(Newswire.net — March 17, 2017) — Watches are a symbol of luxury, class, and taste in fashion, along with being a conversation starter. The way you match your watch to your outfit makes a huge first impression. A great watch can provide confidence and flair to your everyday life.

1. Match the Occasion

When wearing a watch, it is important to match your watch to whatever you are doing or wherever you are going. Many people make the mistake of wearing the same watch to the bar, gym or casual outing, and to work to match with their suit. This is a huge mistake. Always make sure to pick a classy watch with a reasonable face size to match your suit and look professional and stylish.

2. Blend with Your Outfit

A common mistake people make with watches is to wear it below your sleeve and show off. Anyone who will really take the time to notice your watch will notice it whether you show it off or not. Your watch should be slightly covered by your sleeve when your hands are down at your sides.

3. Match Your Watch with Your Shoes and Belt

When you don’t take the time to match your accessories, it shows. It is important to always match your shoes, belt and watch band. You should always purchase multiple color leather bands for your watch to match your look together with your black shoes, black belt and black watch band. This way, even if you decide to wear a bright color, you have a combo to match.

4. Wear the Right Sized Band

If you go out and are always adjusting your watch because it is sliding up and down your arm, you have the wrong size! A major rookie mistake is to wear your watch too loose. You may say that you don’t want to cut off blood circulation, but you should always find a happy medium with a watch band that fits.

5. Find the Right Face Size

A common trick people use to show off their watch is to buy one with a very large face. This is a big problem! It will take up too much space on your arm and get in your way. Never buy a watch above 50mm. A watch between 34mm and 40mm is ideal for any occasion.

6. Don’t Go Overboard with Jewlery

While you may have a number of different bracelets you love, you don’t want to stack up too many things on one wrist. This will look messy and overdone. Five pieces should be worn at the most. If you insist on wearing more, spread them apart between both wrists.
