Many years ago pocket watches were pretty popular. With the rise of technology and many people using a smartphone to tell time, the pocket watch fashion industry slowly declined. With today’s current fashion standards, we’ve started to see an incline in those who wear Pocket Watches. Today I’m sharing tips on how to wear a pocket watch because this will be a fashion statement you won’t want to miss out on being part of.
New or Used Pocket Watch
You’ll want to take into consideration whether to buy a pocket watch that’s new or used. A newer Brass Pocket Watch, for example, will last a lot longer, may come with a warranty and will be up to par with the fashion standards of current times. A used pocket watch is perfect for someone who doesn’t mind the wear and tear old fashion look and isn’t going to worry about the costs involved if it stops working due to old age.
Select Design and Material
The design and material selected for your next or first pocket watch is mostly about preferences. You may have your own fashion sense and an idea of what outfits you’ll wear this pocket watch with. A traditional pocket watch may incorporate a woodland scene whereas a pocket watch from the black collection at Fob & Co will be fashionable for any outfit. The choice is up to you, but do your best to review all pocket watch options as this purchase will be an important investment.
Consider a Chain
You may need to buy a chain for your pocket watch. Most pocket watch chains offer many closure options such as a claw, a hook or spring-loaded catch. It’s a great way to hook your pocket watch inside of a pocket on your outfit. Some pocket watch chains end with a decorative fob versus an actual clasp or catch. The decision to buy a chain will ultimately depend on your preferred style and whether you’ll want to ensure the watch is connected to you safely so that you don’t lose it.
Include Pocket Watch in Outfits
Lastly, you can easily wear a pocket watch as an extension to a particular outfit. For example, if you’re going to a fancy suit and tie event, you may wear a button up vest that allows you to hook the pocket watch chain to a button of the vest, and place the pocket watch in the front pocket. This is a fancy way to show off your elegant fashion style when attending a suit and tie event. You may also go with a simple look where you have your pocket watch in the pocket of your jeans with the decorative chain hanging from your belt loop.
The options to wear a pocket watch are endless. Pocket watches are a fashion trend that’s slowly coming back to society. Pocket watches will be a popular gift idea this year, just wait and see. Shopping online for your next pocket watch purchase is important so that you can see the ample options in style, color, and design.
