Bulky and oversized, boyfriend watches have a masculine flair to them, and often come with chunky bands and stainless steel accents that are bound to stand out. You can find casual ones like black or silver analog watches, but there are also models that come with colorful bands, feminine-hued faces, and diamonds.
Classic men’s watches on a woman’s wrist look very professional, and they are so versatile that they can be worn on a daily basis. Because of their size, they’re bound to attract attention, so it’s best to wear them with simple ensembles and jewelry. A black blazer and a classic tee is always a hit, while strappy heels or chunky boots will add a feminine flair to your outfit.

If you’re looking for a way to add a minimalist, modern flair to your casual outfit combination, smart wearables are the way to go. Innovative and simple in design, smartwatches are easily blendable with the rest of the outfit, yet stylish and cool enough to enrich the look and give it a refined touch.
These timepieces appeal to both genders, and because they come in a variety of styles and finishes, they complement practically any style. Whether you prefer traditional or sporty models, smartwatches can be combined with various fashion accessories and look great regardless of whether you’re hitting the gym in your athleisure, enjoying your weekend break in your casual attire, or heading to the office in your professional attire.

When it comes to leather watches, they can look very elegant and stylish when paired with the right accessories. The tone of the leather band will dictate your shoe and belt color choices, so if you are wearing a watch with a black leather strap, make sure that you coordinate it with a black belt and shoes. The same thing goes for brown watch bands, although black leather is generally deemed as more formal than brown leather. The hues of the accessories don’t need to be all matchy-matchy, but they should be similar (dark, medium, or light).
As for the style, there are many beautiful designer watches that can be worn by both genders and that can function for almost any occasion. From dinner parties to banquets to business settings, leather watches are always a hit and perfect for everyday use as they match practically any outfit.

A trendy metallic hue rose gold is quite a romantic-sounding material that often draws the attention of women who like to accentuate their feminine side and tend to dress in a way that shows off their best features. Form-fitting garments, pastels, and details in forms of frills, lace, bows, and floral patterns bring out women’s softer side, and they pair perfectly with watches that put a feminine twist on classic metallic hues.
Coordinate your blush-toned watch with other jewelry pieces you’re wearing while also paying attention to your skin tone. Rose gold and gold look good together because they’re both warm tones, which can’t be said for combinations like rose gold-silver because silver tones are cool. Therefore, be sure to coordinate your bag clasps, rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and belt and shoe buckles with your watch to look more polished and put-together.
With so many watch styles, finding one can be tricky. Follow this guide to ensure you get the best watch for yourself and style it the right way. Trust us when we say, something as simple as a stylish watch can make a world of difference to your outfit if you know what to look for.
