MIL got us all matching sweatshirts with family name on them.<br /> Otherwise, nope. At most DH both wear olive shirts at the same time, or tie dye at the beach or festivals.<br /> I did dress up my dogs, and myself for pirates festival once </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet/page/2#post-2081411 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 15:45:17 +0000 Carla 2081411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah!

So the only way I can match them is to wear a faux fur. I don't have a white faux fur, but my blush one, is quite a fun match - without trying to be too close to the dogs.</p> <p>My husband, son and I don't dress in a matching style. Sometimes we may have colours that co-ordinate, but that is a happy coincidence rather than anything planned. DH and son have more similar styles of dress to me. It is easier for me to match the dogs!</p> <p>Photo of Bijou aka "the Fluffy Monster" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet#post-2081391 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 13:14:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2081391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to get Hannah Andersson and similar matching outfits for my son and me when he was little, generally brightly colored things that were standouts on their own anyway. These days we don't go for the full-on MATCH, but we often wear coordinating styles and colors. It seems to me that he sometimes waits to see what I'm wearing before picking out his shirt. Shhh--he'd be embarrassed if that got out! </p> <p>When we were little, my mom made several matching outfits for my older sister and me. By the time I was 5 and my little sister came along, she was done with that. I can think of one occasion where she sewed something for all three of us--long cotton dresses. We fit together, but did not match. </p> <p><div><br /> </div><div>If my parents can visit, one thing I'd like to do is go to a market where we can wander around together and tasting things. Because my dad's memory is so very poor these days, I would get us all something matching. Maybe just T-shirts like people do for family reunions, maybe something a little more exciting. I hate thinking of him as a confused old man, but the truth is that anything that helps people identify us as the party he's with might be helpful. <br /> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet#post-2081366 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 05:22:46 +0000 Anonymous 2081366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At bing outfits for couples were such a big thing I the 70’s (?) that I avoid matching family or pets. I suspect that families that look matchy are stressed and unhappy. Probably one person picks everyone’s clothes. My sons did not want their clothes to look like they went together let alone be matchy with anyone else.<br /> Because of a furry dog, I avoid fabrics that show and hold on to hair. The dog does not tolerate wearing more than her collar and a leash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet#post-2081346 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 02:51:54 +0000 Jaime 2081346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, as mother of twin daughters I was adamantly against their matching or me matching them. I wanted them each to develop their own identity. I must say I got my wish.

Recently I observed/tried to help young couple shopping for clothes for the engagement photo ( it suppose to be done somewhere in the nature/or in the woods ). The young lady was all over place looking for a particular shade of blue for herself and young man was stoically soldiering on/trying all the shirts/sweaters/tops she was bringing for him.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet#post-2081342 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 01:34:23 +0000 nemosmom 2081342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>We had matching tshirts once for a vacation and look absolutely ridiculous in photos.&nbsp; I think it looks nice to coordinate (not match, but harmonize?) for a portrait, but we haven't done one of those in years....</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matching-clothes-with-your-family-or-your-pet#post-2081340 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 01:26:30 +0000 slim cat 2081340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet - thank you for a fun picture - can't resist smiling at the little girls!

But I don’t think we ever matched my mom.<br /> Same with my girls. I recall them having a number of matching outfits but we didn’t do Mommy daughter looks. Or Dad!</p> <p>One Christmas that we spent at my aunt’s home in the mountains, she had made matching sweatshirts for the entire family.
