Delhi, too, is bang on the trend. Pooja Guha, a resident of GK II who got matching tunics and shirts designed for herself and her boyfriend says, “It’s cool to wear matching prints. We look different from others.”

Designers, too, are flooded with requests for matching outfits. Designer Gautam Gupta says, “Couples are asking for matching party wear, club wear and wedding attire.”
