If you’ve ever wanted to match with your little one, there’s no better time to do it than on your special day – Mother’s Day. By shopping around ahead of time, you can find a plethora of unique and fun ideas that both you and your little one will enjoy — even if you’re a boy mom. Make sure you take advantage of these types of Mother’s Day requests before they grow up and become “too cool” to match with mom. If this is your first time or if you’ve already had a few twinning moments, here are a few ideas to keep your identical wardrobe full of fresh ideas for Mother’s Day.
Matching patterns
If you’re not a fan of identical outfits and want something more age appropriate for each of you, try to pick patterns and colors that are more common so that you have more options. Girl’s special dresses in colors and patterns such as maroon, plaid, polka dots, and stripes are all popular and easier to match with. If you think your newborn is too young to participate with all the bells and whistles, think again. Unisex baby gowns are an easy way to dress up your new addition and include him or her while keeping them comfortable.
If you’re a boy mom, finding a shirt, tie, and socks that match the pattern of your dress is a way to match with your little mister while keeping things simple.
Matching denim jackets
The best thing about denim jackets is that it doesn’t take much effort to find endless options of mommy and me sizes for both boys and girls. You can find some from retailers that have them already premade in both sizes or you can add a personal touch by having them custom made. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can add custom additions to any denim jacket yourself with fabric paint, iron-on patches, and stencils. If your little one is extra girly, rhinestones, pearls, lace, and tulle might be some additions that she’ll enjoy wearing with her mama. To make the most of your jackets, pick a theme that can be worn long after Mother’s Day.
Matching accessories
Depending on your plans for your special day, you may choose to do something casual. You don’t always have to do something fancy to match. You can find accessories like baseball caps, best friend jewelry, or even shoes to add a little matching action to your individual outfits. The best part about accessories is that they are all customizable.
- Shoe companies like Vans will allow you to make a custom pair with an embroidered font.
- Personalized baseball caps and beanies are also available with custom fonts.
- Most jewelry stores have options for best friend jewelry or personalized items like necklaces and bracelets. It’s also a great excuse for a Mother’s Day gift.
If this is your first Mother’s Day or your second or third, it’s never too late to start matching and make your day a little extra special.
