She may be the one you grew up with or maybe she’s someone new in your life – regardless, there’s an unspoken connection and both of you vibe on a level that no one else understands. So what better way to honour your best friend status than to twin with that friend? The thing about having a best friend is being able to swap style secrets, share clothes and even of course, look fabulous together!
Colour Couplets
A strong tip when creating matching outfits with the bestie is to have colours that complement each other. By keeping to a similar colour palette, you can effortlessly harmonize your outfits. This means that both of you can have two polarizing styles but still look like cool and synchronized.

Print Allies
Another way to match your BFF without it being too over the top and cringe-worthy is to pair subtle prints together. Marrying more subdued prints like checkered in different hues would let both of you look complementing without clashing. Finishing it with the same silhouette also adds an interesting touch, but we’ll get to that in the next tip!

Syncing Silhouettes
This next tip is all about the structure of the way your threads fall. An easy option to start with would be with power suits. They have an evergreen silhouette that will naturally give both you and your BFF the same overall feel. Ditch the tacky coordinated pieces (like wearing exactly the same graphic tee) and go for something more adventurous like these.

Before we leave, here’s the final tip! If you have to throw an outfit together that matches your BFF’s, and have to work with things you already have in your closet, opt for a LBD or maybe try sleek jumpsuits! They elongate your legs and if you and your bestie are of different heights, play with heels so that as a pair, you’d be of the same stature. Plus, a matching clutch wouldn’t hurt!
