WHY TWINNING IS WINNING
By Symone Keisha, 1 December 2024
It's cosy season, which means we're gonna be in sweats, pyjamas and loungewear for the foreseeable. If you're looking for a way to update your sweat sets, we've got the answer: twinning! That's right, grab your s/o, best friend or your siblings, pick some matching loungewear sets (or matching Christmas pyjamas!) and get ready to serve. For inspo, check out the duos consciously coupling below.

#1: COLOUR MATCH
The key to twinning? Keep one clear defining factor the same in both of your looks. Here, partners in style Ellie Joslin and Joseph Lynch go tonal with their matching loungewear in green – the colour we're still not over. Varying sleeve lengths and texture add difference but are still as effective. We're into it.

#2: TAKE TWINNING LITERALLY
For true unisex styling, make like Oliver Proudlock and Emma-Louise Connolly and rep the exact same tracksuit. Opting for PUMA down to the ground (literally, did you cop those kicks?), these two are mixing it up with respective statement earrings and chains. Slick.

#3: CHOOSE SIMPLE STYLING
The best accessory to nail this look? Your best friend/housemate, obvs. Get them in on the act, like Alice Dunnagan and Jen Barlow have done, and work the same set with matching crisp-white sneaks and cute complimentary hairstyles. It's a look made for posting on socials.
