If you’re getting married, or have to attend weddings as a couple, and coordinating your outfit with your significant other’s is on your mind, fret not. Outfit coordination is no longer about wearing matching clothing like the Von Trapp children on their day off.
You can find ways to coordinate without looking like siblings, too. Presenting, coordinated celebrity-couple fashion moments which you can take inspiration from for the next shaadi you attend.

Deepika and Ranveer both wore white and gold, but the work was quite different on their respective ensembles, resulting in coordination minus costume-y matching. It requires careful analysis of the colours in question, and it helps to place cutouts of both fabric samples side by side when you’re doing this. You can then have each outfit tailored to have the type of patterns you like. This way, each outfit retains individuality while also having a connection.

If you want him to wear an outfit like yours, you can get the same embroidery on both, but reduce the work on his kurta like in the case of Priyanka and Nick Jonas. This is a good tip for bride and groom outfits, especially.

Wearing the same colour as your partner can be tough, but opting for a muted colour like dark blue, dark green, maroon, or black is a great way to make it work. Neither of the outfits look too loud when seen together, so there is a soothing resemblance minus a jarring clash of similarity.

Using fabrics which have similar embroidery or weaving patterns can help you look coordinated. You don’t have to get the exact same design, but something in the same shade range is a good idea. Here, Tara has added a golden border to her saree, which also has chikankari work with ivory thread on white, like Aadar Jain’s kurta. As they say, it’s “same-same, but different.”

Those who are fans of floral prints, listen up. Your attempt at coordinating with your partner doesn’t have to result in you both looking like you wore clothes made of the same curtain. Deepika and Ranveer’s smart coordination is proof. While one is wearing a larger print in the same colours and theme as the other, the other’s outfit has a different print in a different size. Coordination without matching too much is the key to getting the perfect couple look!

Taking one element from your partner’s outfit and incorporating it into your own is a great idea. Some people do this by matching pocket squares or ties to the colour of a saree, while here, Amitabh Bachchan’s kurta has gold threadwork to match Jaya Bachchan’s saree’s golden weave.

If you can’t find fabric, prints, or embroidery to match each other’s clothes, let the colours be the connection. While you can always get different-looking outfits in the same colour as in the case of Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit, or Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, it’s better to go the route Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha went. That is, opt for the same colour, but wear different shades of it. So, if you wear hot pink, your partner can wear baby pink. If you wear sage green, your partner can wear forest green.
