his and hers

Towel set labels

His and hers describes matching items designed as a pair for a man and a woman, typically a couple.

The phrase appears most often with towels, bathrobes, watches, or jewelry marketed to couples who want coordinated versions of the same item.

They received his and hers monogrammed robes as a wedding gift.

The expression assumes a heterosexual pairing and traditional gender distinctions, though it's sometimes used playfully or ironically.
