Twin with your son or daughter

It has been hot for quite some time now:twinning with your son or daughter. That is great fun when your children are small, but can also be great when your children are a bit older.

What is twinning?

Originally, the word twinn comes from English. There it is derived from the word twins which means twins. Because twins often dress the same, the word twinning was coined by the fashion world. You use this word when two people walk around in the same clothes. This can be a mother with her son or daughter, but also a father with his son or daughter. There are even couples who are twins. By the way, twins don't just have to be just the two of you:you can also do this with the whole family.

Twinning with your son or daughter

Many parents like to let their son or daughter walk around in the same clothes as themselves. After all, you see a mini version of yourself. That certainly produces very nice pictures and that way at least everyone knows that you belong together. Twinning is not difficult:you choose both jeans and a plain shirt in the same color and you are actually already twinning.

Of course, the possibilities in this area are endless. For example, opt for T-shirts with a print or a nice dress, one of which is a mini version. Or for a boy:choose a cool leather jacket and go twinning with your son in cool biker clothing. If you want to twin with your whole family, you can have clothes printed or you can choose the same style or colours. Nice for a family photo or to announce a pregnancy.

Twinning with my daughter thanks to Zendee.nl

A while ago I got the idea to twin with my daughter. She is now 18 and fits a lot of my clothes. It therefore regularly happens that she dives into my closet and clothes disappear in her room. To avoid this, I wanted to twinning with her. She probably wouldn't like twinning completely, but she would like almost the same clothes.

In our search I came across Zendee feel good fashion. A nice little webshop that focuses on sporty clothing with a retro touch and does not care about the latest trends. Nice and timeless and quirky, the clothing is also made of (organic) fabrics. The clothing should not only be comfortable, but also be affordable. There is no mass production involved:everything is made in small workshops in Ede and Arnhem. Only a small part is made in Poland.

It took a while to find exactly what we wanted in order to be able to twin. My daughter first wanted to twin in a dress, but I didn't like that. In the end I selected a nice set for us. It became a skirt (albeit a different color than me, but the same model) and both the same sweater. Initially we received the wrong size and wrong model skirt. Exchange was no problem at all, Zefanja from Zendee helped us very well with returns and exchanges. We have now worn the garments and are very satisfied with them.

My daughter is normally not a person who likes to wear the same clothes as her mother, but the skirt and sweater were well received.

Curious what we chose to twin? We opted for the Emma blue surf skirt and Elva black jogging sweater. These fit perfectly together and are very comfortable. The fabrics are soft and the set can easily be worn in winter in combination with boots and tights. We are very happy and really enjoyed getting together. (In fact, my daughter loved it so much that we ended up taking over 100 photos, a sign that she enjoyed this mother-daughter quality time).
