Urgh. I don’t and I don’t know anyone who dresses in coordinating Boden

That's bonkers

Noooo, not for us!!! I even hate the matching Xmas pj sets people seem to like . Though seeing this cardi I can imagine a little girl would look adorable in a matching one 🙈 www.boden.com/products/chunky-chevron-knitted-jacket-multi-zig-zag

I have dreamed about matching hoodies when our kids were borbln, then realised how quickly little kids grow out of clothes, haha. Would really like matching pyjamas though!

saimport · 09/08/2025 06:25

Awful idea! No kid should be their parents mini me. Hate the expression and anyone who says their kid is their bestie.🤮🤮🤮

And attempt for some cheap models and advertising Boden?

PedroPedroPedro · 10/08/2025 06:06

Matching crocs is as far as we have gone...

RobinTheCavewoman · 10/08/2025 18:24

DD and I had matching saltwaters at one stage. 10 years on and I think she would hate for anything to match!

pushchairprincess · 11/08/2025 07:58

Not for us as a family, I used to love to dress my DC's in the same clothing when they were very young - not so much now, if we are casual it would be white t shirts and shorts - which look similar and co-ordinated, we do have Christmas pyjamas which match but thats it.

Beabeautiful · 12/08/2025 07:57

When they were small I co-ordinated once - and it looked aweful and never dressed them in the same outfit again - I dress them similar - but never the same - even when the MIL buys the same outfit in different sizes then don't wear it at the same time.
we will all wear blue or white or similar but never the same - children are individuals - I'd be interested to see the thoughts of twins on this thread.

I quite like this https://www.boden.com/products/amanda-cord-midi-dress-raw-umber if we were all wearing shades of brown in autumn.

Amanda Cord Midi Dress-Raw Umber

Embrace Amanda as your secret weapon for effortless everyday dressing. The fitted shirt dress style, utility details and midi-length give a polished look while the cotton cord offers easy movement. Add tights and knee-high boots in cooler weather.

For a family photo we have - all in jeans bare foot, and a white t shirt -all with a differing logo -other than that we have done Christmas PJ's but that's about it - We LOVE Boden - but would find it slightly weird to wear matching outfits

DenDenDenise · 12/08/2025 10:07

We co-ordinate for the football -each having a kit, family weddings and holidays (so I can spot the DC's in the hotel gardens) we would dress in blues, red's and browns - but with different clothes but same theme.
When we have brown trousers and jumpers I would go for this https://www.boden.com/products/orla-short-jersey-shirt-dress-cheetah-pop

Orla Short Jersey Shirt Dress-Cheetah Pop

We know you’ll find a print to love with our Orla jersey shirt dress from leopard print and versatile black to playful hearts. Finish it with a belt and a beaming smile.

HobNobAddict · 12/08/2025 10:11

I'd say a similar vibe is us - but my DC's 9 and 12 would disown us if we all wore the same !
Jeans shorts and concert t-shirts for Taylor Swift is as near as we have come for matching recently.
we could wear matching Boden t shirts https://www.boden.com/products/double-layer-scoop-t-shirt-white-1?_pos=24&_sid=26aa85249&_ss=r

if the bottoms were similar

Double Layer Scoop T-shirt-White

A versatile short-sleeve T-shirt to wear with your favourite pair of jeans or tuck into a statement skirt. It’s crafted with a double layer of soft cotton with a hint of stretch.

My DC and their best friend like to dress the same as each other - but would hate to be dressed the same as their sibling - we would have a revolt - it's cute when they are toddlers, but not older children - I don't think I could get mine in Christmas pyjamas.
I do love this cute cardigan https://www.boden.com/products/natalie-embroidered-cardigan-oatmeal-melange-cherry and we could have oat coloured jumpers - but that's as far as we would go

Natalie Embroidered Cardigan-Oatmeal Melange, Cherry

You'll know by now we love to dial up the details. Case in point: this cardigan with its colourful and textured embroidery. It’s made with a soft wool blend to guarantee cosiness as the weather cools.

ButterOllocks · 12/08/2025 14:28

I wear the similar to my sister if we go out - but we are both adults -we would wear a black dress and similar shoes, but cannot see my DD wanting to wear what I wear - we would go for a similar themes - all in trousers, or shorts but that's about as far as my DC's would go with dressing the same.

CoffeeAndStripedtops · 14/08/2025 19:31

We love a bit of matchy-matchy, especially the girls. They wore their beautiful twirly Ariel dresses on a recent trip to Windsor, and received lots of compliments too.

We have had Christmas PJ's and matching shirts for the football, with jeans or shorts, but as for co-ordinating day wear - not really our thing.

lovemyflipflops · 15/08/2025 10:46

I dressed my DC's in the same clothes when they were 2 and 4 yo's but would not dream of dressing them the same again, they would hate it - they are both very different personalities - and their clothing is part of this.
We would all have the same Boden look, and wear t's and shorts in white and blue, but the rest is individual.

Steph4ne · 17/08/2025 03:37

Oh my gosh I cannot WAIT until my baby girl is old enough to get proper mini me matching things! Even if it’s just a jumper like this: https://www.boden.com/products/novelty-jumper-sapling-green-dogs?_pos=9&_sid=5e7fade64&_ss=r
I personally think matching stuff is adorable, enjoy the time when they want to be just like mummy before they grow up and want more space….!
My little girl is 5 months old now, some days we wear similar colours or patterns (often I don’t even realise we’re doing it haha!)… even the dog sometimes matches with his collar too!

Novelty Jumper-Sapling Green Dogs

Any Mini Attenboroughs out there? We’ve woven this cosy cotton jumper just for them, complete with intarsia animal motifs. Pssst… you can match your Mini Me with the adult version, too.

Wow not a thing I would ever consider doing. Very peculiar. Then you have the fact that one Boden outfit is out of our price range so buying say four coordinated ones would never happen. Methinks this has nothing to do with normal life and they are just trying to make a trend so they make more money.
