The wedding season is upon us. And while you’re planning all your outfits, you might want to consider doing it with your significant other and plan outfits that go well together. There are plenty of ways you can match your outfits: thorough embroideries, fabrics, colours and the overall vibe/aesthetic.

Twinning is cute, fun and a way to mark your territory. Just kidding! (Or maybe not)

How To Twin Stylishly With Your Significant Other

Based On Embroidery

Big flower energy

If you love big flowers and can not lie, time to channel this energy into your outfit this wedding season and do not forget to include your significant other as well. The pink Shivan Narresh sari and the blue Rahul Mishra kurta, both embroidered with big flowers—both beautiful pastel shades—will pair well together to exude a fresh, floral energy.

Mirror work

If you love mirror work, embrace it as a couple this wedding season. Sounds like a bit much? Don’t go overboard—take a more subtle approach like this stunning Itrh sari with a mirror work blouse, and this simple Abhinav Mishra sherwani with mirror work stole.

Chikankari

Chikankari is another beautiful type of surface ornamentation to embrace this wedding season. It’s such a delicate, subtle type of embroidery, so do not be afraid to go all out. More is more, with Chikankari.

Based On Vibe

Glam

Some couples prefer to keep it cool and understated, while others like to go all out. And then some couples turn up the heat the moment they walk in. When it comes to glam, they mean business. If you are (or aspire to be) one such couple, here’s what to wear this wedding season.

Effortless indo-western

Then there’s the type of couple where both of them look like they are wearing their skin. They always look super comfy, while being well dressed. This is the couple who somehow puts both comfort and fashion first while slaying in indo-western outfits.

Banjaara aesthetic

Embrace the vibrant, colourful banjaara aesthetic as a couple this wedding season with this Torani lehenga and Mayyur Girotra sherwani.

Based On Colour

Orange

If we learnt one thing from the latest Abhinav Mishra showcase, it’s that colour twinning with your beau is cool again. There are a lot of colours you can go for. For starters, orange. Pair this Mard by Abu Sandeep kurta with the Jigar Mali jacket and sari for a bright, happy vibe.

Purple

Purple is super hot at the moment. And we don’t mean lilac, or violet, or plum. We are talking deep, aubergine purple!

Pink

Nothing like a cute ‘Barbie and Ken, but make it desi‘ moment with your significant other. Go for a beautiful shade of pastel with this JJ Valaya lehenga and Anushree Reddy bandhgala.

Emerald green

Emerald green is probably the most beautiful shade of green (after olive green) IMHO.  Embrace this beautiful colour this wedding season with this Seema Gujral mirror work sherwani and Jade by Monica and Karishma Gharara for a mehendi function.

Another way to twin with your significant other? With the fabric of your outfits! You can do banarasi sari. Pair a Banarasi sari with something like this Jayanti Reddy sherwani—it has a Banarasi sari for a stole.
