Rising in popularity since the 1920’s, wristwatches serve as timepieces, functional jewelry, and collectible works of art. Like most statement pieces, the designs of watches have evolved and changed over the years. Ranging in price from cheap to outlandish, classic designs remain popular, but each season brings new trends in fashion watches!
Classic designs, such as leather straps and metal bracelets are perennially at the top of most designers’ lists. These styles endure, and most expensive investment pieces fit in this category. These elegant timepieces last through the tests of time and serve their owner well in casual and refined situations. If you don’t own a watch, this is the first category you should peruse. You can pick up a classically-designed watch in almost all price ranges. The upscale brands carry status and are collectibles.
If you’re looking for a trendy, fun design, this summer is bringing in some new and previously seen trends. The oversized watch is still popular, especially for women. Rose gold has been seen all over the runway, and watches incorporating this metal are on the front page of many shopping websites.
Ceramic watches are still sought-after, but instead of silver and gold, many are featuring the previously mentioned rose gold. However, oversized gold watches are still “in”. Military-style watches are popping up everywhere for both men and women, and watches incorporating fun, vibrant colors remain big this fall and into next spring. Rubber straps are no longer just used for cheap, sports watches. Instead, rubber is being used in many classic designs by expensive brands.
Try on a few watches and determine what style is the most “you”. With all of the fashionable designs out there, you’re sure to find a hit. Instead of using a wristwatch to merely keep track of the time, find a style that complements your fashion sense and makes a statement.
