How to Wear the Dog Ears & Tail Set
Shape, put on, strap in. Here's how to set up the dog ears and curly tail so they look right together, with styling ideas for every color.
Set Up in Four Steps
- Shape the ears. Bend each ear gently to the angle that suits your character.
- Put on the headband. Slide it over your hair or wig, and check it with glasses or clips.
- Attach the tail. Fasten the waist strap, then set the curl of the tail.
- Test the whole look. Walk, sit and turn in both pieces at home before your event.

Styling Tips
- Match the ears to your hair: Beige with blonde, Brown with brunette, Black or White with a matching wig.
- Show the tail by wearing it over a skirt, or tuck the strap under a jacket hem so only the curl shows.
- Floppy ears tipped forward read sweet; ears angled out read playful.
Care and Storage
Brush the faux fur gently with a soft brush. Keep both pieces dry and away from heat, and store them together without crushing the fur. For more on keeping a faux fur tail neat, read our faux fur tail care guide.
