Wearing the same clothes as your partner is a trend embraced by some couples in South Korea. It always raises a slight smile – or even a smirk – from people witnessing the phenomenon for the first time. Opinions on it are usually divided, with some people seeing symbiotic style as being immensely cute while others judge it as odd (or just tacky).
Blogger and photographer Janna Gibson, on the other hand, finds it fascinating, and has started a blog called ‘Couple Story’ documenting the matching pairs she comes across on her wanderings around Korea. Here are our favourite images from , which are all photographed and published online with permission from the couple in question.
Which couple look is your favourite??
