In short: Coordinate, do not match: a shared palette, at most one patterned piece between you. Consider the season honestly — a London shoot from November to March means coats, and coats look better when chosen rather than grabbed. One of you in comfortable shoes.
Colour. Pick one palette between the two of you and let one person carry the stronger colour. Two loud outfits compete; two neutral ones disappear into a London street.
Fabric. Texture reads better than pattern in a two-person frame — knit, wool, leather, denim. Prints on both people turn the frame into noise.
Footwear. At least one of you in something you can walk a mile in, because walking frames are the backbone of a couple session.
The thing that ruins frames. Height mismatch handled by clothing — a long coat on the shorter person and a cropped jacket on the taller exaggerates it. Reverse that and it evens out.
