I dress my kindergarten twin girls coordinating for many family pictures. For school photos, in the future I will try to coordinate (including my 2 sons). The clothing colors in the pictures from this year don’t look good together!

Hi, I have triplets (girls). At school they told me never to dress them alike. They say they should have their own personalities so they should live like three different persons, not like one big group.

Hi
I know it is late but for the future-
I think it is good for the memory to dress them similar but not at the same thing.
I wonder- what did you do?

Love your blog, keep writing!

I don’t have twins, but my girls are very close in age. I do dress them alike (or at least similar colors) because I want the pictures to match on my wall, LOL!! I had pictures up for 6 months that had one girl in a Red holiday dress and the other in purple summer dress – it was terrible, LOL! Now they always coordinate :-)

I know I am very late to answer this, but in the future:
We color coordinate, but everyone has their own clothing/style.

I have four children, two boys and two girls. The girls actually do love being dressed alike, and on special events, like weddings or birthdays, I get the best photos from that! The boys – twins, 2 years old and not very much alike – are usually dressed in whatever is clean enough to be worn, but when there´s a special occasion, I like to dress them alike, too.

A good compromise is using similar stuff, like buying the same jacket or sweater, but in two different colurs. That looks sweet, too.

Thanks for all of the opinions, everyone!

We ended up dressing them similarly, but not totally alike. However, they came home with a note saying that there was a misunderstanding between the school and the photo company, so picture day is rescheduled for the end of November! LOL Oh well! We’ll try again then. Thanks again for your thoughts on the matter!

I say dress them alike or similar. In a photo of all of you it looks best if everyone has on the same color tones and stuff. Make the photo more uniform and in the individual photos if you put them on the walls it would look pleasing to the eye. My boys aren’t twins but have always had similuar clothing and when we would go somewhere, I would dress them similuar so we could tell they were ours. Now that they are teenagers they will still choose same clothes on their own, which is quite funny but not planned. It doesn’t change who they are individually. So go ahead and do it.

Definitely dress them alike since you don’t do it regularly. It’s not cheesy at all, except to those judgmental folks with an individuality complex. I doubt you’re trying to make them into carbon copy robots. A little coordinating never hurt anyone. I’m sorry if I sound snippy but as the mother of twins who certainly did dress her children alike for photos and other special events when they were younger I take issue with the comment above. As if dressing them alike on occasion keeps them from being who they are.

Cheesey, always. Let them be people in relation to themselves, not others.
