Colourful timepieces to illuminate your watch collection
Add a little spring to your step with these preppy timepieces that are sure to delight
By 'Alyaa Iman Imran -
Black, silver and gold are so passé. This season, we want all things colourful, cheery and beautiful. Although there’s nothing wrong with having classy watches, adding a little colour into our daily lives adds that splash that we all want (and need) from time to time.
To help you with that, we’ve found a few watches that aren’t black, silver, or gold – we’ve got an enchanting emerald green piece, a fiery red and a watch that dons more than one vivid colour. Too much? We don’t think so.
The best times to wear these timepieces are when you’re wearing neutrals like beige, grey, white or black. On the other hand, you could wear them when you want to highlight a portion of your outfit – wearing a red watch with a red blouse would accentuate the hue. So scroll through the gallery for the gorgeous shades.
