Ah, January! It’s a great time to take stock and
give your wardrobe a long overdue clear out. Do you really need five plain
white shirts, for instance? And how many pairs of smart shoes should one person
own?
If you’ve been considering taking everything out of
your closet and starting again, think about doing it in these first – let’s
face it, pretty dreary – months of the New Year.
You can trim down your clobber and still look great
– and here’s why: perfect style isn’t always about the clothes you wear, but
what you complement them with. That statement piece of jewelery, bold printed
hat, or yes, even that watch you received for Christmas, could help you update
your look in an instant. Why?
Watches, in particular, offer the ideal way to make
a striking statement. They’re a practical accessory and they don’t scream ‘look
at me!’ in the same way a vibrant coat or head scarf might.
If
you’re someone who opts for simple yet stylish clothes for work or home, you’ll
know that your watch
plays a big part in updating your look by ensuring you always look well put
together.
They’re
easy to slip on and, providing you choose the right one, it’ll complement just
about any outfit too.
A
tailored suit, for example, will always look great with a simple silver watch.
While a quirky weekend outfit, on the other hand, could help you stand out even
more if you pair it with the right timepiece.
Luxury
watches don’t have to cost a fortune, either, with plenty of great styles
available online at not-to-be-missed prices. Want to update your look but want
to save some money in the process? Think about investing in a key piece like a
nice watch and swap and share other items with friends to ensure your wardrobe
gets an overhaul without breaking the bank.
If
you’re feeling uninspired by your clothes, organise a ‘swap and share’ party
with friends. You simply host the evening and friends and family can bring up
to five unwanted items, accessories work best as they can be worn by everyone,
regardless of their dress size – to swap with the group. It’s a lovely way to
update your clothing collection without having to spend any money – plus it’s a
nice idea for a girls’ night in with a difference and anything that isn’t
claimed by your friends can be donated to a good cause.
Already
own a statement watch? Head to the clothes swap party to look for accessories
that will pair perfectly with your new timepiece. Add coloured scarves, pumps
and maybe a new bag to your look and you’ll find that your outfit is updated in
no time at all.
Trends
may come and go, but one thing’s for certain – and that’s this: watches never
go out of fashion. So why not try a new look in 2017 and save pounds by doing
so? Luxury watches with budget price tags may be just the thing you’re looking
for to give you a New Year pick-me-up.
I don't usually wear a watch, but these look lovely!
Good post, love this sharing so much, thank you!
A watch compliments your outfit. I always wear a watch. I like it.
Watches definitely help complete a look or outfit. They look really nice!
