Just watch out. The "She's my girlfriend -->" shirts don't look so cute when you separate and end up sitting next to some random ajumma on the subway.

Couples shirts = lame fashion for gay sheep.

Dahahahaha!!

I like "fashion lemming" myself.

I think of couple outfits as sooooooooo middle American, if not somewhat trailer trash. Back home, I often saw couples in the airport wearing either a. matching bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirts, or b. matching track suits, especially among the Boca Raton/ Ft. Lauderdale set (they always seemed to be chewing gum and sporting enormous shades, as well). I suppose they thought they looked cool, but that certainly wasn't my impression.

One word: tacky

The couples I see wearing matching clothes all look so bored with life.
It's like their couple clothes are a way of announcing to the world that
every last drop of fun dissolved from the relationship.. At least it appears that way judging by their demeanour..

That's works just as well, if not better

You could wear ironic couple t-shirts that say "Ironic Couple T-shirt" on them. That may be slightly less emasculating.

Whoa. I didn't realize. You mean the reason we don't like to dress the same as our SOs is because it makes our penises disappear?

(I know a lot of Korean guys who think that happens if they wander into the kitchen by mistake. Luckily, putting on clothes is less of an accident ... though I promise, that one time it happened with me the better half, it really WAS a case of nothing else clean at the moment.)

I've seen a lot of "couple sneakers" lately. Would it be less emasculating to match in a more subtle way?
