There is a couple who have been dressing alike for over 30 yrs and claim it's one of their secrets to their happiness. http://www.ketv.com/news/local-news/Fremont-couple-shares-unique-secret-to-marital-bliss/-/9674510/14148616/-/gmf5fw/-/index.html?source=htv I don't know that I'd go out of my way for custom clothing to look alike however, hubby and I have occasionally bought the same t-shirt or coat (nascar) provided the price was right and of course the sizes were available.

Hm... The other half and I often dress to the same 'standard' if you know what I mean. Just going out to the pub it's generally jeans and a t for him, jeans and a top for me, but sometimes if he goes for a shirt I'll dress a little nicer etc. Dressing totally alike? That would just drive me mad, but each to their own. What works for them, works for them!

Being "In Tune" with one another is something that helps in the bonding process in a couple.."Mirroring" is something you can see in couples where they'd use the same mannerisms when face to face,like touching hair,the face,or having postures matching..(It can also be done consciously to try and get someone to like You!) It Sounds as though this couple are so well bonded together that they'll show it in the way they dress too..

My mother and stepfather used to dress somewhat alike when they were going to a special event. They'd wear the same colors, like he'd wear white pants with a red shirt and she would wear a white skirt with a red blouse. They weren't matching outfits, just matching colors. I thought that was cute but it's just not for me, probably because my husband can be so mean and nasty. I wouldn't want anyone accusing me of being like him in any way at all. (I'm about to divorce him, just an FYI.) If I had a loving, wonderful husband, I still doubt I'd want to dress alike. It just wouldn't make me feel closer to him. Still, I think it's very sweet whenever I see couples dressing alike. I'd love to be one of them but it's just not me.

That's the first time I've heard such story. I mean, I know couples do wear matching outfit once in a while or for special occasions; but to do that as a customary for over 30 years is indeed unique. I've been with my spouse for over 30 years also, but matching outfit must not be our secret at all. We only have a pair, and even that we hardly wear them at the same time...

Oh wow..Great to hear that..Well dressing up alike means that you need not have to look upon your partner and compare the dress prices and designs and that connects with your partner more..

Wow!! This is a cute story... I think overall it would be hard to dress like each other every day. I know my husband and I have matching T-shirts and that, but only like 1 or 2. I think it would be expensive to keep making sure all your clothes would match each others, and keep them all looking nice.

THAT is a really sweet idea!!! My husband and I have these big furry (fake fur, don't worry!!) matching Russian hats that we wear in the wintertime, and we'll probably pick up matching t-shirts at the Serbian festival in July. My mother and step-dad have a lot of matching sweatshirts and t-shirts, or they'll have matching designs, but be in slightly different colours. They wore a set when they were on the train to Montreal.

hubby and i used to do that when we first started dating but haven't done that for quite some time. i am the aftsy type of person who dresses pretty crazily and he is definitely more conservative so i don't think that we would dress the same (and we have been married almost 25 years! so i don't think that that is the only thing that keeps them together!)

people do things that make them comfortable and that work for them. this is very interesting for a couple to dress alike and they are doing that for 30 years. the good news is they are still together. i imagine how many uniform clothes they have. look, it works for them that's why they keep doing it - dressing alike.

I think its wonderful for them if it makes them happy. I wouldnt go out of my way for it myself but sometimes its fun for people to match.

Really, I have to say that the only time that I've seen couples that dress alike is when they are on vacation. I mean my husband and I have been together for ten and a half years now and I can't think of one single occasion that we've ever dressed alike and I know that if I was to dress like him I would not be happy about it at all because he really doesn't take pride in his clothes. He wouldn't be happy dressing like me because of the fact that I like to look nice most of the time.

Awww.. that couple is so cute and sweet looking. He has a tie to match her blouse. I think that is awesome. I don't know that I would do that, but it is an idea that couples might want to do to feel close to each other. My daughter and her hubby have some same shirts and jackets, but that is about it.
