Coordinating with Your Cutie
Ahh, romance. So many ways to express your affection to your special someone such as sending flowers or the ever-so-classy, posting them to your Instagram story. Who said chivalry was dead? Yet, in the realm of all things fashion and style we have to admit there is a charming allure to coordination outfits with your cutie. Not only is it a unique way to show affection to your special someone but it’s also a sly way to show your togetherness while looking effortlessly chic - if done so correctly. We want to avoid identical looks that have you looking more like twins than lovers and we have some easy tips on how to get it done right.
Our first tip is to simply incorporate subtle color accents in each of your outfits. For example, if your partner is wearing a navy blue pullover sweater or crewneck, try complementing this by wearing a coordinating pair of navy sneakers or a scarf in the same shade. This simple synchronicity adds a touch of sophistication while keeping your looks effortlessly complementary. Don't be afraid to experiment with different hues such as earthy tones to soft pastels to find the colors that resonate with both your styles. Or simply exercise your right to compromise and go with one of your favorite colors; here’s to hoping neons and metallics are off the table...
You can also elevate your coordination game by focusing on accessories. Choose a common accessory theme such as watches, belts, or statement jewelry, and ensure both you and your partner style pieces that complement each other. A shared accessory choice can showcase your special bond in a subtle yet impactful way. Whether it's matching leather belts or intertwined bracelets, these small touches can speak volumes about your connection. The key to mastering this tip is to make sure you and your cutie are both matching metals; gold and gold, silver and silver and so on.
Finally, embrace the coordinating style look by sharing a similar style, preferably one that reflects both of your individual personalities. So for example, if your partner has a more casual style that consists of jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt but you both have a shared admiration for a more elegant look, try choosing tailored pieces that have you meet in the middle. This approach allows you to showcase your shared tastes while still honoring your individual style preferences, resulting in a chic but authentic couples aesthetic. Don’t have a cutie to coordinate with? Try this trend out with your besties or even a sibling or a cousin, either way it’s a great testament to love and friendship.
