- Look at this hat on my head.
- Look at this hat on my head.
(electro swing music)
- Matchy-Matchy couples' outfits.
- It's all the rage in Korea.
- But will the people of LA find it adorable or deplorable?
- It's lady-like and we're wearing
the same exact shit as our boyfriends for a week.
- Because dating us isn't torture enough.
(record needle skips)
- Having Saf choose for me?
It's actually like I've got my week planned.
- Whoa, whoa who says I'm choosing.
You're misinterpreting this.
- [Paul] In Korea, when couples dress the same,
it's pretty much like marking your territory.
I don't have a problem with that. I'm very territorial.
- I'll wear black, even though it's the summer,
and it is bright.
- We have to try, Tyler.
- I'm going to make you wear skinny jeans.
- Whoa, make?
- What?
Am I missing something?
(laughs)
- We are gonna go shopping together.
- Yeah.
- And buy matching stuff. I'm not dressing you.
- Wait, we already did that.
(magical noise)
- Will we also be wearing looser jeans?
Because I'll make you wear those
if we're just making each other wear things.
- No.
- I just don't want to look like siblings.
- I don't think we have a siblings are dating problem.
- I'm just saying like if we're wearing the same outfit.
I don't want people to be like...
what the fuck?
Oh, well.
- Let's go shopping. Don't make me mad.
- Okay.
- [Paul] He's already being difficult.
- I didn't say anything.
- He's already being difficult.
- I didn't say anything. It's a nice shirt.
- We have a very similar style,
but our tastes in colors is very different.
- [Paul] I like neutrals and blacks.
- [Freddie] I like pinks and brights.
- [Safiya] I like this idea, but then,
the pocket was navy blue, and I'm open to whites
and neutrals, but you guys know that I can't
wear navy blue.
- I'm pretty okay with navy blue.
Like it actually might be one of my favorite colors.
Reaction?
- When we walked in Paul said, "Ah, color."
Dammit.
- I'm like Toucan Sam.
- You can wear it. I just don't want to wear it.
- [Safiya] We're only getting boys' stuff,
and I'm just wearing boys' stuff already.
- We're expecting everyone to think it's weird,
but people might really think it's cute.
- Mhmm.
- They might also think it's weird.
- [Tyler] Do we have to get matching boxers, too?
- [Safiya] No. I'll take some though. For sleeping.
Okay. So it's Day 1. It's our first day out on the town.
- Paul is about to come meet me,
and we're going to to to lunch.
- We're hanging out in a college-y area.
Lots of college-aged kids looking at us kind of funny.
- I'm not super worried. We'll see how I feel
once we get out into the elements.
- I think it's cute.
- I keep waiting for people to walk by and start
laughing at us.
- That's already happened.
- That happened?
- Yeah.
- [Paul] We're back at it again.
In our striped numbers this time. I like this shirt.
- They're okay. The sleeves are interesting.
- He hates the sleeves.
- Here let's make it longer.
- Yeah.
- We're standing around in his and hers outfits
with a selfie stick. So.
- Where's Crusty. We're looking Crusty.
- Our friends' apartment building had
like this grand opening.
- So cute. So adorable. You even have the same drinks, too.
(laughter)
- [Paul] They had puppies up for adoption.
Just us, holding the puppies as a unit,
dressed the same, I want to say just like
two or three strangers took pictures of us.
- I accidentally just ended up matching
with a different boy at work.
An IT guy was actually wearing the same shirt.
- [Tyler] Oh, really?
- It's an H&M guys shirt.
- It's a popular shirt.
- We're currently at Boardner's right now,
wearing matching Hawaiian shirts.
Get it. Hey, hey.
- You know like literally no one has said
anything about our matching shirts.
- Give it a minute.
- You know first I was like that's stupid.
But then I was just like alright, that's kind of cute.
I want to do that with somebody.
And then I was like, oh I ain't got nobody to do that with.
- Saturday nobody even noticed that we were matching
because we just had plan black tanks on.
Which was definitely our weakest day,
but Sunday was mall day.
- [Safiya] Alright, I think that we are doing the most.
The hats are the most.
- We just got our first oh my gosh.
That was our most brutal experience. Definitely.
- Yeah, that was fun.
- Our shirts have Marvin Gaye on them.
- I feel like Marvin is kind of judging us a little bit.
- Yeah, look at his face.
- So Tyler is protesting and he's decided to put
his hat on backwards. Damn it all to Hell.
- The matching hats, really for some reason.
- Well, they were like lame hats.
- I liked the hats.
- If you're wearing like a Yankees hat
then okay, they like the Yankees or whatever, ya know?
- I thought the hats were cute.
- We chose a restaurant that's on Hollywood Blvd.
We get inside the restaurant, and we start to order,
and they're like where are you guys from?
He's from here.
- I'm from here.
Got mistaken for tourists a lot. That was weird.
- Mhmm. These were the electric blue shirts that you chose
because you wanted to throw some color
into the mix and look where it got us.
- For our last day, we've decided to do it big.
We're both wearing matching Venice, California jerseys.
Now neither of us are from Venice.
- We don't really go there either. Muscle Beach.
- Muscle Beach is in Santa Monica.
- No, it's in Venice.
- Really?
- Yeah. See, there you go.
- We actually got a lot of reactions
for the his and hers situation.
- Someone just asked me if we got these made custom.
- Imagine if we had done that?
- My last name's Venice.
(laughter)
[Freddie] It's coming to an end.
- Back to individuality, which is why
we fell in love in the first place.
(laughter)
- I'll kind of miss it a little bit.
- I'm gonna miss it, too, so.
- It was definitely a long, extended inside joke.
I understand that some people use it to tell other
people that they are dating, but I know we're dating,
and I don't need the extra recognition of that.
- There was less PDA this week because dressing the same
was all of the PDA that we needed.
- All the PDA.
- [Paul] They were like, oh, they're a couple and then
adding the identical clothing was like,
oh, let's not talk to them
because they are deeply in love.
- They are really a couple.
- Weirdly, I think that this is a thing that people do
in America but just for families.
As we were wearing our striped shirts and our hats,
I was like we just look like a mom and dad.
- [Tyler] So we thought long and hard about getting
our little feral cat into an outfit,
but he scratches like a mother effer.
- Yeah, you really have to do some cost-benefit analysis
with that. Like the cost will be your arm.
- I definitely think that this week affected our
relationship in a positive way. It was a cool
bonding opportunity because we sort of had to navigate
other people's responses together.
- The inspiration we had to get Crusty into a shirt
will be that much greater when we have a little
gub gub kid that we want to put into a shirt.
- Maybe we'll try matching Pj's.
- Yo, okay.
Would totally do matching Pj's, matching onesies
with or without bunny feet.
