The Adulterous Behavior 30% Of People Won't Admit To
Oh, so you think you and your boyfriend of nine years are pretty serious, do you? Then why aren't you both wearing matching pink Adidas polo shirts to prove it, huh? In eastern Asia, where PDA is still a taboo, couples have taken to synchronizing their outfits to display their affection. The trend is so popular that stores are starting to make outfits sold in pairs, and pictures of couples dressed identically have overtaken fashion magazines. When a couple who've been dressing the same break up, the clothes aren't worn again, which, on one hand, kind of sucks, but on the other hand ... POST-BREAKUP SHOPPING SPREE!!!!! We can sort of see the appeal.
While the idea of a couple wearing identical Bermuda shorts might make you want to gag, consider the alternative: couples swapping spit on the subway. Honestly, that's way worse than matching graphic hoodies. Or giant yellow floral muu-muus. Check out more scary his and hers fashion options in the gallery below...

This has been around for ages. A lot of my friends taught in various parts of Asia after their undergrad, and they told me this was quite popular.

Wow. Who knew "news" could actually be late? Pathetic.
As for the article, it is a rather cute trend. However, it's "old news". XD
Been there. Done that. =/

My wife refuses to wear matching anything. My favorite quote of hers - "only old people wear matching outfits so they can tell someone what the other one was wearing when they get lost"

Like most of the other comments ... cute story, OLD news as our family was stationed in South Korea in the mid-1990s and the couples, especially newlyweds, were doing this then.

Back in the 50's at my high school "going steady" couples often dressed alike.

Yikes! That guy's pink t-shirt and those horizontal striped pants just scream "prison b*tch"!
But seriously, coordinating outfits is a sign of an intimate relationship. I might go for something a bit more understated, like his tie matching a color in my dress, or we both decide to wear something comfy and casual, like a white t-shirt & jeans. But for my guy to look feminine? Only at home. I say that because some of my clothes are just downright yummy comfortable. If my guy came out of the shower wearing my baby soft cotton knit pj pants, I wouldn't think a thing about it. Who wouldn't understand this? It is no different than me wanting to wear his t-shirt because it's comfy, and it reminds me of him! And if my guy is man enough to wear my super soft lavendar cotton t-shirt to the store, he's man enough for me!

Ummmm r they serious with this article?! Me and my boyfriend used to dress alike all time back in the day (80's and 90's) LOL And, so did our friends who were couples, not to mention we are all from the states. That was the thing back then and some ppl still do it now. This is def not a trend and has been going on forever!!!!! Get ur facts straight!!!

Back in the late 40s girls made full circle skirts out of drapery fabric and a matching shirt for their boyfriends. Cute, but not cute on adults.

I would not want to wear the same clothes as the person I am in a relationship with. That's okay for everyone else but not for me. I don't have to express my love by doing this. Their are other ways. And I think its just for attention and to let everyone know that they are together. I see people doing this a lot. Its not anything new but it is kind of silly. You don't have to look like a clone of the person because you love them.

African Americans have been doing this since the 80's, especially in the hip hop community. Nothing new! Stole it from us AGAIN!!

While it's not my style, I can't see anything remotely "scary" about these matching outfits. Honestly, this article is making a big deal out of nothing.
