The Tamesis
Monochromatic dressing can be surprisingly difficult to pull off: too much of the same fabric and density, matched just right, and a little dated. David and Victoria Beckham, who have been experimenting with style as a couple for decades, opted for midnight blue for a recent date night.
The couple held hands and wore navy blue as they dined together in Salaam, New York. Of course, Victoria wore something of her own design and kept true to her elegant, luxe style: a broad-shouldered, oversized blazer worn with a white T-shirt and matching wide-leg suit trousers, cinched with a brown belt. She wore her signature oversized aviator sunglasses and her hair was long, loose and now blonde. David, meanwhile, leaned into his workwear style: he wore a collared dark blue jacket over a navy suit and white T-shirt, chinos (with a silver chain hanging from the pocket), white sneakers and square sunglasses with red lenses.
Beckham family avoids search also twinny sticks to his own aesthetic—VB’s silhouettes are roomy and elegant, David’s is more tailored, casual, and a bit of a British gentleman—but from the archives of their signature couples’ looks, we know that’s not the case. completely be opposed to.
They made the most of their time in New York to celebrate and promote their collaboration with Victoria Beckham Gap. For another date night at COQODAQ, one of the designer’s favorite restaurants, Victoria elevated her all-black look with a figure-hugging beaded pencil skirt and a black crocodile Hermès mini Kelly bag (one of her many collections), while David opted for a chocolate brown Prada stand-collar coat. Of course, they also covered their faces with their own sunglasses: Victoria in XXL Rick Owens aviator shades, and David in dark brown sunglasses. Personalized glasses are what both have in common.
Date night attire can be difficult to get right, and as a famous couple, there are plenty of routes to choose from. You can stick to polar opposites like Justin and Hailey Bieber, pledge allegiance to The Row like Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, or create your own fusion style like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. But as David and Victoria Beckham show, finding a coordinating detail is enough.
