Hello baby loves! I hope you're having a great week. I'm personally super ready for the weekend. My last few nights have been spent dreaming up outfits. And not only outfits for me, but Boba as well. You may have guessed it; I'm swooning over couple outfits! I kinda like them, fine I'll admit it I really really realllyyy like couple outfits which is kinda awkward because they're very popular in some Asian countries and considered pretty obnoxious here in America. My mom (who's technically my grandma) told me that couples her age and older wore matching outfits all the time when she was growing up. I think that they're super cute when they're well done.
I first heard of couple outfits when I watched the Taiwanese drama Devil Beside You. I thought it was really adorable when Yuan Yi and Qing Zi wore purple matching jackets on one of their dates. I also saw couples wearing matching shirts like this and shoes when I lived in China, but I didn't know that the trend was also popular in South Korea and Japan. I'll admit that wearing a matching shirt or complete outfit isn't really my thing, so I never thought about doing it. I ran across this article on Drama Fever a few nights ago and fell in love with the trend all over again. There's even a married couple in South Korea that has a clothing brand for matching couples called Ggumddakji which is slang for inseparable couple. I liked quite a few of the outfits and liked how you could see each couples' style. I decided to do a search and see if I could find anything that I would like to wear with Boba. I found an article from a blog I follow called "A Texan in Tokyo," in one post she talks about her secret love of couple wear, but how it was awkward at first. It was refreshing to read another American's perspective; I really liked how she and her husband started off small with matching watches.
I decided to see if my favorite Asian fashion website, Yesstyle, would have any items, and lo and behold they have a whole section devoted to couple outfits! I really like the style in the picture below. The matching shirt/dress combo is a nice take on the couple outfit trend. This set can be found on Yesstyle here.
This couple below has got to be my favorite from the Drama Fever article. I feel like you can tell that they are a couple, but it's not over the top. I like that they match, look super stylish, and you can see each person's individual style.

These photos have convinced me to give it a try. I don't think it will be too hard to convince Boba to wear a couple outfit with me. We've done it accidentally before, I have a red plaid shirt and he has a blue one. We both met up for a date one day and realized were had wore our plaid shirts lol He also dressed like me once on purpose, too lol He saw that I had wore the red plaid shirt again, so he put on his blue one. I'll take pictures if we end up doing it!
What do you think about couple outfits? Would you do it with your partner or nah? I've decided that I'm willing to give them a try despite the fact that they aren't so popular here. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks for reading^^
