Work, then kickboxing, then a planning meeting. Everyone is busy, so what better time to wear a fabulous watch? Being late for a meeting? No way! Being chic while you are punctual? Oh yes! I make it a rule to myself to wear a timepiece during the day, so that I’m not late. To my surprise, my watch has become my favorite accessory. This year’s trends for watches have been exciting and practical. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Watches with bangles: A watch does not have to stand alone. Stacking a neutral watch with metallic bangles seamlessly incorporates your timepiece in with your other jewelry. The layers are fun and exciting, and it makes wearing a watch feel less “corporate.”
Michael Kors Large Runway Double Glitz Watch, Rose Golden, michaelkors.com, $325
2. Staple watch: No, not a watch made out of staples, but a trusty timepiece that is stylish enough to rock with your favorite outfit and neutral enough to go with just about anything. Watches are not cheap, so having a Staple Watch that you can rely on is key. It should reflect your style and be versatile. Make sure that your watch is water resistant and neutral in color. Here’s my Staple Watch and a few other favorites:
Skagen Faceted Glass Bezel Watch, nordstrom.com, $130
Riley Mini Ceramic Watch - Brown, fossil.com, $225
J.Crew's Timex® Traveler Watch, jcrew.com, $98
3. The Boyfriend/Oversized Watch: First the boyfriend jeans, and now the boyfriend watch. These oversized beauties are great because they can make your wrist look delicate, and as far as menswear trends go, this one is understated and looks great with a floral dress and blazer.
Michael Kors Large Runway Double Glitz Watch, Silver, michaelkors.com, $295
Here are some more watches and looks that I love. The best part about these looks is that the watches look natural, as if it is actually a part of the wrist. Notice that the timepieces are supposed to have a loose fit.

While you are checking out at the grocery store, grabbing drinks with the girls, or running the office, your watch is your best friend. Punctuality is timeless, and so are these accessories. So, do you have the time?
