Mommy and me outfits are one of the most fun aspects of having small children.
But buying matching family sets can start to add up-- especially if you have multiple children.

Here are 5 steps to coordinate mommy and me outfits without spending a fortune:
1. Pick a Color For Your Matching Outfits
Matching can be as complex as having the same exact style of clothing on, or as simple as everyone having on the same color.
The easiest way to come up with a bomb matching family look without breaking the bank or exerting a lot of effort, is to start with a color and work from there.
Deciding on the color you want to wear before making any purchases or planning an outfit is the simplest way to narrow down your options and find the best deals.
2. Identify What Items You Already Own
It’s not always necessary to go out and buy a lot of clothing items just to rock a matching family look.
Monochromatic looks with neutral colors like Black, Brown, White, and Khaki are always easiest if you’re just starting out.
If you already have a black dress, it takes only a matter of minutes to have your man rock a black shirt too. And it takes seconds to dress your little one in black t-shirts that they already have in their closet.
3. Pick a Style For Your Matching Outfits
Do you want to wear a jumpsuit or jeans, a sundress or cargo pants? Your fit will have the most longevity since you're not growing as fast as a toddler.
So, it makes sense to build the look around Mom's style. Once you know what Mom is going to wear, finding matching outfits to go with it will be a breeze.
