Twinning with your son or daughter has been a hit trend for years. It's pure joy with little ones and equally fun as they grow older.
The term 'twinning' originates from English, derived from 'twins.' In fashion, it refers to two or more people dressing in matching outfits. This can be a parent with their child—mother and daughter, father and son—or even couples and entire families.
Many parents love seeing their mini-me in matching clothes. It creates adorable photos and clearly shows your family bond. Twinning is simple: pair jeans with a solid-color shirt, and you're set.
Options are endless—matching printed T-shirts, mini versions of dresses, or for boys, leather jackets and biker gear. For family twinning, choose custom prints, unified styles, or colors. Perfect for family portraits or pregnancy announcements.
Recently, I decided to twin with my 18-year-old daughter, who often borrows my clothes. To embrace it, we sought matching pieces she'd love—similar but not identical.
We discovered Zendee feel good fashion, a charming webshop specializing in sporty, retro-inspired clothing. Timeless and trend-proof, it's made from soft (organic) fabrics, prioritizing comfort and affordability. Produced in small batches in Ede and Arnhem workshops, with minimal outsourcing to Poland.
Finding the perfect match took time. She wanted dresses; I preferred not. We settled on coordinated skirts and identical sweaters. Our first order arrived in the wrong size and style, but Zefanja at Zendee made exchanges seamless. Now, we love wearing them.
Even though my daughter usually avoids matching her mom, she embraced this skirt and sweater set.
We chose the Emma blue surf skirt (hers in a different shade, same style) and the Elva black jogging sweater. They pair beautifully, feel incredibly soft, and work year-round—layer with boots and tights for winter. We're thrilled and captured over 100 photos during our mother-daughter bonding session.
