To dress them alike or not...

Ours will be identical. (Don't know the sex yet). We're not planning on having them match at all. I'll make sure they don't clash though and do as I do with my other kids and have them in a similar style of clothes maybe or similar colors, but not the same print or anything like that.

 

I have a few outfits that match for my b/g twins, but one is pink and one is blue. So for the most part, no, they won't be matching, but I may get some pictures done with them.

 

I know that I will do both. I will sometimes dress them alike, but probably more often they will be dressed differently. I have received a lot of hand me downs which I will definitely use, but I'm sure I will also get lots of matching outfits, which I will also put to good use. As others have said, dress them how you want while you can. Eventually they will be 4, like my son, and refuse to put on anything that matches. Ugh.

 

its so much fun dressing them alike, i would suggest if your having id to get them each a onesie with there name on it.... i love them...when familly gets together, the name is right on the shirt so i dont have to be asked who is who all the time, it gets soooo annoying i have ones that say hello my name is kobe\kaden they are so cute definately my fav present.

 

I prefer coordinating outfits. They have a few full-match things but it's because either someone bought it as a gift or because I loved the outfit enough to buy it even though there weren't two versions. They share a supply of undershirts and socks but with everything else, they know what belongs to whom and they will correct you if you get it wrong. When I buy them something new, I put both outfits out for them and ask which one they like. We haven't had a fight yet and once they've chosen, a swap is rare. I feel like this is a happy balance between individuality and matching twin fun. I also have only one choice to make for outfits in the morning since everything is in pairs in the closet (and one choice is much better for someone like me who has a horrible time deciding on anything in the morning...) Anyway, matching clothes won't last forever and I have no delusions about that but why not enjoy it while it lasts?

 

I usually dress my girlies alike because I think it is cute... AND because everyone bought us stuff in pairs. I guess I still wouldnt HAVE to dress them alike anyway but I like to. Plus it really helps me remember what is left in the drawer and what is dirty. I always know what longsleeve/pants outfits or shorts outfits I have and I always know I have appropriate clothes for the weather for both kiddos clean. Make sense??
