Encouraging individuality while dressing your twinsOne of the largest dilemmas that the parents of twins face, is whether or not to dress their children in identical clothing. This is especially true for parents of same-gender twins, or identical twins. While most people seem to expect to see twins that show a striking resemblance to one another, including their sense of fashion, it is quite the contrary. The major question would have to be, is whether dressing twins in similar or coordinating outfits, is whether or not it could have a possible detrimental effect on their children’s development as individual people. This week's top selling alternative infant attire and gifts:
While it may be alright during infancy, and the toddler years for the parent to dress their children in coordinating outfits, it is important to allow your children to choose their own clothes within reason to allow them to mold themselves into their individual person. You shouldn’t have to wait long until your children can voice their opinion on this issue, and you can rest at ease once you allow them to bloom into their own person. Why is it that parents choose to do this? Well, it is generally the easier (or lazier) means of dressing their children. Most parents (even of just one) are exhausted, however doubling or possibly tripling the numbers can cause the parent to become frazzled. When choosing clothing, it allows the parents to think less about fashion, and get the shopping done for both children at once. Ultimately, there is no true answer for this question. As long as the parent is willing to meet the needs of the children, if the situation arises that they do not feel comfortable with dressing alike. However, if you are dead set on matching a matching pair. Please consider coordinating their clothing. Allowing for the same styles, and shapes of clothes in different colors. Generally even infants will respond to colors differently, allowing you to decipher which color would be best on your infant. Using accessories to tie the outfits together, such as matching hats, shoes, or even shirts isn’t necessarily a negative aspect, however it is still important to embrace your child’s individuality. If you are one of the parents that would like to poke fun at this “tradition” there are plenty of alternative stores that offer sassy One pieces, or tee shirts that will allow you to get a good laugh. However, you can expect to pay a bit more for these fashion forward One pieces and tees. Sublime baby clothes |
