Last season’s trend of coloured watches has now amalgamated with innovative stylish straps to announce the new trend of this season. Classy, elegant and ultra trendy is the latest style mantra. While all the bright colours will continue to splash the look, brown will be crowned as the colour of the season. It will be seen dominantly across designs irrespective of the material used. Fancy straps will be the highlight of watches this time. Straps with centre fair i.e. middle links with a touch of difference, innovative bracelets straps, cross over straps (criss-cross pattern) in all materials are the various trends that will make watches more chic this year. Another trend that will rule the season is straps in asymmetry. Coordinated asymmetrical patterns in aligned straps give a funky yet a chic look at the same time. Crystals and stones will add the much needed spark to all the styles. Crystals on the bezel, the strap, the dial and even on the side of the bezel will be a rage. The right watch for the right occasion is all about personal style. Watches heavily embellished with crystals and stones are ideal for eveningwear. Colours like brown, white, black, silver, gold, rosegold — alone and in combination — suit well for a formal occasion. While peach, orange, brown, blue, pink, silver, white look perfect as casuals.
