Rules of Matching Your Watch with Your Dress Code

Every occasion calls for a certain dress code. A gentleman attending a black-tie event in a tuxedo surely looks elegant and attractive. It’s a gesture of class, poise and an aura that attracts all eyes. But when he casually lifts his hand to check the time on a sporty, Casio calculator wristwatch with rubber strap, then something is unpleasantly queer with his dress code. Here are some rules to help you develop the uncommon knack of matching watches with the dress code.

Traditional watchmakers have always emphasized on manufacturing timepieces to fit any occasion. Panerai watches for sale feature different classes: Luminor, Luminor Marina as well as Mare Nostrum. These offer a variety of timepieces to go with any sort of attire of your liking.

Below is a simple guide as to which type of watch to wear for an occasion.

  • Black/ White Tie Event. Traditionally, an individual wouldn’t wear a watch to a black-tie party, for it was a time out of time. Granted, for such an occasion, find a minimalistic watch with simple embellishments on the face and a black leather band.
  • Office Wear. If you’re adorning in an office wear, a simple, classic watch; perhaps gold or silver. It should have a thin dial with limited sophistication.
  • Sharp Casual. A sharp casual dress code refers to a button-down shirt, simple khakis, denim, leather shoes and no tie. It is the sort of dress code for a laid-back day at the office. And for such an occasion, a little sophistication does the trick. Therefore, try wearing a watch with a large face with a tinge of sophistication.
  • Casual Wear. For a casual look; jeans and tees, any watch type can be worn except the dress watch (the watch with a plain white face and no complications). If you’re indulging in a physical activity, try a watch that is strong enough to endure the continuous beat from environmental elements.

Why January is the Ideal Time to Purchase a Watch

January marks the beginning of a new year. And apart from the new year’s resolutions people have, January offers the best time to purchase a watch. The following are reasons why.

1.      There’s Less Likelihood of Your Favorite Watch to Sell Out in January

During the holiday season, a lot of items in store shelves are sold out. This is the most frustrating aspect about Christmas. However, if you love collecting watches, January is the best time to shop because there is less traffic in stores and finding that watch you want is highly possible.

2.      Watch Prices Go Down in January

A lot of things in life lie in oblivion. But one thing for sure is that January follows the Christmas rush and shopping sprees. And if you have someone whom you didn’t gift with a Boxing Day present, January is the ideal time for purchasing a watch at a discounted price. Basically, you need to shop for the items you want in January, not those that are discounted.
