On the days they pick their own outfits, their choices are even more distinct. There is only one wardrobe which is something that I may change in the future but they often go back to their favourite pieces time and time again. When I shop, I often buy items for a specific twin and tell them which piece is for who straight away. Just like for the parent, choosing matching outfits is the the easy option for the child too. Even the smallest difference such as socks can become a big deal.
The older they get, the more intertwined their perception of what being a twin is with their outfits. Yet you are certainly showcasing them as one unit.
Every child wants to be seen as special, especially by their parents. I know this will be a contentious issue that many parents of multiples will strongly oppose. However, I too feel strongly about twindividuality and dressing them differently is just the start. We call it our twin power! My twin and have spent most of our lives now being 40 fighting to get people to let us be ourselves and that it it ok to to and be both!
My twin and i are opposite on many things but the same on the other 50 percent! So sometime I wear a jeans skirt while she wears jeans but same everything else! I let my girls make there own decision on clothes while we are at home and for bed but i buy same of everything so they have the choice! When we go places sometimes they pic but most often they choose the same!! But the snap is actually of identical twins Emma O'Neill and Catherine Caudwood, who look so alike even their own boyfriends struggle to tell them apart.
The sisters, from Durham, love turning heads so much that they still co-ordinate their outfits and hair when they go out together - even though they are Seeing double: Twin sisters Catherine left and Emma, both 25, used to fool their school teachers by attending each other's classes instead of their own. Inseparable: Catherine, left, and her twin are 'best friends' and live just five minutes' apart.
Mirror image: The pair are so alike Catherine is seen on the left and Emma on the right they are regularly stopped in the street, and they've now launched an Instagram account. Emma, a technical support worker, said: 'We were always dressed the same when we were young. We would either be in completely matching outfits or I would wear something blue and Catherine would wear the same outfit in pink. The sisters, who live five minutes' away from each other, took advantage of their similarities to swap lessons in school.
Emma said: 'If there was certain classes I didn't want to go to, Catherine would go instead and I would go to hers. We didn't get found out until someone told the teachers.
Sainsbury's worker Catherine added: 'The only thing was that I wore glasses, so Emma had to wear them to pretend to be me. Playing tricks: Emma, left, and Catherine say even their boyfriends struggle to tell them apart. The sisters, seen left in a Snapchat picture, share the same clothes, hairstyles and make-up. They still wear similar outfits to the gym and nights out, and strangers are so stunned they sometimes stop the pair on the street. Catherine added: 'We are often told our mannerisms are the same, which I think is why people find it hard to tell us apart.
Emma said: 'When our mother remarried we were both bridesmaids and I was dating my now-husband at the time. Twice as nice: The sisters were dressed in matching outfits as children as still enjoy it. Angelic: Emma, left, and Catherine, right, look adorable in matching green dresses. He just kept his hands in his pockets and his head down throughout the wedding. I did however, store all of them in my head as possible opt ions.
Especially the last one. Or worse still, attend the wrong wedding. One of the more practical solutions for avoiding mix ups was to dress them differently.
My wife was all for this as it meant she could buy twice as many new clothes. And n obody needs that. If I ge t it wrong, guilt fills me quicker than my sons fill their nappies. At le ast I think it was him that told me this.
