We’re identical twins and have worn matching clothes every day for 23 years – we’re so similar it’s creepy!
Identical twins have been happily wearing matching outfits every day for the past 23 years.
Rosey Coles and Kathy Heffernan, both 69, from Hampshire, like to dress alike and even match their glasses and pajamas.
The sisters live next door to each other and spend every day together, taking bus rides, going for walks and shopping.
They share the same style and like to wear identical dresses and outfits when they go out for the day.
The two worked together in their cleaning company for eleven years, but have since retired.

Kathy, a mother of one, said, “It’s like being married to someone for 70 years.
“People see us and ask to take a picture.
“They say they don’t often see twins our age together.
We both have the same glasses. We wear our hair the same way.
“We have the same pajamas, but we don’t always wear them at the same time.”
Rosey, a mother of two, added: ‘When we go out, we wear the same things.
“We’ve been together most days for the past 23 years.”
Growing up, the sisters wore many similar clothes from the age of thirteen, but they stopped matching when they both got married and separated.

Rosey married in 1974 and Kathy followed three years later.
The twins separated from their husbands in 2000, moved closer to each other and started dressing the same again.
They moved in next door in 2012 and now share identical looking apartments.
Kathy said, “We currently have exactly the same homes with the same layout and the same gray color scheme.”
Kathy and Rosey spent most of their days together: shopping, visiting villages, and even going to doctor’s appointments together.
Kathy said, “We take bus rides. We go to a village to a cafe for a little trip. Sometimes we go for a ride.’
The fashion-loving twins can’t help but buy new outfits, despite already having a wardrobe with more than 50 items of clothing.
Their favorite outfits are their 1950s style dresses, complete with petticoat skirts.
Kathy said, “We have so many clothes. We always go to the store and see something we like.
“Recently we spent three hours in John Lewis. I spent £600 on three dresses.

“We wear a lot of long dresses and jeans. We have the same jackets. The wardrobe is tightly packed.’
Fortunately, their similar tastes mean there’s no conflict, with Kathy insisting, “We’re not arguing.”
Rosey and Kathy love the compliments they get on their matching outfits – and say most people have a hard time telling them apart.
Kathy said, “We’re always told how beautiful we look. People don’t know who’s who.’
Rosey added, “We’re very similar, it’s creepy.”
The sisters also like to go away together – they recently went on a cruise together to France and Spain in May 2023 – and make sure they pack the same clothes in their suitcases.
They plan on wearing matching outfits for the rest of their lives, but also sometimes wear different tops and jeans when they’re not going out.
Kathy said, ‘We don’t like to wear something twice for an evening outfit. We can’t help but buy something new.’
