Question 17

How do you wear a bracelet with a watch for ladies?

Accepted Answer

To wear a bracelet with a ladies' watch, consider the look and fit of your timepiece. If your watch fits tightly at the wrist, selecting a looser bracelet, such as a bangle or a tennis bracelet, to wear above it can make a stylish pairing. In contrast, a looser watch might look appealing positioned above a close-hugging cuff. For a balanced look, choose a bracelet that is a different thickness than your watch. Think of two slender charm bracelets stacked above and below a chunky watch or a bracelet with large beads worn alongside a thinner watch. Metal finishes are another key consideration. If you want a more dramatic look, mix and match finishes, or select a bracelet in the same finish as your timepiece for a subtler statement. There really are no rules when it comes to layering watches, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to see what you like the best.
