Not really. How can you tell?

This morning a couple of Chinese school girls in matching uniforms were on the train with me.

I did not have a problem with this.

/every morning, actually.

That shirt is as appalling as they must find our pseudo-asian stuff.

A cowboy riding a duck saying Be Cool Man? Really?

Holy crap.

Calling it sick is too strong. It's quite alright once in a while. Weird if done all the time.

Eh, it's a little goofy, but it seems mostly harmless. No worse than some of the engagement photos I've seen, at any rate.

My god, it's as if people love each other. What a bunch of sick bastards. Don't you know you're supposed to be grossly self-involved?

i first noticed this in korea a few years ago

What type of sick pervert still has feelings? Don't those die when you turn 18.

The headline indicates "couples" are engaged in this. However, I'd swear on my father's grave that slideshow only had one couple in it.

/that's lasist

This sounds possessive and controlling.

Strange. Those were heterosexual couples, and yet it was the gayest thing I've seen this year, and I've seen two "bears" kissing each other.

also came to say noticed this about 5 years ago with Koreans. Many of them honeymooning in matching outfits in Thailand when I was over there.

Once when I was at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport I saw two older couples get off a plane from Italy, and all four were wearing matching outfits: American flag print western style shirts and jeans (denim skirts for the ladies), with white cowboy hats and brown cowboy boots.

True story.

I always wondered how much waiter saliva they ingested during their trip.

Jackie Chan's Uncle and his new wife wore matching outfits when leaving for their honeymoon in 'rumble in the Bronx' 1995

FTFA: Eric Zhang (张昕杰), left, and Yao Kaiyan (姚凯艳) have been together for more than five years. Yao dictates the majority of the couple's paired wardrobe, which includes T-shirts and shoes. "I listen to her," says Zhang. "She is my queen."

Ah. [coughs] p-ssy whipped!

gadian: D'awww. Its kind of cute. Sort of. Yeah, it is. Its fun, if nothing else, at least.

Have you noticed that Chinese are still wearing matching outfits? All the denouncements had absolutely no effect. Parents and counselors constantly scorn them, but people are still wearing matching outfits and nothing seems to stop them.

It's not just a Chinese things, or recent. "Identical anoraks" has been the de facto uniform for Canadian tourists visiting the UK for as long as I can remember.

That just made me want to go find a chinese girl.

Do you know how I can tell that you are a complete douche?

So?

A little silly perhaps, but sick? Not even close.

Check the river....

/too soon?

If the only way you can get a boy/girlfriend is by agreeing to dress like him/her, then you need to take a step back and reevaluate some things.

On the other hand, if you just truly enjoy dressing like your partner, then by all means go ahead. The rest of us will enjoy it just as much, only for different reasons.

Am I the first to say I have been seeing this in Korea for years? Also this just shows t-shirts, the worst is couple outfits; same shirt, pants and shoes, sickeningly cute....

They all look alike to me.

Vigorous_Apathy: They all look alike to me.

I know! And this just made it harder!

Being in a couple does not mean surrendering your individuality to a two-headed hive mind.

This has been popular in Korea for years. Actually they have couple stores here where you can buy matching underwear, coffee cups, well just about anything. On top of the couple tees, they also get matching cell phones and the younger kids will wear matching shoes. It's sickening. My wife is Korean and when we were dating I bought an iPhone. Two days later she ordered one for herself as well. Luckily, she understands my hate for couple tees so we don't do that. Though once, we both packed our Ho Chi Minh Hard Rock shirts. We didn't know this until the next day of the trip. We just looked at each other, laughed, and I proceeded to change into the shirt I wore the day before. If you're interested there is a facebook group about the Korean couple tee. I think it's just called Korean couple tees.

This is hardly new. My wife tried to get me to do this with her fifteen years ago

The only disturbing thing about this trend is their adoption of American physiques (in most cases).
