Are you doing couples Christmas outfits this year? Oh, the most romantic and magical time of the year is here…well, almost here. Whether you’re romantic or not, we all know that the holiday season brings some sort of magical joyful love air with it. It might be the lit up cities, the falling snow or just the huge amount of romcoms that are seen during this time. No matter what it is, it’s almost here and it surely is beautiful. So if you’ve got someone special to share this time of the year with, why not make it even better and get some good pictures out of it? In this article, we have some suggestions of couples Christmas outfits that are coordinated, but not too matchy, so you don’t overdo it and you still get some lovely pictures as a memory. Read along and get ready for a lovey dovey Christmas season.
Couples Christmas outfit: Same texture different colors
The first suggestion we have for you is to try and match the texture of your outfits instead of the colors. Having sweaters in different colors but with the same texture for example is a great way to look coordinated without being overwhelmingly similar. For example, get an Aran sweater for yourself here:https://www.gaelsong.com/prod_detail_list/mens-apparel and buy her the same stitch pattern but in a different color. I
f you go for Aran sweaters, you can also look up the different meanings behind the stitches which makes it an even more wholesome experience. You can go for fleece, fake fur or pretty much any texture that has a cozy look to it. Just make sure you keep the same texture for just one item of clothing and choose different pieces to go with it so that it’s not too much.
Same pattern different pieces
If you decide to do something a bit more obvious, you can try matching patterns, but again, don’t do it for the whole outfit. Incorporating the same pattern but for different pieces of your outfit is a good way to coordinate without overdoing it. For example, you can choose a nice Christmassy pattern and get a tie or socks for yourself and then pick a bow or a scrunchie in the same pattern for her to wear. This way, that small detail will show you’ve put in the effort, but will still need a bit of observation.
This works best with accessories, and if you’re not into patterns, you can do the same trick with colors. Just add touches of the same exact shade to your looks and you’ll be matchy enough for the festive pictures. If both of you wear jewelry, try matching the metals as well, wearing only gold or only silver, as that will create a perfect coordination between the colors.
Couples Christmas outfits in the color palette
Last but not least, an easy way to coordinate your couples Christmas outfits is to establish a color palette and just stick to it. This gives you a lot of flexibility on what you actually wear and it allows you to choose your pieces, but still gives you some inspiration. Choose two or three colors that you both have in your wardrobes, and that you like wearing, and make your outfits with pieces in those colors.
You’ll end up with outfits that match perfectly in terms of colors and that might have differences in styles or exact pairing which will be the perfect way to look good together without forcing it. Make sure you stick to the decided colors when choosing accessories as well so you get a perfectly cohesive look.
