An easy way to make a memorable, unexpected fashion statement is to wear a watch with an oversized face, particularly a men’s watch. Women who prefer the cleaner lines and subtler design of men’s watches are now considering this oversized watch to add more style to an ensemble. Below, some outfit ideas to complement with the iconic timepiece:
1. Mini Blazer Dress
The blazer dress is the sexier, party-ready cousin of the corporate boardroom staple. This piece can take you from power dressing during the day to polished partying at night. Pair this inexplicably cool hybrid with pointy pumps and wear the watch for a strong, sleek look that’ll instantly promote you to style icon status.
2. Turtleneck + Plaid Trousers
The simplicity of this retro-inspired look still manages to pack a high fashion punch, and it’s perfect for when you want something a bit more relaxed at the office or for a day out in the city. The stainless steel timepiece with gold straps will definitely match the ensemble’s vintage-casual elegance.
3. Animal-Print Top + Midi Skirt
Wild as it looks, animal print has a place in the corporate setting when styled correctly. Pair a billowy leopard- or snakeskin-print top with a tailored pencil skirt that falls a few inches below your knees for a look that pushes the envelope of office wear. This pairing is smart but not boring; practical but still stylish. To add a bit more structure to the ensemble, wear it with the watch.
4. Double Deep Slit Dress + Jeans
Layering a feminine double slit dress over skinny jeans gives an unexpectedly fashion-forward spin to a casual, everyday look. Add some flair to this outfit by stacking thin bangles on your wrist along with the oversized watch with rubber straps.
5. All-White Outfit
This is probably the chicest (and most intimidating) iteration of monochrome dressing. It can work for a wide variety of occasions—more tailored pieces for a formal event or a mix of lighter fabrics for casual occasions. Accessories like a cool studded belt, a miniature beaded clutch, or the watch will keep the outfit from looking too monotonous.
