Couple Goals

Want to put your best foot forward with your better half? These fashion tips on how to maximise your power couple status – while not looking too matchy matchy – cover every occasion from a gym outing to a super slick soiree.

Here are our top tips for ensuring you are the sartorial king and queen of wherever you roam.

Casual date

Want to show your one and only you have eyes for them? Then consider looking similar in the subtlest of ways.

Matching outerwear in the form of camel coats or bomber jackets; white trainers with jeans or a sweatshirt in a similar hue to her dress, can be touching without overbearing.

As with so much in fashion, the trick is to keep it subtle for maximum e ect.

Gym hangout

Matching lycra is obviously a no-no unless you fancy channelling Barbie and Ken, but gymbased couple selfies surely demand a little liaising with your betrothed.

Donning the same sportswear brand or t-shirts with a similar font and style will give an e ortless sense of cohesion, as will matching sports bags.

Similarly, you can also team up with matching post-workout protein shakes, but that really is one for the dedicated.

Wedding

When it comes to complementary fashion looks, it’s often about the smaller details… for example, his tie matching her dress. It’s a little nod to the one you love without going overboard.

Generally, a dark to mid-grey suit pairs well with a formal cocktail dress in a colour palette agreeing to the theme and time of the wedding.

Just remember that white and black dresses are generally a no no.

Corporate event

If the event is semicasual, then the guy can wear a black jacket paired with pitch black jeans and loafers. His partner can stick to the little black dress. If it’s a formal event, then adhere to the same rules as for a wedding.

Summer Soiree

You want to look and feel relaxed, so definitely choose breathable fabrics and cuts. Loose cotton shirts and light-coloured chinos with loafers or boat shoes for him, and a flowing, elegant dress for her.

Once again, your outfit synergy comes from the accents. The gentleman’s shoes may be similar to the lady’s dress, or her nail polish may match his shirt. These details not only make you look well put together as a couple, they also show your hosts that you’ve made the e ort for their event too.
