<\/p>\n
From the same dresses and hairstyles, right down to their glasses, twin sisters Rosey Coles and Kathy Hefferman, 69, have donned matching outfits, every day, for the past 23 years.<\/p>\n
The pair, from Aldershot, are inseparable \u2013 they live next door to each other, spend every waking moment together taking bus rides, going on walks and shopping.<\/p>\n
But clothes aren\u2019t the only thing the twins have in common. Kathy and Rosey\u2019s homes have identical floor plans and the same grey colour scheme.<\/p>\n
The also worked together for 11 years at their cleaning business, but have since retired.<\/p>\n
Mum-of-one Kathy said: \u2018It\u2019s like being married to someone for 70 years.<\/p>\n

\u2018People see us and ask to take a photograph. They say they don\u2019t often see twins our age together.<\/p>\n
\u2018We both have the same glasses. We wear our hair the same way.\u2019<\/p>\n
It seems the only time the pair aren\u2019t matching is when they\u2019re sleeping, as they don\u2019t always coordinate pyjamas, despite owning the same pairs.<\/p>\n
Growing up, the sisters wore a lot of similar clothes from the age of 13 but stopped matching when they both got married and moved apart.<\/p>\n
Rosey married in 1974 and Kathy followed suit three years later, however the twins both decided to separate from their husbands in 2000.<\/p>\n
Having both left their marriages at the same time the identical twins moved to live closer together, then next door to each other in 2012, and began dressing identically again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The fashion loving twins can\u2019t help but purchase new outfits \u2013 despite already boasting a wardrobe of over 50 clothes.<\/p>\n
Their favourite outfits are their 50s style dresses \u2013 fitted with petticoat skirts.<\/p>\n
Kathy said: \u2018We have so many clothes. We always go to the shop and see something we like. <\/p>\n
\u2018We wear lots of long dresses and jeans. We have the same coats. The wardrobe is packed tight.\u2019<\/p>\n
The twins give a whole new meaning to \u2018shop \u2019til you drop\u2019 having spent three hours in John Lewis recently, spending \u00a3600 on just three dresses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They plan to keep wearing matching outfits for the rest of their lives \u2013 but do sometime wear different tops and jeans to each other if they\u2019re not going out.<\/p>\n
Kathy said: \u2018We don\u2019t like to wear something twice for an evening outfit. We can\u2019t help but buy something new.\u2019<\/p>\n
Rosey and Kathy love the compliments they receive on their matching outfits \u2013 and said most people struggle to tell them apart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kathy said: \u2018We\u2019re always told how lovely we look. People don\u2019t know who is who.<\/p>\n
Rosey added: \u2018We are very similar, it\u2019s creepy.\u2019<\/p>\n
Despite all this time spent together, the pair say they don\u2019t argue and they also love to holiday together.<\/p>\n
The identical twins recently went on a cruise to France and Spain together in May and they of course made sure to pack the same clothes into their suitcases.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kathy spoke about their identical flats, saying: \u2018We have exactly the same homes with the same layout and the same grey colour scheme at the moment.\u2019<\/p>\n
As well as shopping and day trips, Kathy and Rosey even go to doctors\u2019 appointments together.<\/p>\n
Kathy said: \u2018We go on bus rides. We go to a village to a caf\u00e9 for a little trip out. Sometimes we go out for a drive.\u2019<\/p>\n
