It's easy to spot young lovebirds across Shanghai and all over China these days.

Forget about key signs such as holding hands -- young Chinese couples have a way of announcing their status as taken: matching clothing.

To show their perfect match, lovers wear corresponding T-shirts and hoodies, especially when they go out together or when on holiday.

Click the above gallery to see why Chinese couples love matching wardrobes.
