I can maybe recall one or 2 times when I thought we actually clashed in some way that struck me enough to ask DH if he would wear a different shirt or pullover.<br /> Dressiness level is almost always me more dressy than DH, mostly because he has about 3 wardrobe "speeds", while, with accessories and footwear and fabrics, my outfit options can have more flavors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756708 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 12:13:36 +0000 Anonymous 1756708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me and DH have coordinated occasionally, though not particularly on purpose.

It hasn't happened again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756634 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:43:53 +0000 Sara L. 1756634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not unless it happens by accident. We don't usually match colors or even levels of dressiness. I like to dress up for date nights and he doesn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756628 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:21:59 +0000 Cerinda 1756628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROTFLMAO, bj1111 and minimalist! &nbsp;I'm Mutt to my honey's Jeff.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756618 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 03:08:50 +0000 celia 1756618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>' I'm his bling.'

My DH is fairly normcore. He will sometimes wear a button up shirt with a native American print/pattern. Then there I am in some outfit that looks like a dystopian nightmare of shredded sweater and leather leggings or moto jeans with some wicked boots. People have to wonder why we're together when we don't even look like we're from the same universe LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756587 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:46:25 +0000 Alexandra 1756587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't usually wear the same colors except for Christmas-related things. Then we coordinate in red sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756577 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:18:37 +0000 Bennett 1756577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never ever entered my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756570 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:02:44 +0000 bj1111 1756570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaahhhh, mrbj1111 is a prep through and through. He owns no jeans, has an unnatural love for chinos in a tightly curated (let's go with that) set of colors in navy, dark tan, light tan and olive if he feels wild and a slightly wider color palette of button downs that includes plaids, reds and rusts. I could not match him if I changed race and religion.</p> <p>So I view my role as an accessory for him if it's his or a joint event. I'm his bling. If it's my event, he's my grounding element. Works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756547 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 00:04:00 +0000 LaPed 1756547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have a few pieces that overlap, but try not to wear them on the same days. On backpacking trips we're fairly matchy (same shirts, same sunhats, same trail runners, sometimes the same shorts or pants), but that's only because I'm in charge of gear buying, and once I find what I consider to be The Best ___, I just buy it for both of us. At least it's usually different colorways for men and women.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756546 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 00:02:53 +0000 El Cee 1756546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It happens often... mostly by total accident. But we have been together for almost 30 years... so perhaps that leads to thinking alike. A bit scary.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756542 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 23:47:34 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1756542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since he often asks me to choose what he should wear, we are often coordinated simply because I am in the mood for ----whatever it is (black, cozy sweaters, tee shirt, etc) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756541 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 23:43:46 +0000 crazyone 1756541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>in South Korea you'd see dozens if not hundreds of couples wearing matching "couple outfits", especially on the weekends. &nbsp;I also saw mom-and-kid matching outfits, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756505 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 22:44:01 +0000 Anonymous 1756505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes unintentionally we complement each other with some type of matching but we don't coordinate to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756502 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 22:41:10 +0000 Angie 1756502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By default, if I wear black or ink blue, I match Greg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756463 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 21:48:21 +0000 minimalist 1756463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We were just talking about this! Remember those magazine spreads in the early 00s, about how to do this without looking matchy-matchy? </p> <p>In public, we're rarely dressed at the same level of formality, sometimes comically so. In private, our loungewear coordinates but not intentionally; it's because of the preference for same colors that Celia mentions. </p> <p>Weddings, we don't attend together because does the wedding couple really need to pay for hosting (and make space in their guest list for) whichever of us is the +1? We prefer to view those invitations as polite fiction and spend time with the couple together a few months later or whenever it works out geographically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matchy-matchy-with-the-so#post-1756459 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 21:43:56 +0000 Suz 1756459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes...not usually on purpose but when it happens we chuckle.
