Twinning or matching outfits: How to get it right

Isn't it adorable to see friends or cousins do the same outfit? Regardless of age and relationships, we're witnessing the rise of the trend of matching or twinning. To get this game right, here are some thoughts to keep in mind:
Keep it affordable: Make sure to keep the outfit affordable. Buying in bulk usually allows you to get a discount. You can check wholesale places for cheaper rates. Memberships in stores also avail discounts and hence explore these options. Getting the fits at a low rate allows everyone involved in the plan to enjoy themselves without bearing much financial burden.
Incorporate preferences: A matching outfit plan is a celebration of mutual love. Hence it is important to ensure everyone's preferences are incorporated. Discarding opinions and staunchly imposing plans will only add pressure on others instead of being a fun plan.
Farha Tasneem, currently working in a research organisation, says that she picked up casual outfits for twinning with her friend as both prioritise comfort while choosing outfits. "Honestly, I saw an ad and thought of ordering. It was fun reliving childhood traditions with a friend. Also felt like the twins from 'The Shining' (movie)," she adds.
Pick the right occasion: While you can go for any day to match outfits, choosing occasions will give you the perfect celebratory mood. Religious or cultural festivals can be the right occasions to match with your friends or cousins.
Tahsin Rifat, a student at the University of Dhaka, says, "We cousins used to match our dresses in childhood, but that didn't happen for a long time now. This idea stuck while watching a reel, and we got designer clothes made this Eid. We woke up early that day, got ready and clicked many pictures. I remember getting a lot of compliments from everyone."
Pick timeless pieces: This outfit will always remain special and hold memories. Pick classic outfits to make sure you can relive this anytime with your mates. Clothes which are in a transitory trend often become unwearable after a while. Often that creates a problem in recreating the matching again.
Picking fits worn regardless of trends will give you a broader spectrum of time and occasions. That way, you can twin often, and on each occasion, you all will stand out.
Accessorise well: Clothes only make a good outfit when they have the right accessories to complement them. Getting good jewellery, shoes or bags to accompany the outfit will accentuate the look.
Muntasir Mahir, a school-going student, says, "Once my father, brother, and I got matching Panjabis for Eid. We got similar accessories and sandals to complete the look. We received a lot of admiration everywhere we went."
Indeed, with the right planning and execution, you can perfectly match your loved ones. Ultimately, it is a tribute to your bonds, so remember to celebrate the occasion wholeheartedly.
