Dressing Kids Alike.

[nickle730]

I'm surprised so many people dislike it so strongly! I think it's cute, if the kids are happy then go for it! I prefer same outfit, different colour but exactly the same wouldn't bother me either. My two are different gender but I'll put them both in say, blue trackies and a Kathmandu fleece (blue for him, green for her). They love it and if it's a trackies and jumper sort of day, why wouldn't we all wear trackies and a jumper?? If I'm wearing trackie dacks and a polar fleece jacket as well does that make us all matchy/matchy??? Aahh... sh*t... now I'm gonna worry every time I dress us!!!!

I'm not a fan of it either, just not for me. But hey, we all do things differently.....doesn't really matter.
There is almost a 3yr age gap between my two boys, so I shop in two different sections anyway, but I prob wouldn't get them matching stuff. I like them to have their own things along with what they like or their individual personalities. I actually do the opposite and never get them anything the same, trying to think now & I don't think I've got them anything matching, hmmm might have a look.

My girls often have similar outfits on, I think they have one or two outfits exactly the same - but I rarely put the entire outfit on them at the same time - I mix it up a bit! But their outfits are usually complimentary

A few times I have matched my outfit with one of theirs - totally unintentionally! It doesn't really phase me though, who cares what other people think!

I personally wouldn't do it & I don't like it when I see it unless they are twins - then I think it is ok/cute but only when they are little.

There is 18 mths btw my sister & I and she disliked getting the same clothes as me - my mum even used to make clothes exactly the same for us! (I can recall corduroy brown knickerbockers! lol) Looking back now I guess she thought it would save for argument - I don't think she would have thought it looked good/cute as my mum is not that type of person. Relatives also used to buy us the same clothes, toys everything.

My sister & I dress very differently now, probably since we were teenagers. I think we have bought a couple of tops the same recently but make sure if we are going out together that we both don't wear it!

I once saw this family get professional photos done & all three girls were in the same pink tops & jeans - I cringed.

I laugh everytime I walk in to my IL's house, they have a family photo taken back in the 80's and both DH, his brother AND father have matching FLORAL shirts on.......what was my MIL thinking!!
