Matching Outfits, aka Clothing Twins - Also new NFT art

They say Finland is the promised land of shell suits which, the best ones at least, are darn good in keeping you warm when it's not freezing cold but it's windy and perhaps a little wet but you might get occasional sun shine but then again you never know if it rains. Icicles. From the sky. And after that it might be all sunny and warm again.

Most of the shell suits are just darn ugly. And they make noise that cats and dogs and also small children from all over the world are afraid of when you wear it. Unless they themselves are the ones wearing it.

Cats and dogs in shell suits.

What a good band name that is.

Or an album name.

It would be the manifestation of the terrible need of humans to be alike, to fit in, not to stand out in a crowd, to show that they are accepted by their piers and that they accept the devilish path of similarity that tolerates only those who are wise enough to not try to be different because that would be a horrible insult to all the other people around them because they will immediately think that the one looking different tries to be better and show how beautiful or otherwise superior they are compared to the people around them and that would ultimately result in the world burning in hell and galaxies exploding without any other reason than because of that one selfish person who wanted to be different. "I do not want to fit in!"

Oh, matching outfits.

It's pretty easy to get matching outfits here in Finland as usually any kind of patterns are a no-no, they are not just sold in the shops and the acceptable colors are solid black, dark blue, grey, red, pink, orange, brown or sometimes dark green. That's almost the only pattern jacket and trouser manufactures and resellers obey to. If you are lucky enough to find a jacket that fits, you do not have the luxury to demand that many color options.

I guess it's pretty wise to start wearing similar or matching clothes with everyone around you or at least with your relatives or with your spouse as there are so many hungry wild beast roaming in the streets of Finland when the cold winter comes. Disappearing in to the crowd or pushing your spouse in front of the hungry predator is a good skill to master, both mentally and physically, because you wouldn't want to be the one without your shell suit as the shivering bear rips the clothes off from anyone close to it and tries to wrap the cheap Chinese made fabric made from plastic around it's shoulders and tiny belly as it hasn't had enough berries to go to hibernation because there were not enough Thai berry pickers in Finland because of covid-19 so all the berries just rotted in to the forest.

Is there any logic to that?

Why yes there is!

Figure it out.

Oh, clothing twins.

You can also mirror match the colors of your outfit to show perhaps that you are the opposite sides of the same coin. Because opposites attract. Which in my opinion makes no sense, no sense at all. But you can do that. To show your creativity. Your uniqueness in your relationship. The fact that both of you are different people and can decide to wear anything you like, as long as it's similar. But aaaaaanything you like. Positive mind controlling. Or mental fitting if you like. Mentally fit.

Mirror matching or vertical matching is not that useful as exact matching because with exact matching if you loose your spouse in a crowd and you ask people to look for them, you just need to say: "She / he looks like me." and hope that the face and colorblind supermarket worker doesn't announce: "A lady with a beard all the way to the beer belly, a wonky nose and huge hands lost somewhere in to the supermarket corridors. If you see her, return her to the info desc."

That description has nothing to do with the photo below.

It's so hard to explain: "Well, he has the same color clothes as I, but vertically opposite colors."
"What?"
"You know, I have a blue jacket and black jeans, he has a black jacket an blue jeans. I have red shoes and he has a red cap."
"What about he's shoes?"
"Oh no, he has none because I didn't feel like wearing a hat today."

So in a relationship you can wear anything you like as long as it matches your spouses clothes. Aaaaaanything you like. And your Facebook account has to be Annabel and Anthony Summerstone. You can write aaaaaanything you like there because you do not have separate accounts. _{Separate accounts would have to be supervised.}

Just to show people that you are together and that you are hers and he is yours and that you are a perfect match.

Again I have to say that the photos above and below have nothing to do with my writings. But I sure hope I managed to offend those who I have not yet offended in my previous text.

Oh, matching clothes.

Then there are of course those who do not yet master the art of matching clothes with their partner or the people they hang out with. Or it also may be the opposite case. People who deliberately try to avoid matching outfits but in their weak moment do not realize that they have a partial match. Oh the agony of the small variety of colors with outdoor clothes in the shops!

I am with you. I share your pain. I know what it's like when someone at your work or hobby group comes and says: "We could wear similar clothes in our next event! White T-shirts and denim jeans everyone to the apple eating contest next week! Should we print our nicknames to the shirts also? Oh, let's all invent a nickname to everyone! I'm Silly-Suzie! We rock you guys!"
And I'm like: "Sure, let me just kill myself first."

Where was I?

Matchingly match matches matching matchifigingly.

Ffffffffff...

Oh no! All those lost possibilities. All that unused opportunity to match, match, match. Just a simple and easy adjustment would have been either to change the blue jacket to a black one, or the black jeans to dark blue ones. The sneakers are okay I guess if the lady just would dye couple red and white stripes to her hair. Or if the sneakers would have been the same color as the backpack. That would have been awesome. And if I may continue, either the dark orange cap or the oringy brown shoes should be changed to be a mirror match. And I see that you also have a small child there in a pink overall and white cap. Terrible! Horrible! What a missed opportunity indeed to be color triplets!

In the honor of me hating any kind of challenges or things where people first do something and then they challenge other people to do that too, I challenge YOU to photograph people who wear matching clothes out there. So everyone can join and there are no prices for you. The shear joy of doing something similar with other people should be enough. And to point out someone, I challenge @eveuncovered to take color photographs of people wearing matching outfits. Or to dig your archive and show those photos to us. I know you have matching outfit photos of couples. You have to! And in return I promise (again) to some day properly dig myself in to flatlay photography.

If my awesome pitch talk was good enough to convince you to take matching outfit photos, link your post about it here.

Oh, I also made some art. New art from old art. More explanations of my bodyswapper art here. This piece can be bought with 10 SWAP.HIVE in NFT Showroom. So cheap, so cheap!
