If you ever fought your sibling over an outfit, the idea of willingly matching clothes in adulthood might seem absurd. And yet, there’s a whole world of siblings who, other than sharing birthdays, genes and occasionally the same zygote, have also chosen to share their style personas.
They’ve turned coordination into an art form and the fashion world has taken notice. From the Olsens’ mirrored minimalism to the 68 sets of identical twins that Alessandro Michele sent down the runway during the 2023 Gucci show or the many pairs thronging the streets of Milan at Fashion Week in 2024, it appears there is a case being made for dressing in sync.
In an age defined by individuality, what makes these siblings continue to find meaning in dressing alike? Whether their wardrobes align or diverge, what emerges is an aesthetic intimacy: fashion as both mirror and dialogue between two lives.
Hakkak triplets

Elnaz, Tanaz and Golnaz Hakkak, 34, are content creators, stylists and visual directors whose synchronised aesthetic has become central to their brand. Growing up in London with roots in Iran, they moved through the world as a perfectly matched trio, right
down to their haircuts.
Their differences surfaced naturally. At nine, Tanaz cut her hair short and leaned into a minimal, monochrome style, while Elnaz and Golnaz embraced long hair, prints and colour. Over time, their styles found common ground and now, their wardrobes often overlap without any planning at all.
As a trio, their work includes campaigns for Harrods, Burberry, Repossi and Pucci, while personally, they gravitate towards Valentino under Alessandro Michele, Prada, Dries Van Noten, Conner Ives and Dilara Findikoglu. Accessories from Bottega Veneta and Tod’s are staples they always return to. They also collect Y2K pieces from Dior, Fendi and Saint Laurent, and when Jimmy Choo reissued archival icons this year, they could
not resist adding them to their collection.
The trio are aware of how their style shapes perception. They say that when they dress alike, people immediately see them as a team, and when they diverge, it highlights their individuality. Balancing togetherness and independence is the core of their relationship.
Amiaya twins

On a flight back from Milan Fashion Week recently, Tokyo-based models Ami and Aya Suzuki watched Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and felt inspired by the twin actors Joseph and Thomas Odwell. “They reminded us that the
strongest expression of our style was always ‘us’,” says Aya. “Dressing alike is our root.”
The J-pop stars turned models and DJs grew up spending a lot of time in their parents’ clothing store, so fashion dominated their lives. Their mother often dressed them in warm and cool tones; as teenagers, they shared a wardrobe, sometimes fighting over pieces. But creating closets of their own later helped them understand and respect each other’s tastes.
Their ‘Amiaya’ style was cemented to a great extent in 2018 when they seemed omnipresent at Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks. When they attended their first-ever Gucci show that year, they paired vintage fur coats from their own wardrobe with Gucci looks. “Because we enjoy the ‘chemical reactions’ of fashion, we always add a touch of ease or playfulness somewhere in our looks,” says Ami, adding that they lean toward Dries Van Noten, Rabanne, Viviano and Etro. They like mixing vivid palettes, pairing vintage with high-end pieces, and creating cohesion through hair and makeup.“What we value most is showcasing a visually striking presence that only twins can create.”
Hadban twins
Content creators Humaid and Mohammed Hadban (28) have been twinning for as long as they can remember. Their mother encouraged them to dress differently, but they always felt “cooler” arriving as a team in identical looks. “Matching as kids taught us that clothes carry energy, and when we chose to align, it created a kind of instant story about who we were and how we wanted to be seen,” the twins share.
That instinct still shapes how they dress today, evident in their collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. Their style has always been a balance between synchrony and contrast: some days they lean fully into a mirrored look because it feels striking and deliberate; other days they experiment with difference, with one choosing something sharp and structured while the other goes flowy or playful. They see that tension as part of their rhythm. Today, they often twin in Prada, Kenzo, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Paul Smith—brands that, they say, make it easy to create cohesion through colour and fabric.
That sense of connection extends beyond the clothes themselves. One of their most meaningful moments came when they walked the Boss (2022) and Georges Hobeika (2023) shows, invited not just as models but as the embodiment of twinhood. “Walking side by side felt like our story was coming to life.”
Singh twins
As children, for every birthday, Zoya and Zina Singh’s mother dressed them in the same outfit in different colours. It became a tradition, but as they grew up, their instincts led them to explore different paths. “I’ve always been the tomboy, reaching for my father’s clothes, even his pagri, while Zoya loved dressing up in our mother’s clothes and heels,” recalls Zina.
Their fashion identities emerged from different impulses. For Zina, style once grew out of rebellion, but for Zoya, fashion has always been tied to creativity. As adults, their tastes have evolved. Now a stay-at-home mother, Zina’s style “shifts with my surroundings. Living in Kashmir, I’ve grown into a more minimal, androgynous way of dressing.” Zoya, an artist, leans more playful, sharing that she is “drawn to the whimsical and feminine. Wherever I am, I adapt.”
Today, the common ground they find is in wearing matching sets for campaigns, such as the one they did with Torani, and in brands aligned with those sensibilities: Ralph Lauren for Zoya, Sézane for Zina and a shared love for Chloé’s timeless ease.
Their styling advice is simple and grounded: know your body, wear what builds confidence, never underestimate your basics. “Those staples are the bones of your closet,” Zina says. “Experiment with what you already have; style should always reflect who you are.”
