Whether you like high fashion pieces or timeless elegance, a watch polishes your look, so let’s take a peek at how to pair your weekend attire with a timepiece to match.
Casual Men
Cargos, a plain tee and deck shoes look best with an understated rugged watch. The outdoor gent will always appreciate a good quality timepiece that is able to withstand the elements. Look for watches with a strong material or leather strap that are waterproof and scratch resistant. Omega offer relaxed casual watches that fit the bill nicely.
Casual Ladies
Visiting the stores to shop the latest trends or looking stylish at a country house retreat requires a watch that looks laid-back.
Oversized watches look great without trying too hard. If your outfit is pared down and understated your watch can stand out, so go crazy with your style. Why not try a large-faced watch with a thin strap that fits your arm comfortably and looks great? Light coloured timepieces, such as an Ice Watch, come in a rainbow of colours with floral or tropical styles to choose from.
Rose gold is a good colour option for casual weekend dressing. Less formal than gold, but can be dressier than silver or steel. Skinny jeans and fitted tops with a high-end watch is rock-star fabulous and who doesn’t want to rock that trend.
If your taste is quirky look for a young-at-heart watch thats cartoon character inspired. A twist on the childhood favourite is a grown-up Disney watch. There are lots of these around so search for a strap and colour that tickles your sense of humour.
Classic Gents
Casual weekend dressing can mean jeans, a body-warmer and a beanie, but you can swap for chinos, a polo shirt and Chelsea boots.
If a classic style is more to your taste then your watch needs to look a sight more top end. From Rolex to Tag Heuer or Breitling to Cartier there are plenty to choose from and the options are endless. Both metal and leather straps possess more formal looks and classic designs, perfectly fit for a gentleman. Watches of Switzerland have all the top luxury brands in one place (ladies too!) which is handy for browsing.
Classic Ladies
Perhaps you’re a bit more old-fashioned and prefer classic, vintage styles? Then it’s gold all the way.
A lady-like watch with a tailored weekend style is a look that will never age. Match your 1950s style watch with a lambswool jumper and fitted cigarette pants, or sailor trousers with a curve-enhancing twinset. Small watches enhance slim wrists and draw attention to your nails so paint them dark red and flaunt that dainty timepiece.
Take your time to select a timepiece that suits your style. Whether you like to look classic and chic on the weekend or sporty and laid-back your watch will polish off your look.
