As a rule of thumb, clothes matching is inadvisable. You don’t need to be identical twins at Christmas or Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in their terrifying (but now, admittedly iconic) matchy-matchy mountain of denim outfits to know that.
Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck pushed the homosartorial button by wearing identical tan-white suits to the Mexico premiere of Batman v Superman. There were a number of problems with their choice of red-carpet attire, the most glaring of which was that they called to mind the sunkissed melancholy of The Man from Del Monte.
More specifically, these outfits could have worked if they mixed it up a little. As white-suit heroes such as Jared Leto, Common and designers like Dolce & Gabbana have proved it pays to contrast, whether that is with different coloured (and probably darker shaded) shirt, trousers or shoes. Nothing says “box-office weedkiller” more than looking like the school prefect at the end-of-term cricket match.
