Trend Alert: The Boyfriend Watch

Submitted by Mimi on Tuesday, 16 March 201011 Comments

It seems like women have practically borrowed every possible piece of clothing from men’s wardrobe from tuxedo jackets to boyfriend jeans and oversized cardigans, so now we are eagerly moving on to their accessories. Sorry men, we love you so much that we can’t get enough of your clothes, especially that we can get away with wearing masculine garments.

The hottest spring accessory this fall is a men’s inspired watch. It’s definitely a statement piece that will make or break your outfit. The key when wearing masculine pieces is to always balance out with feminine pieces. So, whether you’re wearing jeans and a basic tee, a sweet ultra-femme frock or a sizzling cocktail dress, an oversized man’s watch infuses that perfect dose of irreverence that ups the cool quotient of any outfit.

I know tons of women out there who prefer men’s watches. Ladies, there is no need to borrow your men’s watch anymore; you can now have one of your own.

Below you can see some of my favourites for very different budgets from affordable to expensive to super expensive. Movado version is one of my favourites.

What do you think of this trend? Are you a supporter of the whole masculine fashion movement?

I have been wearing boyfriend watches for about 3 to 4 years now, every time I do I always get a compliment. It’s nice that the fashion world is finally catching up to me

I thought the latest in the boyfriend clothes trend was the boyfriend blazer. Hadn’t realised that we were on to the boyfriend accessories trend …. very funky though
