OMG, me and my sister are like total BFFs and we share clothes like all the time! We soooo have the same sense of style and we borrow stuff from each other like every single second!
We don't even care, like, who was the last to borrow what from who or whatever. We can work anything into our outfits no matter what and make like a totally new outfit every time! And we always look so cute!
Seriously, the one thing is, we like never ever ever wear the same outfit twice. That would be so embarrassing you could just die! You know what I mean?
Anyway, check it out:
Take sisters CASTLE & OATHS through 6 more outfits
by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time
------------------------------------

(At this point, I typically remind solvers that my puzzles only use well-known words, but these tandem chains are difficult to construct without a few near-slang words. So be prepared for an occasional ding, ting, zing, bling, cred, or dang.)
See if you can help these 5 sister pairs change their outfits:
1. Take sisters SAND & PILE through 7 more outfits by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time
2. Take sisters TRIED & GINS through 7 more outfits by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time
3. Take sisters BEERS & TAPS through 7 more outfits by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time
4. Take sisters SCORED & CUP through 8 more outfits by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time
5. Take sisters COOTS & BATS through 8 more outfits by lending/borrowing one "accessory" (letter) at a time

Extra super double credit to @osdavison @Brandon_J and @Dolgubon for coming up with longer chains than I had prescribed!

16 for Sand Pile, though Id and ids may be a bit of a stretch.
SAND PILE > AND PILES > LAND PIES > LANDS PIE > LADS PINE > LEADS PIN > LEAD PINS > LED PAINS > LIED PANS > LID PANES > SLID PANE > SLIDE PAN > SIDE PLAN > IDE PLANS > ID PLANES > IDS PLANE > IS PLANED
20, if we allow acronyms, and one word from music.
SAND PILE > AND PILES > LAND PIES > LANDS PIE > LANS PIED > LAN SPIED > LA SPINED > LAD SPINE > LADS PINE > LEADS PIN > LEAD PINS > LED PAINS > LIED PANS > LID PANES > SLID PANE > SLIDE PAN > SIDE PLAN > IDE PLANS > ID PLANES > IDS PLANE > IS PLANED
A slightly different Scored and Cups, but still at 8:
SCORED CUP > CORED CUPS > CRED COUPS > CURED COPS > CUED CORPS > CUD CORPSE > CUDS COPER > CURDS COPE > CURD COPES
Coots and Bats, 12, four more than expected. For this one, following the hint in the comments, I drew a graph, and found the longest path following the rules. There's a lot of cycles and relations, so the graph helped. I did use the other two answers to make sure I hadn't missed any words.
COOTS BATS > SCOOTS BAT > SCOOT BAST > SCOT BOAST > COT BOASTS > COST BOATS > COSTS BOAT > COASTS BOT > COATS BOTS > CATS BOOTS > CAT BOOSTS > CAST BOOST > CASTS BOOT
Here's a few partial chains for Sand Pile which I couldn't fit in, but which might be helpful for someone trying to go further.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > led Spain > sled pain
.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > plead sin > pleads in > leads pin > lead pins > led pains (almost able to fit this right in for 21, but there's lead spin and lead pins)
.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > plead sin > pleads in > pleas din > Plea dins

Wow! (1) Great long chain! I have no problem with ID and IDS. Those are perfectly cromulent Freudian words! I understand now why this solution did not present itself to me — because I had taken IDE and IDES out of my solving dictionary as being too... literary. (2) A very similar solution has COPSE in place of COPERS. Then again, maybe COPSE is also too literary... (3) Thank you for using graph theory!! I think that justifies my use of the graph-theory tag, don't you agree? And I learned a new word: BAST.

Nice one with the ascot! We don't see nearly enough of that word, or the thing itself! Interesting aside: I have removed all proper nouns from my own solving dictionary, so I didn't even see this particular solution (because it depends on SCOT and SCOTS). Thanks for presenting this novel approach!

@SlowMagic how am I doing? Do "rep" and "reps" count in your book?

Sure, given my caveat about the possibility of near-slang, I'll take REP. FYI for further exploration, there exists another path through BEERS & TAPS without any hint of slang.

16 for Sand Pile, though Id and ids may be a bit of a stretch.
SAND PILE > AND PILES > LAND PIES > LANDS PIE > LADS PINE > LEADS PIN > LEAD PINS > LED PAINS > LIED PANS > LID PANES > SLID PANE > SLIDE PAN > SIDE PLAN > IDE PLANS > ID PLANES > IDS PLANE > IS PLANED
20, if we allow acronyms, and one word from music.
SAND PILE > AND PILES > LAND PIES > LANDS PIE > LANS PIED > LAN SPIED > LA SPINED > LAD SPINE > LADS PINE > LEADS PIN > LEAD PINS > LED PAINS > LIED PANS > LID PANES > SLID PANE > SLIDE PAN > SIDE PLAN > IDE PLANS > ID PLANES > IDS PLANE > IS PLANED
A slightly different Scored and Cups, but still at 8:
SCORED CUP > CORED CUPS > CRED COUPS > CURED COPS > CUED CORPS > CUD CORPSE > CUDS COPER > CURDS COPE > CURD COPES
Coots and Bats, 12, four more than expected. For this one, following the hint in the comments, I drew a graph, and found the longest path following the rules. There's a lot of cycles and relations, so the graph helped. I did use the other two answers to make sure I hadn't missed any words.
COOTS BATS > SCOOTS BAT > SCOOT BAST > SCOT BOAST > COT BOASTS > COST BOATS > COSTS BOAT > COASTS BOT > COATS BOTS > CATS BOOTS > CAT BOOSTS > CAST BOOST > CASTS BOOT
Here's a few partial chains for Sand Pile which I couldn't fit in, but which might be helpful for someone trying to go further.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > led Spain > sled pain
.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > plead sin > pleads in > leads pin > lead pins > led pains (almost able to fit this right in for 21, but there's lead spin and lead pins)
.
lads pine > lad spine > lead spin > plead sin > pleads in > pleas din > Plea dins

Thanks, I missed that. I edited to remove the doubled word, and added another one, so still the same total. I think I got all of them, but let me know if there's one I missed

Wow! (1) Great long chain! I have no problem with ID and IDS. Those are perfectly cromulent Freudian words! I understand now why this solution did not present itself to me — because I had taken IDE and IDES out of my solving dictionary as being too... literary. (2) A very similar solution has COPSE in place of COPERS. Then again, maybe COPSE is also too literary... (3) Thank you for using graph theory!! I think that justifies my use of the graph-theory tag, don't you agree? And I learned a new word: BAST.

Wow! (1) Great long chain! I have no problem with ID and IDS. Those are perfectly cromulent Freudian words! I understand now why this solution did not present itself to me — because I had taken IDE and IDES out of my solving dictionary as being too... literary. (2) A very similar solution has COPSE in place of COPERS. Then again, maybe COPSE is also too literary... (3) Thank you for using graph theory!! I think that justifies my use of the graph-theory tag, don't you agree? And I learned a new word: BAST.

Nice one with the ascot! We don't see nearly enough of that word, or the thing itself! Interesting aside: I have removed all proper nouns from my own solving dictionary, so I didn't even see this particular solution (because it depends on SCOT and SCOTS). Thanks for presenting this novel approach!
