Life is strange. No day is ever really the same, no matter how mundane or repetitive your routine is. Something interesting somehow always manages to break the monotony. (And thank goodness for that!) Your day’s surprise highlight can be anything. From running into an old friend, to encountering an adorable dog along the way, to witnessing a surreal moment with doppelgängers – life certainly knows how to keep things interesting.
With over 7 billion people walking this Earth, there’s bound to be one or two complete strangers that resemble each other. To put it simply, our facial attributes are like a spinning wheel of features. The combinations are limitless and can repeat, to a degree. It’s kind of freaky and kind of cool at the same time!
However, genetics doesn’t always have a hand at creating look-a-likes. Since the fashion industry mass produces clothing items, the chances of you meeting someone donning the exact same things in the exact same style is really high. We’ve compiled a list of photos exhibiting the funny phenomenon, so scroll down below!
