I just saw a set of twins in town today , wearing identical floral skirts, coloured blouses and purple coats.. Nothing wrong with that you say, well they were in their 70's I would think. I have seen them before in town and they always wear matching outfits. I know it is really nobody's business but their own, but I found it a little cringey.

There's a set of twins where I live who sound like this - similar age and always dressed the same including the bright red lipstick.

Likewise, there's a male set who are a bit younger but always dressed the same and both with long grey hair - I'm probably a bit envious of how long and straight their hair is!

My 74yo dad & his ID twin still take great delight in being mistaken for each other. They don't deliberately coordinate outfits, but their tastes run in similar directions anyway.

I think it's sweet too and I love to see people who don't give a shit what others think, good for them Smile

I think the OP had admitted she was wrong. People who are judging her saying how nasty she must be after seeing one of her posts sound just as nasty. We do not know her, shall we give her the benefit of the doubt?

You took a wrong turn WestEnd, Nethuns is that way --->

Thank you Westend but these people are entitled to their opinion. I admit I may have made an error of judgement. Onwards and upwards.

There are two old boys in my town who wear almost the same clothes, just different colours. I think it's fab!

I did state the first time I saw them

AnneElliott · 08/06/2017 21:57

It is weird. A woman at our workplace used to dress the same as her twin. Both were seriously weird and in their 40s/50s.

I was thinking that HappyFlappy.

I knew some identical twins who dyed and wore their hair the same way, apparently if one did it and it looked good on her then the other one knew it would look good on her.

ShatnersBassoon · 08/06/2017 22:06

I know twin sisters in their 80s who live together in the house they were brought up in. They share clothes, sometimes dress the same but are always at the very least coordinated or wearing the same outfit in a different colour. They're so happy, I can't see anything wrong with it. It makes it harder to spot the evil twin though, when they're dressed the same.

FuckingSausageFingers · 08/06/2017 22:20

Meanie.

It's the one on the left Bassoon.

Always the one on the left. Grin

ShatnersBassoon · 08/06/2017 23:04

It's the one in the wheelchair, actually Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/06/2017 23:48

Is it Ant who always stands on the left? Or Dec? Does that mean Ant's evil?

BashfulClam · 10/01/2022 02:32

DropYourSword · 10/01/2022 04:09
