Move over Kim Kardashian, there is a new social media star in town - or two, to be precise.<\/p>\n

Their names rhyme, their clothes match - Japanese couple Bon and Pon are putting a smile on the social media world with their perfectly co-ordinated chic outfits and silver hair.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram account that screams #lifegoals, the couple, 60 and 61, post demure photos of their everyday life in amazing matching outfits.<\/p>\n

Bon and Pon, married for 37 years, created their account just three months ago, but they are already Instagram celebrities - @bonpon511 has an enviable 89,000 followers (and counting).<\/p>\n

Not many couples could get away with matching tartan, but Bon and Pon can.<\/p>\n

It's not only their devotion to co-ordination that makes them so appealing.<\/p>\n

They also have impeccable taste - wearing minimalist colours, tailored cuts and smart shoes.<\/p>\n

But why do they co-ordinate their look? "It's fun to wear matching clothes," says Bon. <\/p>\n

Sometimes they wear the same outfit twice - so there is hope for the rest of us.<\/p>\n

In one photo, Pon appears alone. But that's OK, she's paying tribute to David Bowie in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
