How to Choose a
Fashionable Men’s Watch
A first-rate watch commands power and gives your
wardrobe a classy spin. But if you're glancing at
your watch as we speak, wondering where I'm going
with this, then you're ready to move on to my next
piece of advice. A trendy watch is a great way to
add some style to your weekend or evening look.
Whether you're looking for a slight image change or
simply want to give your classic watch a rest on the
weekends, today's fashionable watches might just
provide you with the time of your life.
Whenever you're up for a dose of diversity in your
image, you can count on leather to give you a kick
in the hide. Leather seems to be a mainstay of the
fashion world, appearing in the form of jackets and
pants, and even making a cameo as a detail on your
sweater and of course, as a watchstrap. In fact, one
of the hottest looks out there today for guys is a
wide leather wristband, and that style has seeped
into the watch market. Diesel is one company that
makes watches with a brown leather cuff. While this
timepiece is simple, it reeks of style thanks to its
white, minimalist face and steel bar detail. The
hands are almost reminiscent of cigarettes, but one
thing is clear: wearing this watch with a pair of
jeans for a casual night out will make all your
insecurities go up in smoke.
If you want to play hard to get, you can conceal the
time with a popular watch that seems to know its
place as a piece of jewelry. One of today's popular
watches features a face covered by a steel flap,
adding an element of originality to your timepiece.
Some modern-looking watches stray from convention;
thanks to their face shape and time display. Don't
be afraid to take a walk on the wild side with a
digital watch that tells time from top to bottom
rather than clockwise.
In addition, a tan strap gives a timepiece a more
casual appearance, while the face's shape and style
lend a modern, minimalist appeal. This is the
perfect watch for your business casual attire. But
if you're looking for a more conservative look that
blends class and cool, then a steel watch with a
mesh band, like those from Kenneth Cole, are the
perfect solution. A mesh strap is another good way
to show your penchant for style without going
overboard, and makes this timepiece a nice
alternative to your regular business watch. Prove to
your colleagues that you're not afraid to take
chances when it comes to time management.
It's always nice to attract attention and, with a
funky watchstrap, you'll be attracting the right
kind. Bright, multicolored, nylon straps are popping
up on watches everywhere, and make for a great
sporty look to add to your jeans and T-shirt, or
track pants and sweatshirt. Whether the strap is
Velcro, nylon or terry cloth (like a sweatband), a
multicolored strap adds a risqué detail to your
timepiece, as do the colors in the watch face. This
watch is particularly casual and should not be part
of your business attire.
Switching things up with a new watch can be a great
(and possibly expensive) way to inject some style
into an otherwise boring wardrobe. Like new cologne,
a funky tie or cool sunglasses, a watch can provide
a "quick fix" solution to a change in image. It's
also an easy way to try something different if
you're usually a conservative guy.
