In the spirit of our favourite romantic holiday, Dreamfellas lists the best shops to get matching outfits for you and your partner.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, couples everywhere seek different ways to express their devotion to their partners. From elaborate bouquets to fancy candlelit dinners, date night in February is a guaranteed memorable experience.
But of course, a big part of what makes Valentine’s Day so exciting is the prospect of dressing up — especially for couples who enjoy matching their outfits — on date night or otherwise. There are many ways to coordinate your looks, like wearing similar colours or perhaps sporting the exact same shirt, styled differently to suit each of your body types.
Whichever your preference may be, Dreamfellas has it all covered in our comprehensive list of where to shop for coordinated ensembles. We’ll have you looking like two peas in a fashionable pod for every type of date.
Arcade Clothing
Debonair couples will want to shop from Arcade Clothing’s Valentine’s Day collection entitled ‘Best Dressed’. Their line-up includes Parisian chic styles that offer deep shades of raven dresses and a suave selection of menswear tops. Whether you’re parading around a museum with your beau or are seated comfortably in an art-jamming cafe, one thing’s for sure: you’ll both be best dressed in the room.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a brighter palette, Arcade has a bunch of outerwear that could be worn by either gender. Though it’s not an understated way of going ‘matchy-matchy’ it’s still cute nonetheless.

Kiholo Club
Any good packing list for the beach includes sunscreen, drinks and of course, Kiholo Club swag. Made from 100% cotton, Kiholo Club’s lightweight and breathable tees — like the summer state crop top and summer state crew neck tee — are the ideal beach cover-up on your hot date.
For the laid-back beach bums that enjoy lounging around under the sun, you’ll want to keep this brand on your radar as their store provides a wide range of beach attire and gear beyond airy tees. From hats to totes and even towels, a one-time purchase of their club or beach essentials kit could last you more than just a couple of dates.

Null Label
Founded by a sibling duo based in Singapore, Null Label is the voice for all youths. Representing individuality and self-expression, the brand promotes ridding oneself of derogatory labels that society may impose on them. We couldn’t think of a better brand that promotes self-love. After all, before you can love another, you’ve got to love yourself.
As for their catalogue, picture oversized tees with matching baggy pants. That is the signature of Null Label, a very much Billie Ellish-approved style. Having a unisex line works well in this case as it goes to show that anyone and everyone should be able to fiercely be themselves, unbounded by labels.

The Closet Lover
Ever gone cafe hopping and wondered how some couples — with coffee in hand sitting all picturesque in the corner — could look so effortlessly stylish? The answer is simple: Subtle colour coordination. If wearing the exact same outfit isn’t for you, try using accessories to bounce off the colour palette that your partner is sporting.
It’s always in the little details. Like a beret or tote that flaunts similar hues. Or even choosing three key colours to play off of, from pastels to earthy tones. If this all sounds daunting to you, fret not as The Closet Lover’s Valentine’s Day collection has got you covered. There’s bound to be something that catches your eye for both him and her in their latest offerings, so be sure to check it out.
