A combination of nine pictures taken on February 9, 2014 shows couples wearing matching clothes and posing for a photo at a popular shopping area in Seoul. Young South Korean couples often advertise their relationship by wearing matching outfits, whether socks, shirts, jackets or, more privately, underwear. The trend has spawned a small cottage industry, with specialist online stores offering " couple swimwear" for the summer holidays, " couple snowboarding suits" for the winter and " couple track suits" for those who like jogging together.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of young love in South Korea, where couples proudly display their affection through matching outfits. The image, taken on February 9,2014, showcases nine different couples posing for a photo at a bustling shopping area in Seoul. Each pair is adorned in coordinated clothing items ranging from socks and shirts to jackets and even underwear – an intimate expression of their bond. The trend of matching outfits has become so popular that it has given rise to a thriving industry catering specifically to these fashion-forward couples. Online stores now offer specialized attire such as "couple swimwear" for summer vacations, "couple snowboarding suits" for winter adventures, and even "couple track suits" for those who enjoy jogging together. Photographer Ed Jones beautifully captures this unique aspect of Korean culture with his expertly composed vertical combo photo. The vibrant colors and joyful expressions on the faces of these young lovers radiate happiness and unity. This image serves as a testament to the power of fashion in conveying emotions and strengthening relationships. It highlights how something as simple as wearing matching clothes can bring people closer together while also becoming an integral part of their identity as a couple. AFP's feature by Jung Ha-won sheds light on this offbeat yet endearing lifestyle choice among South Korean youth, showcasing how love transcends boundaries not only emotionally but also sartorially.
