Combining watches correctly: these 5 basic rules should be observed

Combine watches with the right outfit: The 5 basic rules

Matching a watch with the right outfit isn't as hard as building a rocket to the moon, nor is it one of those math problems the world can't solve. You also don't need to have a career in fashion to make the right choice. Finding the perfect balance can be a little more complicated than you think. It's not enough to simply choose the first things you find in your closet. (Also read: Pocket Watches: These stylish timepieces aren't just for Peaky Blinders fans)

The right watch for the right outfit

Just like sneakers or suits, there are also watches for a wide variety of occasions. Some are more casual, others sporty or luxurious. There are also colorful bracelets, made of leather or metal. So if you really want every outfit you wear to look perfect (because, believe it or not, there are those who take care of everything), you should choose your watch wisely.

There are almost no absolute rules when it comes to fashion - but there are some general guidelines to help you achieve the best possible result. And that is what keeps you from sending the wrong message to the world. (You should already know that clothes aren't just clothes and the accessories you wear say more than you think. That's also why Trump wore red ties and Paul Newman always wore a Rolex.)

The clock may seem like a very small detail, but it can take you very far. There are even entire books that report on the effects of wearing a watch. In general, men probably don't wear as much jewelry as women, especially in more formal situations. However, a watch can go with any type of look and that is why you need to know how to combine them correctly. (Also interesting: These three clocks glow particularly brightly in the dark)

How to match your watch to your outfit:

Rule #1: Keep it formal

It's not about price, there are expensive watches that aren't exactly formal. It's much more about choosing the right timepiece for the type of outfit you're going to be wearing. For example, for black tie events, you need a dress watch that stands out for its minimalist design and black leather strap.
