They're on the same wavelength! Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck wear matching outfits of checked shirts and jeans

The boyfriend shirt is bang on trend right now.
And Jennifer Garner didn't have to look far to find the perfect example.
The actress looked like she had raided husband Ben Affleck's closet in the oversized checked shirt she chose for a lunch date on Thursday.

On the same wavelength: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner wore matching outfits of jeans, checked shirts and leather shoes as they headed out separately in Santa Monica on Thursday

Teamed with her rolled up jeans and flat leather shoes the shirt flattered Jennifer's slender frame. 
Keeping her outfit low key she wore her hair wet and unstyled as she rushed to make her lunch meeting at R &D Kitchen on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
Ben obviously thought Jennifer's choice of outfit looked good - as he chose a matching outfit himself.
He jazzed up his shirt and jeans combo with a leather jacket and a smattering of facial hair.

Ben was hard at work on the sunny day - carrying a heavy armload of scripts as he visited a private home in Brentwood.
He has been regrowing his 'lucky' beard after shaving it off after the Oscars.
The 40-year-old shed his beard just a few hours after Argo - the hit movie he directed - won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Since then he has been enjoying some much-earned relaxation time - although it loks like Affleck may now be getting back to work.
At a charity event last week the father-of-three told reporters: 'It's been a really nice time to hang out with my wife and that sort of thing, so we're just enjoying it.'
'I've been able to really just enjoy my good fortune in the last couple of weeks and sit back and kind of just take it in and not do anything, just eat ice cream on the couch,' he told EOnline.
