Rabbits)

4. Jewelry and Charms

Instead, rather elegantly, match your jewelry. There are rabbit themed necklaces, rings or bracelets that you can buy for yourself, and if you already have a rabbit you can attach a little charm to their harness. Match the rabbit motif pendants so you can dress your bunny without having to really dress up. I think it’s a cute way of showing that you love your pet in a minimalist way.

How to select for your rabbit safely

Adorable as matching accessories are, you need to keep your rabbit’s safety and comfort in mind. Here’s how to ensure that your bunny enjoys the fashion as much as you do:

1. Pick Rabbit Friendly Materials

Beware of sensitive skin, overheating, and that rabbits are prone to overheating here, not only that we should pick soft, breathable fabrics. Go with lightweight cotton or related fabrics that will not annoy your bunny. Synthetic fabrics that create discomfort or trap too much heat should, if possible, be avoided especially if the accessory will be on for a long time. (Exotic Animal Supplies)

2. Prioritize Comfort Over Style

Here is always to make sure that you accessory is the right fit. If the collar or harness is too tight, it will constrict the neck, making natural movement difficult; likewise, if it is too big, it will slip off or entangle itself on things. If your rabbits aren’t quite used to wearing accessories, start small with simple bandana or harness and gradually give them more complicated outfits. (Pet Rabbits)

3. Avoid Over-Accessorizing

Curious rabbits are prone to getting robbed into loose or dangling accessories. Always avoid using items with long strings, such as bells or other parts that could get caught on anything. Minimize the workload on them: use simple, streamlined accessories that won’t get into their way during playtime. (The Costume Shop)

Style yourself like your Rabbit.

If you’re coordinating with your bunny you do not have to wear rabbit head to toe. The key is subtle coordination, and here are some fun ways to achieve it:

1. Play with Colors

One way to achieve a matching look is to match colors and colors can be either from your own home or from the house you would like to be similar in look to. Those of us whose rabbits have brown fur might match their coloring with colors of the earth, or choose to complement their color with earth toned clothes or accessories. White or black rabbits? Go for monochrome looks! Bunnies with lighter fur can be cute in pastel hues​.

2. Accessorize Smartly

A matching bandana for your rabbit and a scarf for you are such a simple and cute way to match. You are also able to coordinate hats, sunglasses, or even matching bags! For photoshoots or special outings, do a YOLO and pair your outfits’ color palette or theme (flower prints for spring or festive pattern for holidays).

3. Seasonal Themes

Given accessories that can match up with specific holidays or seasons add to the memorability of your photos. For example Halloween costumes (good rabbit ones, aside) or Christmas time red and green decorations to stand out from all the other bunnies out there.
