[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's what you do.  Do NOT buy 5 separate coordinating outfits.  Rather, make everything go with everything.

Get each child 5 pairs of solid-color jeans and/or knit pants, as plain as possible.  Then pick a few colors to be "their colors" for the time being, with either black or navy as the neutral.  So, like, your son might have navy, dark green, light blue, red, and gray.  Your daughter might have purple, navy, light blue, pink, and gray.  Then just make sure most of the tee shirts, sweaters/sweatshirts, socks, and shoes are in the appropriate colors and so that they go with most things.  So that is your basic wardrobe.

Try to keep the colors in mind when shopping, and don't buy things that clash with the colors.  That way you don't have to plan every outfit specifically-- it all mostly goes together because it's all the same subset of colors.  Then, whatever else people give you or you choose for fun will probably go with the solid-color pants, and at least one of the other colors in their wardrobe.
