It Takes Two to Tango

They say a couple should always complement one another, and no where is this more apparent than in music. Like Ike and Tina, Sonny and Cher, and George and Ira Gershwin, the look of a duo needs to be as smooth as peanut butter and jelly. Here are some hip musical duos whose style is as harmonic as the tunes they play.

Crystal Castles is a band that's got serious style. Not only is their band logo a play on the famous interlocking C's of the Chanel logo, but bandmates 8-bit terrorists Alice Glass and Ethan Kath have a style all their own. Alice has short black hair, Ethan has longish black hair, they wear a lot of tight black clothes and look like they're on a mixture of antidepressants and methamphetamines. Even their fans are stylish. Check out some hip kids wearing Crystal Castles t-shirts, here, here, and here.

Chromeo is the classic example of an odd couple that knows how to make it work. Dave 1 is Israeli, P-Thugg is Palestinian, and they hail from Canada. P-Thugg dresses like he's a member of Bone Thugs in Harmony and Dave 1 could be in any indie rock band from Brooklyn. This hipster/thug cross-cultural odd couple sure have created some great outfits, in addition to their disco-infused electrofunk music.

Can we give a shout out to the original devos of style, Hall & Oates? Daryl Hall was just any other funky white boy when he met the hip, mustached John Oates. It was a style match made in heaven, and white boy soul music has never been the same ever since. They landed in our style consciousness with a bang that hasn't let up ever since. Check out these great Hall & Oates inspired Halloween costumes.
