The watch is no longer the only piece that helps us tell the time. However, it is essential in creating and curating a presentable outfit. Without a watch, many people would feel naked; without it, an outfit can feel incomplete.
The watch is the final touch to level up one’s garb for the minimalist dresser. Stylist Sarah Saw agrees with this philosophy. She has overseen numerous photoshoots for watch publications and brands.
In this article, we’ll talk about the best ways millennial men can style their watches!
Choose Your Paramount Piece Well
If you’re a minimalist, you will undoubtedly have to be more than twice as discerning when choosing a watch. Our days look different from each other; there might be guys who spend 8 hours working in an office, while some work from the comfort of their homes, and there might even be guys who don’t work full-time.
For guys who are “clothes guys”—aka people who like thinking about their outfits—your watch has to be something that you do not second-guess at all. One recommendation is the Rolex Explorer 1016.
Another recommendation we have is the Seiko Astron, the world’s first GPS solar watch. Through the GPS network, this watch adjusts to your timezone. There is no need to change the battery with the Seiko Astron, either!
The world’s first GPS solar watch. Connecting to the GPS network, the Astron just needs the touch of a button and it will adjust to your current time zone; it also never needs a battery change.
Tone It Down When Needed
For the millennial man, simplicity is vital. Too much can be too much. Your watch should stand for your lifestyle and be more than just a fashion show on your wrist. A statement wristwatch for men is best paired with neutral tones and muted garb.
Remember to be mindful how you can dress for the occasion. Before heading out, take a good look at the mirror; if your outfit looks weird, you need to take out something.
Sizing
The right fit can be a game changer when it comes to fashion. That’s why many clothes look so good on celebrities like Nicola Coughlan and Zendaya; the fits are tailored for them. It’s the same when it comes to watches. You have to make sure the fit is good.
If you have a thinner wrist, a watch with a narrower strap and a thin case may be better. Those with larger wrists can pull off bolder designs.
Adjust the watch strap accordingly, and remember to consult a watch sizing guide if necessary.
Where To Wear
One debate in the horological community is whether you should wear your watch on the left or right hand. The non-dominant wrist is where you usually wear the watch to ensure ease of use. Regardless of which hand and wrist you wear your watch on, always ensure it’s worn above the wrist bone to be visible and comfortable!
Wrapping Up
Although the male millennial style is understated, a watch can do many things to level up the outfit. When styling your watch, don’t forget to make sure that the fit is good. Happy watch styling!
