In the cutthroat, disease-infested competitive world nothing is easy about relationships. 

Once you start dating the fairytale bubble of expectations bursts open, after all meeting your better half by just swiping right is a blue moon occurrence. Yet once you meet your true one, there is still a long path to be trodden upon as the dating scene in India is not exactly flowery. There is the family, the parose wali Aunty and co. on a lookout for an opportunity of moral policing and Covid 19 Restrictions. Despite all of this it is a given that you want to boast about your Mr. Right to everyone out there with the trending couple look. However, while Gen Z goes all out with the couple look- as they twin with each other- sporting similar items head to toe, on the other hand, the older Millennials might be embarrassed with this over-the-top style. Don’t worry we have got you covered, follow the tips below to keep the cringe vibes at bay and rock the Couple Fashion with your bae:

• Balance of Style: 

While we are at the basic level, both parties must wear a similar style with a similar theme since you are not focusing on a complete twin look. For example, go in shorts with shorts or the girl can also wear a dress or skirt. Pair up in Coats and Jackets, or turn up wearing jeans together. Whatever suits the season, location and occasion go with mutually related outfits.

• Key Points and Small Details

Decide on one key point like for instance if it’s a casual outing both of you can sport ripped jeans. Small Details play a major role in formal occasions ever since the history of fashion a classic example would be your dress matches his tie. If you want to go one step ahead you can even don accessories in matching colors.

•  The Play of Print and Color

Prints and color are other factors that can make or break the look, balance between them is important. Try wearing checked or striped shirts or tees while your partner puts on complementary color-blocked pieces. If you are dressed in floral maybe if your beau is comfortable he can wear a floral bandana.

When deciding colors you can either go contrast or tone-in-tone (if want to wear monochromatic outfits). I feel tone-in-tone is the new black for casual day outings whereas contrast is forever the rules evening dates.

 Tip-off the rack: if you are unsure about what color combinations are flattering together, try looking up some interior designing palates, whether its walls or outfit combinations exist to please the sore eyes. 

•  Fabric

Fabric is a crucial feature of traditional clothing; Couple Fashion is for newlyweds too!

Despite the fact that Covid was present to splash all the plans of shinning in the limelight, you could still keep your thunder to yourself by having a home photoshoot armed with amazing filters. Yet filters can do every magic so grab the countless treasure of traditional fabric you have acquired and flaunt it on your SNS handles but do keep in mind the Yin and Yang i.e balance out your Couple attire by making him wear less than what you are wearing. For example, if your saree has heavily worked embroidery make sure your better half has less of it in his garb and vice versa.

 So what’s stopping you? Start planning for your next date and dress to rock that #coupleGoals Tag!
