Matching your watch with your outfit may not be the highest on your list of priorities. After all, you\u2019ve got the sharp suit, the beautiful shoes – why should you care about what is on your wrist? Matching your watch to your clothes is actually the finishing touch to your dressing.<\/p>\n
Men don\u2019t wear a lot of jewellery, as a rule, so making sure that you have a bit of quiet, understated glamour about you is an important thing. Imagine walking into the office, smart as anything in your tailored suit and handmade shoes, while wearing a cheap, plastic watch with a rubber strap!<\/p>\n
It would let the rest of the outfit down. You may not know the first thing about how to match your watch with your outfit, so read on for some handy tips\u2026<\/p>\n
Obviously, there is a vast selection of different types of watch out there. These can be broadly categorised into two types: digital<\/strong> and analogue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A digital<\/strong> watch shows time in numeric form, and typically has a plastic or a rubber strap. These are great for going to the gym, or out for a walk with the kids, but you don\u2019t generally wear one for dressy or more formal occasions.<\/p>\n The analogue <\/strong>type are the ones that you will be pairing with your smarter clothes, so let\u2019s look at these types and what they go with in a bit more detail.<\/p>\n A dress watch <\/strong>is designed for very formal events. It has a thin black strap, and none of the extra complications that watches can come with.<\/p>\n A dive watch <\/strong>was designed for (you guessed it!) underwater diving, and has a metal band and easy to read numerals.<\/p>\n Racing\/driving watches <\/strong>are medium to large, and often come in bright, contrasting colours.<\/p>\n A pilot watch<\/strong> was designed to be used in the cockpit, so has a large face and luminous hands, and a chronograph. The strap is generally made of leather.<\/p>\n Field watches <\/strong>were designed for the trenches of WW1 and are small to medium, with a leather or canvas strap and no complications.<\/p>\n
