Matching Under the Mistletoe: The Best Couples’ Christmas Outfits

Dec 13, 2023

Oh, ho, the mistletoe — that most romantic of Christmas decor hung in the most awkward spot unless you have a significant other. When you find yourselves under the mistletoe, make sure you’re dressed the part. And what better way to show off your relationship than with matching couples’ outfits?

This year, ditch the itchy sweaters and the too-hot tights. Instead, embrace the comfy-chic trend of coordinating with your other half. Here are a few matching couples’ Christmas outfit ideas to achieve casual coolness with a touch of holiday spirit.

Men's Jordan Holiday Sweater Crewneck Shirt

Jolly Old St. Jumpman

For a classic yet coordinated look, opt for fits with matching prints. This Jordan holiday print fleece top brings some serious seasonal swagger. Add a pair of joggers for him or leggings for her — and the Air Jordans to completely coordinate!

You’re the Jovie to his Buddy the Elf. But if matching prints feel a bit too much, opt for coordinating colors instead. Choose a Christmas-themed color palette, whether you’re wearing red and they’re in green, they’re in silver shoes, you’re in gold ones… you get the idea. You can even go with variations on a single color shade. Tie the Christmas outfits together with a pair of Converse shoes.

Women's Puma AOP Track Suit

Good Tidings and Cheer

Whether it’s your first holiday together or your fifth, it’s totally OK to go all in on the matchy-matchy. PJs are a given, but why not try a toe-to-head festive pattern to really commit to that Christmas couple outfit? This PUMA all-over print look provides neutral colors and all the style — shoes included — perfect for selfies under the mistletoe.
