If you grew up with siblings, you can probably relate to the irritation of being forced to match your outfits, especially on special occasions. I will never forget going to the Nutcracker ballet one December dressed in a head-to-toe pink fur-trimmed ensemble to match my sister's blue version. We looked like tiny Muppets, and unfortunately, there are plenty of pictures to prove it. TBH, cringey coordinating sweaters have become a holiday tradition on par with exchanging gifts and putting up decorations.
But festive matching outfits don't have to cause arguing and eye-rolling. Gap's seasonal plaid print comes in clothing options for the whole family. It can be mixed and matched with tons of different bottoms, knits, and accessories, so your looks can be complementary without being identical. Basically, there's room for everyone's personality to shine through.
Keep scrolling for some outfit ideas that your kids will actually be excited to wear, using pieces from the family plaid line. Try out these fun 'fits for Thanksgiving dinner or this year's holiday-card photo shoot. Disclaimer: expect lots of doting and "aww"-ing from the grandparents.
