Watches are more popular than they’ve ever been, and they are only getting bigger. Now, watches are the must-have accessory necessary for any look. We took a look at the current trending looks for men and women to make staying in style as simple as possible. Check out the best trends for the season at every price point.

Men:

1. Leather Straps

The leather strap is the ultimate go-to no matter what your style. If you like vintage, then a worn leather stap might be the perfect choice. If you like an understated piece, then a leather strap pairs well with a dress watch. Last, if you like to keep is casual and cool, then this is the right choice. The strap goes with nearly every watch style and gives a lighter feel than a traditional metal bracelet.

2. Classic Sports Watch

Some watch styles are a must-have for any collection and a classic sportswatch falls into this category. You will always need a casual, durable and reliable watch. Consider a watch with useful complications, like a chronograph with date and day. It’s also a bonus to have a water resistant watch. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer and Rolex Yachtmaster were two of out best-selling sports watches of the year.

3. Minimalist

If your style leans more silver and sleek, then this trend is perfect for you. A minimalist watch is contemporary and beautiful in its simplicity. For a beautiful, minimalist watch, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for style either. Some of the top watchmakers have mastered the art of simplistic watch design. Our favorite is the IWC Portofino with a mesh bracelet.

Women:

1. Colored Strap

Most watches have a plain face and simple strap, which is may not be the ultimate adornment to your look. That’s why we love the colored and patterned strap trend. We’ve seen a lot of people add a twist to their look with the perfect colored accent. Michele watches are perfect for this trend. Not only are the watches beautiful, but they are completely customizable. You can change out the strap with any color or pattern your heart desires.

2. Off the Runway

Trends are always set on the runway and watch trends are no different. If you are unsure of what watch is right for you, then check out watches from your favorite designers. Michael Kors has a popular line of watches with favorite styles like Camille and Bradshaw. For more unique pieces you can find watches from Versace and Chanel.

3. Rose Gold

Rose gold has had a moment this year and it looks like this is continuing into the new year. If you have trouble deciding between white and yellow gold, a subtle pink gold is a great compromise. The pink tone is feminine while also remaining neutral. It compliments any skin tone while also complimenting any color of your attire. We’ve yet to see a shade that rose gold doesn’t look good with.
