A man and a woman are dressed in the same outfit made by WilliWear Ltd.. The unisex outfits consist of an oversized button down collared shirt, loose fitted/ straight legged pants cuffed about 4 inches above the ankle, long socks buched at the ankle, and high top sneakers, all of which are solid white. The man wears an additional white jacket over his button down shirt, and the woman uses a white head scarf tied behind her head to accessorize. With the womans arm over his shoulders, the man takes his right hand and interlocks fingers with her; together they both slightly lunge towards the left side of the frame, though mostly centered, filling up the entire image.
