Today there is no need to wear a watch on your hand in order to know the time. This information can be accessed using any mobile device, and almost everyone has one - modern and functional or ordinary, “no bells and whistles”. The lack of “practical” use does not make women’s watches less in demand - now they have become an accessory, a kind of additional touch that makes the image complete and flawless. By choosing such an accessory in accordance with the current trends of 2020, you can make your look not only stylish, but also fashionable.
Fashion trends of women's watches 2020
Like any detail of an image, a watch can be fashionable and unfashionable. Speaking about current trends in an accessory, we mean certain shades, the shape of the case, the material and color of the strap, and the style orientation of the model. It is worth knowing that the design and other characteristics of watches are not as subject to the vagaries of fashion as, for example, clothes or shoes.
Reference. When planning to purchase a watch, you should not only take into account the trendy characteristics of the accessory, but also focus on your own taste, preferred clothing style and some other individual characteristics. High-quality mechanisms are quite expensive and purchasing several models for all occasions and for various looks is quite expensive - not every fashionable person can afford it.
So what is modern “watch” fashion? Its main trends include:
- Round or square dial. The first form is considered classic, but, as you know, classic is always in fashion. Square-shaped accessories with an interesting design can become the highlight of the look.
- Variety of colors. The palette of current shades depends on the style of the accessory. If this is a classic, then the trend is cases made of precious metals or steel coated with gold, silver or platinum, equipped with a bracelet or leather strap of the same tone in one of the traditional tones - black (ideal "company" for silver) and brown ("company" "to gold). In sports accessories, the palette is less restrained - red, green, blue, yellow, orange. The so-called bicolor models are relevant, where two complementary shades are in harmony. More modern, considered youth, accessories can be made in both bright and pastel colors. Among the latter, lilac, lemon and mint shades are considered especially relevant.
- Prints and unexpected combination of textures. It is fashionable to complement monochromatic dial tones with a variety of images and decor - for example, the contrast of metal and rhinestones looks interesting. In addition, various inscriptions are relevant. This makes the accessory unusual and memorable.
- Transparent body. An interesting trend when you can see how the mechanism works.
- Tandem with other accessories. This trend gives the image originality. It is important that the “main” and “auxiliary” accessories are combined in style and color. The ideal combination is a minimalist watch and a laconic bracelet.
