Does this happen to you?!

There's no chance of me accidentally dressing like DD. I'd only scare the neighbours. What suits her is lovely (on her). Skintight Royal Stewart trousers and a tiny drummer boy jacket worn with black patent stiletto boots!! Me in that?

Yes sometimes it does Dontaskme my DD and I often meet up wearing very similar outfits and colours . We must be very in tune with our daughters

Not a hope - I’m always flattered that she even wants to be seen out with me!! ?

Never. DD wears designer clothing and is a size 6, she also wears very high heels. I, on the other hand, am not a size 6 nor even a 16 so comfort is the order of the day for me.
Yesterday I saw a woman in the ladies of a restaurant, she was everything you don't want to be, bad fashion choice round shouldered and just plain drab. Went to wash my hands and realised it was multiple mirrors

When she was a teenager, and we were going out, DD would say to me "you're not going out in that are you?" We have wildly different fashion/ dress sense. She is tall, slim and modern. I'm short, plump and stuck in the past, although I do like tunics and leggings these days.

My son and I often wear flowery tops.

No ---eldest daughter is a bit designer and the youngest is BOHO- they consider me Smart!! Ho Ho

Happens to me and my lovely daughter all the time, only difference is her ugg boots are real, and mine are last years, fiver from Primark?

No daughters here but I am always unreasonably pleased when one of the daughters in law offers me a compliment on my clothes. I do dress in a very similar way to one, think I’d be flattered if there was ever duplication, she would just laugh. .

My mother’s friend always said that you could always tell women who had daughters, as they were invariably better dressed!

I have found myself in situations where I, 75, DDiL, 50 and and DGD, 11 are dressed alike. It usually involves, a shirt/sweater, leggings and boots, with a quilted coat.

We are all slim and a similar shape but of varying heights.

That's fab you are wearing the same/similar clothes.
Is it true that there's less fashion/clothes age divide than there was?
I find it hard to get out of my leggings due to their comfort. Is anyone else the same?

I am not slim. I look like sausages and my bon marche clothes don't help, beige of course.

No, we do not dress in a similar fashion at all if we're going out, although if we're just hanging around we could.
My DD sound rather like Teetime's, one designerish, the other hippyish and boho

I am sure there is less fashion/clothes divide between generations now.

I do think that, in our family, similarity of size and figure make a big contribution to me dressing like DDiL and DGD. DD is a completely different shape to me, the same height, but with a much bigger build, broad backed and big bosomed, which I am neither and her dress style is very different.

My daughter and I have bought the same joules and Barbour jackets ( but not at the same time.)
We give clothes to one another but unfortunately not shoes, she's 1 size smaller.

I think if DGD thought she was wearing something similar to her mother or me, she would immediately change her style.

My daughter's style is totally different from mine, so no chance of wearing the same outfit. However, she is always raking in the charity bag to see if she fancies anything.
When I was teaching, on numerous occasions, my friend and I used to turn up in the same outfit. In the end, we would check with each other before going on a night out.
One night, three of us turned up wearing the same top! Customers thought we were the waitresses.
Now retired, we are still doing it.

Nope, DD’s have different styles both to each other and to me.
One of them is always wanting my various boots though, ( same size feet) and the other one wheedles necklaces out of me.

I made the mistake of buying a sweater for DD last Christmas. "It doesn't fit me anywhere" was the verdict.
I couldn't return it so gave it to a grateful friend.
We don't like the same things and my 3 DiLs are all very different. No way I would risk choosing clothes for them.
They give me lovely presents though. Bags and scarves and toiletries I would never buy for myself.

I have 3 DDs and I don’t think I dress like them . However if we are all going out together we often turn up in similar colours. Eg. Shades of blue . There is usually no a chorus of ‘ see we all go the same memo’.

I meet up with my DD every few months as she stays over 100 miles away and although I don't wear the same style of clothes as her we text in the morning with the message - stripes, flowers, spots!! We are usually in jeans but quite often used to be wearing very similar tops which was quite an embarrassment for her or so she says (doesn't stop her accepting some things which I know I won't wear again!).

Once we were having a summer evening BBQ and our daughter, who lives hundreds of miles away, was arriving that day in time to join us. I opened the door to her and we both shrieked, as we were wearing identical, very distinctive tops. They were from.Next, bright pink with floral embroidery. I offered to get changed, but my daughter couldn't get her top off fast enough.

I do think there's less distinction now between the way the generations dress- at least between women in their 30s/40s and those in their 60s/70s. My daughters and I often borrow a sweater, hoodie or coat from each other when we visit.
