There are many different ways with which to wear women’s watches. Some women are devoted watch enthusiasts and will wear a luxury watch for its historical significance.
Other women will wear a watch because it is the trendy style at the time. No matter the reason, women have the chance to wear luxury watches in all different ways.
There are different types of watches that a woman can wear. Stainless steel watches have a sleek look that look great with any outfit.
Rose gold is a trend that has drastically grown in popularity. More women are buying rose gold watches. While not nearly as popular for women, rubber straps are always an option, especially for the active watch wearer.
Some women are interested in finding the perfect watch and keeping it for the rest of their life. They will wear it with both dress clothes. When choosing which watch to purchase, they look for a brand that has a long and successful history.
Women are concerned with quality. If they plan to keep the watch for several decades and are going to wear it everyday, it is important that they find a watch that will last.
Another trend that is becoming increasingly popular is; ladies wearing men’s watches. Typically, a lady’s watch is 42mm or smaller. However, some women are choosing to wear the larger watches because they make more of a statement and can be worn as jewellery.
Watch brands are beginning to pick up on the trend that women are being drawn toward larger wrist watches and are introducing watches that fit this trend. In the past, a majority of the watches for women were described as “blingy” with diamonds and sparkles all over the case and dial.
With many women following this new trend, more luxury watch brands are taking note. Several female celebrities are leading the way in this trend. One celebrity who even went so far as to have a brand create for her a customised oversized watch is model Heidi Klum. Klum has been spotted wearing a Panerai Radiomir watch that is 40mm in size, which is on the larger side of the typical range for women’s watches.
There are many acceptable ways for females to wear a luxury watch. Whether it is for fashion purpose or for the love of the brand, there is no doubt that the female watch market is certainly growing. Another growing trend to keep an eye out for as well is vintage watch styles for women.
With men’s timepieces dominating the industry, watches can sometimes take a backseat for women when trying to style a look correctly. Some women mistake the significance the role a timepiece has to play in fashion; lumping it into the same category as their jewellery and matching both for what they may perceive as a complete style.
Although this is not totally incorrect, women can use watches in far more bolder ways to drive a fashion sensibility as opposed to merely matching metallics.
On the other hand, there are times when timepieces should not be overtly flashy or riddled with bling as that can pull apart an entire look. Stress not, for we have put together a few simple rules for you to follow and in no time you will see how your timepiece can make all the difference to your style.
Formal
The rule of thumb for a formal watch is stick to traditional timepieces. Traditional women’s watches are extremely versatile and can be styled to any occasion or look. More importantly, they are understated. Your watch should never distract from your outfit but instead play a supporting role in pulling your look together.
If you are wearing an evening dress, then the most formal occasion calls for simplicity in the timepiece. A suitable dress watch only needs a thin black or brown leather strap showing only hours, minutes, seconds and maybe the date at most. If you wear a metallic strap, then make sure it matches the metallic highlights in your outfit or other accessories
Minimalist
Monochromatic styles mean wearing the same overall tone but in varying shades and textures. The look can be anything but boring when pulled off right but your watch, just as with any other accessory must fall into line. The minimalist look is classy and elegant, so your watch face should represent that.
If you’re wearing all white, then wear a white face timepiece with a white strap, if you’re wearing black then sport a dark face with a dark strap. Minimalism calls for very clear lines and patterns, so don’t wear anything that distracts for the cleanliness of the style.
Casual chic
Stainless steel straps are the most versatile option for everyday use whether it is at the office, hitting the gym or going out shopping. Metallics should also be paired accordingly with your accessories. For example, if you have a gold clasp on your bag then try to wear a gold strap.
However, metal straps might not be the most comfortable thing to wear and comfort should be at the core of casual watches. It also is a time were you can be bolder with your colours.
For this reason, why not try multicoloured straps for a more relaxed style. It adds a hippie which edge to your outfit and you can always interchange them for other suitable options. —Online news.
