Women have always had a special relationship with their accessories. You know how we sometimes build entire outfits around a necklace, for instance. But haven’t you notice the attention paid right now to timepieces? Fashionable watches aren’t just functional, they are so uniquely stylish they deserve the spotlight you will give to your new handbag. See the watch trends for Fall 2013 and find out what suits you best. That’s right – punctuality never looked so good!
Wearing a fashionable watch is the easiest way to bring luxury and style into your season wardrobe. Big, small, casual or luxurious, every watch can actually set the tone for your look and can be transformed from day to night if you know how to style it. Women who want a classic and timeless look would prefer the fashion’s favourite square-faced timepiece come to spotlight back in the beginning of the 20th century. It’s not only the accessory worn by first ladies such as Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Obama, it becomes one of the iconic styles of Chanel, which returned this winter in a new collection of the luxury brand. XOXO’s Zebra Patterned Band with Chains Accents Double Wrap Watch is a great example how the classics just never go out of style. This fall, the timepiece will be the perfect accessory, with its lovely chains and 3-fold band. You won’t have to wear it with chunky cuffs or bracelets – it makes a statement on its own. And what’s better – this zebra combo goes with almost any outfit and colour, so you can wear it day and night.
And if you love animal prints, consider getting this Cheetah Patterned Band with Chains Accent Double Wrap Watch. Gold tones resembling the golden leaves and the beauty of nature are among the classic autumn styles, so you just won’t regret it. Besides, next year it will be as trendy as it is now.
One of the biggest trends in fashionable watches, oversize watches, remains strong this season. Of course, gender-bending watches are nothing new, but they are as powerful and bold as women wearing the pants. This is the perfect style for ladies who want the so adorable casual-chic, modern effect. You can choose from various designs, colours and materials at FranFran’s store when it comes to oversize timepieces. The Two-Tone Bracelet Analog Watch combines the big size with another huge trend in accessories right now – crystals. Its huge face looks masculine and sporty, while the crystals make it elegant and attractive, and especially good for casual occasions. Of course, we can’t miss everyone’s favourite style right now – rose gold tones. Trend-conscious ladies will fall for this Rose Gold-Tone Leopard Dial Bracelet Watch – right now rose-gold timepieces are the Rolls-Royce of watches, and if you don’t wish to pay as much as a car on a single Rolex, this XOXO model is your perfect option.
Of course, vintage watches and those having rubber bands are still in style. This summer, bright-coloured rubber bands are the big hit – the XOXO Rhinestone Accent Fuschia Silicone Strap Watch is confident, feminine and definitely grabs all the attention. But a black version, with crystals, let’s say, will be the great for the fall.
If you still feel you haven’t found your style, you may consider getting a bracelet watch – they are a are really universal – they are beautiful, elegant and some of your friends may even not notice you are actually wearing a watch! The Gold Mirror Dial Gold-Tone Charm Watch and the Silver Dial Silver-Tone Charm Bracelet Watch are amazing additions and highlights of your outfit.
