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.
