So I’ve been mulling over this whole thing about couples that has been on my mind lately. For me, part of the interest is the way that people start to merge their individual styles together to create a look that sets them apart as a pair. I love it when you see people who clearly just belong together. I’ve been observing this recently on the street and I’m going to post a few examples up here of what I mean over the next couple of days.
I wonder, do we seek out people who look like us or do we blend together once we’re an item? I’m not sure, maybe a bit of both, but either way, I’m loving the way these guys look together.
‘we wear the same clothes coz we feel the same’
@ Sarah Yes, and I love that. Although only you get the white dress right? xxx
Beautiful light bambino xx
@ Sam Thank you darling xx
Really like the top picture!
Thanks so much!
Good pics, they look amazingly similar!
Thanks, glad you like them
So, quick question: Do you know these people, or were you randomly taking pix of couples on the street? ;)
Because you’re right, they look absolutely PERFECT together.
And I think style often evolves from exposure. For example, my boyfriend of three years will often look to me as he stands in the closet and say, “What do you think of this together?” So my input helps shape his wardrobe.
For us, it doesn’t happen reciprocally … because he couldn’t care much less about fashion! But I’d imagine if he did, it would — and thus our styles would mirror even more.
Fun post — love the pix!
No, I don’t know these guys, I was just observing. I like the way your tastes are evolving together, sounds good.
I was wondering the same thing. I love this! I’m so glad they’re randoms! Great observation and beautiful pics! :D
Great photos! And I agree… the closer my hubby and I get and the more we live together, the more we dress alike. Case in point, I know where a lot more button up shirts (like him) and he now dresses up just a little more for everyday life!
That sounds like it’s working out well, I’m addicted to shirts, wonder where I got that from…
I think it’s a bit of both! Congrats on being freshly pressed! – but they need to fix your link, I think….
Thank you, I’ll check the link..
Cool title and observations!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
I love this post! My man’s style is a mix of Scandinavian simplicity meets rugged lumberjack, while I’m a mix of 50′s dresses and oversized granny sweaters. We somehow fit quite well together. (:
That sounds like an excellent fit, and I really love the way you described yourselves, gorgeous x
Lovely thoughts :)
Thanks Emily
Great photos!

Thank you Katie
nice observation. I’ve wondering that myself as well!
and these two couples…
they’ve got it. so stylish, so in-sync
Thanks, yes I love that they’re so relaxed with each other
Great post!
Thank you!
I always found it interesting to see how many couples to look the same. Never quite worked for me though. Even from the dawn of time I seemed to gravitate to completely the opposite.
Well that can be good too I’m sure, maybe I should look for contrasts next..
nice post.. :) very observant of people around you.. :) I love seeing lovers on the streets as well..
Thank you, I’m a real people watcher too.
What a cute couple in your digital picture. My husband and I have been married 27 years and as we grow older we still look the same just older!
That’s lovely, 27 years is good going!
Yea, it does seem to be this way. But how can an outsider tell the difference between a blend and a change?
I’m not sure, I think that’s what interesting in a way, do we look for it or become it?
THese are nice pictures. Hopefully I can take pictures like this so I can someday get Freshly Pressed, too!
Thanks and I’m sure you will x
They look great together!!!!!!
They do don’t they? x
so sweet, I think.
If in Indonesian, it is called “nyambung”
Oh gorgeous! I love that it has a special word, thank you
Yah, noticed, people think I’m dating my sister, because with my girlfriend we look so much alike…
Ha! That’s hilarious, but it can happen. The looking alike, not the dating your sister, that’s not so good I think ;)
yep sure, check these pictures, do we really look alike? http://on.fb.me/K7omPP
Great post.
I think I’m loving the way these guys look together too, you are not alone.
Good to know, thanks!
Your title is very catchy! You drew me in thinking this was going to be about tennis. Thanks for slowing down the pace and giving me such food for thought.
Well I’m glad I surprised you! And that you enjoyed it x
Keep up the good work and inspiration. I hope there will be a Set Point to follow!
That’s really nice idea, watch this space..
Will do!

Oh wow I absolutely love this, great find thanks!
I believe that, when couples get to know more about each other, which usually takes a considerable amount of time, they end up unintentionally dressing somewhat similarly. Either that or I’m just thinking based on experience. Interesting post, anyway!
Thanks, and yes I think it’s something that evolves too.
Well… lovely…
this is as well for older couple :-)
belive me the maching can happen even when you are over 30 :-)
And the results are wonderful… keep up the good novels! serenity :-)claudine
True! Couples are lovely at any age, thanks you x
Reblogged this on Fakeseo | Black hat SEO.
These moments never come back dear. Unforgettable memories and sweet moments.
I guess that’s what I’m trying to capture yes x
Such a wonderful analysis. Sex And The City . . . the Sequel? Congrats on being FP’d!
Thanks! Yes SATC once they’re attached?
Nice observation, I think that maybe because what we wear is a reflection of who we are our syles show that and although the saying goes opposites attract I really think you have to be alike in fundamentals to make it work … hence the similar style
Thanks, yes that’s a really interesting way of looking at it.
well I try :-)
Love it! x
This is a really interesting observation. It makes me wonder if my husband and I were walking along that street together that day if you would have thought that same about us.
I wonder, do you think you have similar style?
It’s funny, initially I would have said no. However after seeing your post it made me go back and look more closely. I think our styles are beginning to collide.
I suppose I would wear the same color with him as the match point.Very interesting to enjoy you guys’ different point of views~~~;P
Thanks! Yes, really interesting to hear what you think x
The first pictute is gotten a great shot. The sun is the cream of the image :) Makes it somehow warm and calm, kind of peaceful.
Thank you, I’m so glad that you liked it
Really sweet pictures and concept! I am 13 so it’s fun observing people on the street with my friends who look really perfect for each other! Nice work and congrats on being freshly pressed!
Thanks so much, your blog looks great too x
So, what makes these couples look like they belong together?

This is a cute post, and I really like both your blog title and your post title. Also, I have heard this said before about people looking like their dogs, and people picking out a dog breed based on their personality.
Congrats in being Freshly Pressed!
Thanks! And yes, totally agree about dogs and their owners.It always reminds me of that first scene in 101 Dalmations..
Couples suchlike on the photos reminds me that it’s not bad to fall in love. :)

what cute couples! to see the feeling of satisfaction on their faces… waw. isn’t that great, to really know that there’s somone for you somewhere?
I love that thought, thanks x
I think, the more you get close to someone, the more you develop the intimacy. And when you feel its warmth, you discover the real spice of life. ;)
Congrats on being freshly pressed!
Thanks and yes I think you’re right!
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!
Thanks very much!
I love the first photo! And I think couples grow together and begin to blend
Thanks! Yes, i think they do.
Nice shots, the first couple really melted! Thank you for sharing,

And thank you, too!
I think we find the things we like in the other and pick it up for ourselves. After a while, a happy medium is found. I haven’t been in a relationship in a while, but being a hopeless romantic, this is one of the things I have always loved about watching couples.
yes, after a while you don’t know who it came from?
Probably not, but you also don’t care. It is a grand thing, I think.
Agreed! I love your sentiment, thanks for the comment x
