Respectable fashion and jewelry brands keep releasing new and charming watch designs with every collection. These accessories find customers all the time - not only because they are practical items, but also because the designs range from masculine and sober pieces to playful and to glamorous and charming. It can be easy to fall in love with one of those wristwatches for their stunning appearance, but making the right choice is usually difficult. Here is how to go past the infatuation and purchase a watch that matches your wardrobe and your personality.

First of all, you need to assess your style. If you are the sporty and casual type, a round watch case with a rubber bracelet is the best choice. In this case, bold colors go well, too. However, it is never a good idea to pair one such watch with more elegant clothes or with an outfit that needs to be seductive. If you need one to match that style, you can opt for the metallic type. These come in many shapes, like round, square or rectangular, and can also be from very thin to oversized. To add a more precious touch, opt for a piece that's adorned with small crystals. You can simply wear it as jewelry, with no need to add different bracelets for more effect. This suits the glamorous individuals.

Consider your body type, height and size when purchasing watches. Although you may feel terribly attracted to big, round watches, small ones might be the wise choice for you if you have small wrists and are generally thin. Also, big watches are considered masculine. Ladies look more stylish when they opt for small case and bracelet, in either round, oval or rectangular shape. Besides, if the clothing has a rather fluid aspect, don't pair it with a very rough, angular watch model, as this is not a welcome contrast. Buy instead one which also has a fluid or rounded shape.

A type of watch that looks great with many occasions is the one featuring a leather bracelet. For both men and women, it can complement outfits from business to casual. The leather usually comes in colors that are not difficult to wear, such as black, ivory, grays, browns, or red. Although these look stylish and amazing, it is best though to leave them aside when wearing a too posh party outfit, when metallic watches would make a better impression. With such occasions, leather tends to be on the casual side.

Whenever looking to buy watches make sure you take into account the aforementioned aspects: the watch size, shape and material, the existing adornments, your personal style, and the outfits it should be matched with.
