anybody know why?

Cute, I suppose.
Because that’s what the girl wants, or the wife buys. Though I suppose that still begs the question why? See Jaboney.
I went to work once, and several people were wearing the same clothes as me. It was really embarrassing. As if working in McDonald’s wasn’t bad enough already.
When we moved in together, the boyfriend bought me two shirts.
One had a picture of a house on it, with lots of hearts in it, and said ‘Love in the House’. Awww…
One had a heart made up of two fingerprints, and says ‘True Love…’
Both are really cute, but he bought himself one of the ‘True Love…’ ones, too 
So now if I wear my ‘True Love…’ one, I have to make sure he’s already dressed. Otherwise, if it’s clean, he’ll fish it out and wear it, too.
So I totally resent that ‘because it’s what the girl buys’ excuse. So not true!
In your case I guess not. Wow, do I feel stupid now. 
However, do you have anything besides one personal anecdote to relate? I mean, it’s hardly fair to throw the word “resentment” out at me simply because your guy once bought similar t-shirts.
I can list more than half a dozen wife’s I know who have bought matching outfits. Mrs Chen, Mrs Chan, Mrs Lee, Mrs Li, Mrs Wang, Mrs Huang, Mrs Yin and Mrs Ying.
So there. :raspberry:
I actually MADE matching outfits for us. 
How embarrassing is that?
With or without sandals?

Aside from being female, your dozen wives all have another common thread… they all Taiwanese, homey. As is my Mr. Yang.
So… maybe it’s one of those crazy Taiwanese things???
(And OK, I’ve only got one personal anecdote!! But it’s 1.30am, I’m a little hungover and I only just finished a school report, so I’m brimming with resentment. Plus I don’t know of any other couples who’ve had matching clothes at all… Apart from Pink and her husband, but I don’t really know her personally.)

Er, yah, since this thread is about Taiwanese couples dressing the same.
And psssst, I made up all those names above.
KITSCH!!
But we wore matching swimwear 
I can’t tell you the look on people’s faces…that was the last time we ever wore em together.
Could be he/she wants to mark their territory. Kind of like a hickey.
I totally agree…
Why’s it so bad that you want the world to know that you’re a couple?!
I think it’s cute!
(and I’m guilty of buying matching hoodies with my ex as well… haha…)
What’s wrong with matching outfits?
You seriously never seen this in your country?
Q: Why do some American (my country) couples wear matching outfits?
My A: Because they have different fashion sense.
Oh wait, that would make too much sense. :roflmao:
My Taiwanese ex-husband insisted on a “couple’s uniform.” It’s just a Taiwanese thing, mostly. Or I’ve seen teens in the States do it.
One Taiwanese friend told me that it’s to show ‘unity.’ Unfortunately, she couldn’t get her British husband to go along with it.

You just don’t understand Chinese fashion.
Just to clarify, by “matching” we mean the same outfit and not “this outfit goes with that one” yes? I have seen couples wear outfits that “go together” in the US but I have only seen identical outfits in Taiwan. Kinda creepy, especially when a skirt is involved.
I’ve seen whole families “in unity” here.
