Mr. and Mrs. Active If you and your spouse enjoy hitting the gym or strenuous walks uphill, look for running shoes which provide maximum shock absorption to ensure your body's protected. No matter what sort of physical activity you partake in, add some style with his and hers sneakers in contrasting colours with similar styles.

Whether you call them trainers, high-tops or low sneakers, they are sure to provide ultimate comfort during any athletic activity. Sneakers, as with any type of clothing or accessory, allow wearers to express their own sense of individuality.

But how can you maintain your originality and balance your fashion sense with that of your significant other? Today, Saturday Life helps you match up with your mate while on the town and change the idea of 'sneaking' around.

Lounge-around Lovers

If you and your significant other lead a more relaxed life filled with movie nights and casual walks, opt for walking shoes with intricate details which characterise your calm vibe. Classic black and white male Adidas, accented with floral detail on the female pair, is a good fit for this type of couple.

Fashionista meets Mr Cool

If your boyfriend's everyday look is more casual than your usual 'get-up-and-go' attire, there are options on the market that are up his stream. There are a number of catwalk-inspired cut-outs available to suit your fashion needs while still maintaining a gender-neutral colour scheme, making it easy to pair. Puma Ferraris, with their daring design, are complemented by the sophisticated cool of the Puma Basket in black with red trim.

Contemporary Couple

If you're more modern and less traditional, up for trying new things and willing to go against the grain, search for sneakers in off-the-chain colours and shapes. Reflect the spice of your relationship with these matching mustard-coloured kicks and golf-inspired female shoes.
