When it comes to the delicate art that is couples dressing, subtlety is key. Denim on denim is out, clearly. Neckerchiefs could backfire, too—it's an accessory that can easily get flamboyant. Yet! As demonstrated above by Kate Moss and husband Jamie Hince, when paired with modern staples—leather jacket, tuxedo blazer, and dark denim—the addition seems like casual coordination, as opposed to matching with intent. Wear it knotted or loose, in a colored or monochromatic print. For the coupled set, consider it a good “His & Hers' option this holiday party season when your outfits beg for a little ornamentation.
