How to Style Watches: Colours, Metals, and Accessories
A watch is an expression of your individuality and sense of style, not merely a timepiece. Adding jewellery and accessories to your ensemble may make it stand out whether you're dressing for a formal evening event, a company meeting, or a casual day out in Melbourne.
The choices are unlimited, ranging from sleek, contemporary designs to timeless pieces with a nod to the past. You may make your watch the focal point of your ensemble by layering jewellery, playing with textures, and matching metals. Let's look at how to accessorise your timepieces, whether they are digital, vintage, or have Swarovski® crystals set inside them.
Why a Watch is the Ultimate Style Staple
Watches are versatile objects that combine fashion and function. There's something for all occasions, whether you prefer the timeless sterling silver pieces of 925 Signature Silver, the vibrant patterns of Bullion Gold, or the magnificent watches with Swarovski® crystals of Krystal Couture.
Statement watches with gold-tone finishes or embellishments reminiscent of antiques shine in formal situations, while delicate watches with simple faces are ideal for daily wear. Wear jewellery from brands like Guess or Michael Kors with an affordable Seiko or Fossil watch from eBay for a little more glitz.
How to Style Watches: Do’s and Dont’s
Do: Match Metals for a Polished Look
Wearing matching metal jewellery with your watch gives it a polished and unified look. Wear matching necklaces and bracelets, such as layered pieces from, with a gold-toned watch. Sterling silver accessories from 925 Signature Silver look stunning with silver-tone timepieces.
Don’t: Overwhelm with Excess Accessories
Don't overdo the jewellery if your wristwatch is already a focal point, such as a Krystal Couture design adorned with Swarovski® crystals. For balance, try wearing it with simple stud earrings or a Pandora bracelet with just one charm.
Mastering Bracelet Stacking
You can show off your individual style by layering bracelets with your watch. To master this art, follow these steps:
- Begin Small: Wear a digital or delicate watch with one or two bracelets, such as a bangle or chain made of sterling silver.
- Mix Textures: Put together elaborate patterns, gemstone bracelets, and silky cuffs. For instance, a striking Bullion Gold watch looks great with delicate Coach bangles or 925 Signature Silver textured accessories.
- Put Comfort First: Your bracelets should complement your appearance without becoming constrictive.
Combining Watches with Clothes
Easy Styles
Wear sterling silver jewellery with a basic timepiece for a laid-back yet fashionable look. Denim pants and a flowy blouse look great with a watch with a vintage feel. To finish your outfit, add small details like stacking rings.
Professional Wear
A sleek Tommy Hilfiger or Fossil watch is perfect for the office. Pair it with understated earrings or a single bracelet for a polished, professional appearance.
Evening Glam
For evening events, a luxury watch with embellishments—like those from Krystal Couture—steals the show. Pair it with bold gemstone earrings or layered necklaces to exude confidence and glamour.
