Did u/ will u dress the twins alike?

I think I will in the beginning (assuming same gender). Just curious what others have done/ plan to do?

Nope, never have. I wouldn't have if they were the same sex either (identical or fraternal).

not planning on it. My dad is an identical twin and still talks about how he and his brother had to dress alike - he hated it.

That is my plan. Alike but different colors n not often. Plus they will be small and as they get older that will change.

I did for the most part. Any outfit that had a boy and girl version, they had. It was even better if it came in pink and blue!

I always said I wouldn't do it until my boys came along. When they were really little I dressed them the same. Now I usually put them in similar outfits different color.

I never dress them alike except for like today they both have on my first St. Patricks day outfits Chat Icon Chat Icon . 99% of the time I try to do same outfits different color or outfits that kind of coordinate. Mine are fraternal but I would do the same if they were identical.

i always dress mine the same. I will do this while they are little and then probably after they turn 2/3, they can wear similar stuff.

I rarely dressed them exactly alike, but I was given tons of identical stuff, so what I could not return I would occassionally. I really prefer to do coordinating outfits. Now at 4 they argue over the clothes so they wear the same t-shirts more so then not. I will try to do different pants, but at this point they pick what they wear so if they want to match so be it. My kids are also different weights and different sizes so it makes it easier to tell them apart, well for most at least.

Coordinating outfits only. People often buy them the same outfits thinking I dress them alike. I don't mind, its still free clothes

Chat Icon exactly. If there is a gift receipt though I'll usually keep one and exchange the other for something that coordinates Chat Icon

My girls were always dressed "the same but different" up until they were 3 years old. At 3 they said they didnt want to be dressed the same any more so I stopped.

Basically it would be the same outfit only different colors. Sometimes it would be the same outfit only one would be in a skirt the other shorts..etc.

Mostly different, but I am sure people are going to buy matching outfits for them. I don't really care when they are babies but when they get older they will be dressed differently for sure.

Re: Did u/ will u dress the twins alike?

I am having Chat Icon Chat Icon , so it wouldn't be as easy to do. I never really wanted to, though. We have a few sets of twins in my school system that dress alike and it drives me nuts...I can never tell them apart!
It is cute when they are tiny, though...
