How to Style Sibling Sets for Birthdays & Events
There’s something effortlessly charming about coordinating sibling outfits — especially when done in timeless Spanish style. Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, family photo shoot, or a formal gathering, styling your little ones in matching or complementary outfits creates a cohesive and elegant look that never goes out of fashion.
At Mariposa Children’s Boutique, we specialise in handpicked sibling sets from Spain’s finest children’s wear designers. Here's how to style them beautifully for special occasions in 2025.
🎀 1. Choose a Coordinated Colour Palette
Rather than dressing siblings in identical pieces, opt for a coordinated colour scheme. For example, pair a baby boy’s romper in dusty blue with his sister’s floral dress that includes soft blue tones. Brands like Sonata Infantil, Abuela Tata, and La Peppa excel at creating collections that work seamlessly across genders and age ranges.
👗 2. Play with Texture and Detail
Layering textures adds richness to your styling. Mix lace, tulle, knits, and linen to create depth and visual harmony. For example, style an older sister in a puffball dress with embroidered tulle while her younger sibling wears a soft cotton romper with matching trims from Ela Confección or Babiné.
🧸 3. Match Accessories, Not Just Outfits
Matching sibling sets can go beyond dresses and shirts. Coordinate with matching headpieces, shoes, and socks for a polished finish. Brands like Angelitos and Condor offer footwear and tights in a variety of seasonal colours that perfectly complement Spanish outfits.
🎉 4. Style by Occasion
-
Birthdays: Go for bold bows, ruffles, and standout party pieces from DAGA or Naxos for a truly wow-worthy look.
-
Weddings/Christenings: Choose classic smocked sets, soft pastels, and handcrafted details from Sonata Infantil or Rochy.
-
Casual celebrations: For relaxed gatherings, look to DBB Collection, Miranda, or La Peppa for breathable, stylish everyday options that still feel special.
📷 5. Perfect for Photoshoots
Matching sibling outfits create stunning photo memories. Choose outfits with timeless appeal so that your family portraits look stylish even years later. Tip: Avoid overly trendy graphics — instead, stick to classic cuts and patterns for a long-lasting look.
✨ Final Tip: Keep It Comfortable
While style is key, comfort is non-negotiable — especially for little ones. Look for elastic waistbands, soft linings, and breathable fabrics, all of which are a hallmark of Spanish children’s wear.
