We get it, you’re in love. But that doesn’t mean you have to wear identical t-shirts to proclaim that. Instead, raise your style game by coordinating your Valentine’s Day outfit with your other half.
Coordinating your outfit with your S.O. is meant to make a statement that you’re both so in love. But there’s a chicer way to go about it. Take a leaf from these examples below and start looking like a well-dressed couple instead of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum!
Dressy Formal
It’s not about copying entirely, but complementing each other. There may seem to be nothing remotely identical about your outfits at all, but the overall vibe should mesh well to show that you are a couple comfortable and secure in your relationship without having to prove it to the world. If he’s wearing dress shoes, wear a sleek LBD. If he’s doing with a vest, complement with a pair of statement heels.
Casual Glam
Instead of wearing identical white t-shirts, consider the theme of your outfits instead. If it’s luxe simplicity, then you can match your maxi slip dress with his crisp white tee, your evening clutch with his dress watch, your sleek low pony with his coiffed pompadour.
Smart Casual
For couple-coordinated outfits, think less matchy-matchy, more similar details, such design elements, colour, pattern or print. A smart-casual theme, for instance, can involve
Street Cool
Too cool to play dress-up? Then get decked out in your favourite street wear label, your comfiest sneakers/boots, and grab your S.O. Go accessory-less and let your look speak for itself. Your other half is your best accessory, anyway.
Colour Coordinated
A complementary colour palette is the easiest way to let others know you coordinated your outfits on purpose, but have enough taste to not dress completely identically. Play around with textures — your tweed to his denim, your linen to his leather — if you’re in similar colours to take your couple look up a notch!
