How to Wear the Right Watch to Compliment Your Attire

By Brad Wilson


How many watches do you own? One? Two?. Many people disregard activities and occasion when they wear a watch and continue to wear the same watch, day after day, without thinking about how the watch fits with their attire. You need to seriously consider occasion and clothing in order to look good with a watch.

Yes, that's right. Gone are the days when one watch could be worn with everything. If you know what watches work with what clothes, you will be able to maintain a stylish appearance. Here is some help in this regard. Today we are going to discuss how to determine when certain watches are appropriate and how to match them to your attire.

The Everyday Watch

Every woman has their favourite pair of earrings, and every man has a pair of cufflinks that makes him feel invincible. A go to watch is a must for both men and women for every day use. This watch should match your personality and your occupation. Office goers will look great in a simple, yet stylish Casio Edifice. However, if you are a landscaper and spend most of your time outside in the dirt, a Casio G-shock will be a better option because it can stand up to any activity. Keep the following in mind:

Match metal with metal- Gold doesn't go with silver - so don't team them up. This just doesn't work. It will only encourage a sloppy look and make you appear unprofessional. Matching the right metal is essential to make your attire work.

Match the Right Colours- You can wear a bright pink Baby G if you want but don't match it with clashing colours. A good rule of thumb for men is to always match the band of your watch with your shoes and belt. You can be adventurous but never garish.

Wear Outdoor Watches Outdoors

A nicely tailored suit won't go with an outdoor watch. Your big business meeting is not the time to sport your new Timex outdoor watch. Such watches can be sturdy and water resistant and designed for the outdoors. Stick to a dress watch when working at the office. You can use the outdoor watch on the weekend of hiking.

Formal Always Means Elegant

Men and women need formal dress watches . A masculine yet sophisticated watch will go perfectly with formal attire. The Casio Edifice or the Timex Expedition are elegant options. Wish to make a bit of a statement? Use contrasting colours like silver and black for the dress watch and make sure the watch has classic lines. Intricately designed Casio or Timex dress watches would be ideal for women.

When choosing a watch, you must make sure it fits with your attire and the activity you are participating in. These tips will make sure that you can find the right watch for the occasion.
