Style Guide Matching Couple Outfits: The 10 Best Pairings Supermade EditorialOctober 21, 20267 min read At a concert or a costume party, where the point is to be seen as a pair, you can dress identically. For dinner or a normal weekend, a looser match looks better: one design in two colors, or two different pieces with a print or a color in common. What the Outfits Should Have in Common Finding the Right Sizes The 10 Best Pairings Other Combinations All 10 Pairings in One Table Before a Photo Shoot What the Outfits Should Have in Common Navy next to sky blue looks coordinated even when nothing else about the two outfits matches. Two shades of one color do this, and so do blue and purple or any other neighbors on the color wheel. Red with green is a bolder pair: colors that sit opposite on the wheel intensify each other. With graphic tees, keep the print on one shirt and pick the plain one in a color from that print. Two prints side by side work only when they share a theme, like two jerseys from one series or two different soccer graphics. Barrel-leg pants on both of you, such as our 2504 jeans with the sweatpants from the Washed Panel set, go together in any two colors. Finding the Right Sizes When a unisex top is for her, go one size below her women's size. A unisex size is a men's size, cut straighter and boxier through the chest. A women's medium works out to roughly a unisex small. The Union Jack tank and the cropped camo jacket are cut for women; she can order those two in her regular size. Look for an Only Girls or girls tag on the product page to spot pieces like these. Every product page has a size chart in flat measurements, taken with the garment laid on a table, and a tool that suggests a size from height and weight. To check the chart against your own clothes, take a tee that fits the way you like and lay it flat. Measure across from armpit to armpit, then down from the shoulder seam to the hem, and compare the two numbers with ours. For a surprise gift, borrow a tee from your partner's drawer to measure. If her own tops are slim fit, her tee will measure narrower than ours in the same size, and the difference is the extra room she'll get. The soccer tees, the crochet polo, and the Washed Panel and camo sets are cut relaxed or oversized by design. Many of our tees and jerseys start at M. On anyone who'd take an S, an M runs a size big. For the baggy look our FAQ recommends when you're unsure, pick the next size up. The 2504 barrel jeans and the leopard pants go by the waist instead. Measure straight across the top of the waistband on jeans that fit you, laid flat, and look for that number on our chart. Do the same from the waistband down to the hem and check it against the chart's length. Levi's men's chart matches inseam to height, running from a 30-inch inseam at 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 up to a 34 at 6 feet to 6 feet 4. A couple who are 6 feet 2 and 5 feet 7 come out 4 inches apart on it. If you end up in the same letter size, her pair will run about that much long. Cuff the hem once or twice, or have it shortened. Main Site or Her Site Thesupermade.com and her.thesupermade.com sell many of the same pieces with separate stock and prices. Compare both before you buy: the same jersey can cost close to twenty dollars more on one site. When a size is gone on one site, check the other. Our unisex collections aren't in the main menu. Here they are on the main site and on her.thesupermade.com. The 10 Best Pairings Two Pairs of 2504 Barrel Jeans His Hers One jean, the 2504, is listed under two names: Contrast Side Stripe Denim Barrel Jeans on the main site and Denim Contrast Striped Stitching Barrel Jeans on her.thesupermade.com. Bought in one color, the two pairs make the easiest everyday match on this list. The jeans have a wide, rounded leg with stitching that runs diagonally down the side. If you're ordering from both sites, stick to blue or black; brown and white are main-site only. The Washed Panel Hoodie Set For both of you Buy the Washed Panel hoodie and sweatpants set twice in one color for a concert. Anywhere else, put one of you in black and the other in pink. Blue and green round out the colors. The hoodie is short and boxy, with low shoulders and wide sleeves, over loose barrel-leg sweatpants. Take your usual size; the product page says that's what gives the intended oversized fit. SUPER 7 Jerseys in Black and Red His Hers Our Materialism series includes the SUPER 7 V-neck jersey in black and red, with a big 7 on the front and lettering across the shoulders. A white version exists, but only in XL and 2XL. Wear the black and the red together on game day. Cross Frame Leopard His Hers Her SUPM leopard set uses the same Cross Frame design as his leopard baseball jacket, down to the cross emblem on the chest. It comes as the full set, the jacket alone, or the pants alone. Her site carries it from S to 3XL, while the main site's version starts at M. Two leopard jackets side by side are a lot of print, and for most outings she's better off with just the pants and a plain top while he wears the jacket. Union Jack Tops for Summer His Hers Get her the Union Jack racerback tank in white. His cropped Union Jack tee is sold only in brushed white. The tank's relaxed fit and dropped shoulders follow the cut of his tee. Soccer Prints on Black Tees His Hers Soccer is the only thing the Vintage Soccer Motion tee and the SUPM.CO tee have in common. Ordered in black, they read as a set at a watch party. A Camo Track Set and a Cropped Jacket His Hers Classic Camouflage is the color name on the Camo Graphic Stand-Collar Set and on the cropped camo jacket, and the stand collar matches. His track set adds three white stripes over the shoulders, down the sleeves, and along the outer leg seams. For days when he'd rather not wear the full set, the top is sold by itself and goes over jeans. Red Plaid Shirts His Hers For dinner, the dressiest pairing here is red plaid with dark jeans. Military-style cord frogging across the chest of his Napoleon Plaid Flannel Shirt sets it apart from the leopard trim on her Vintage Patchwork Leopard Plaid Shirt. If you'd rather go red with green, the Napoleon comes in green. The Pastel Crochet Polo For both of you The Pastel Striped Crochet Knit Polo is sold on the main site and on her.thesupermade.com, in blue and yellow. Order one of each. The open crochet lets air through on a hot day. With its ribbed collar and button placket, it looks a little dressier than a tee. Coats With Fur Collars His Hers With fur collars on the two coats, his faux-shearling aviator and her padded bomber look like a pair even when nothing under them matches. In coffee, hers comes closest to the brown of his. His aviator closes with metal hook clasps and has room for a heavy sweater underneath. Other Combinations The 2504 barrel jeans go under any top on this list, from the SUPER 7 jerseys to the camo jacket. She can wear the leopard pants from her set with the black SUPER 7 jersey. In fall, the cropped camo jacket goes over the black SUPM.CO soccer tee. All 10 Pairings in One Table The last column assumes she wears a women's medium in regular tops.

Checks and stripes are a frequent source of moiré, the glitch you get when a digital camera has trouble with a tight, repeating pattern. If you're shooting video, put the red SUPER 7 jersey in the test. Red can blur at the edges on video, and thin stripes can turn wavy. For a photo you'll frame or mail, keep to one patterned piece between the two of you and leave off big logos and lettering. They date a picture fast. Three pairings fit those rules: the Washed Panel set, the barrel jeans with plain tops, and the fur-collar coats. Avoid wearing the color of your background. All white on a beach can wash you out against the sand. Before you go, lay both outfits on the bed and look at them together. Sources Women's Cut Shirt vs Unisex, Realthread Will it Fit?
