Trend Alert: The Macho Watch

June 18, 2008

Remember when Nina Garcia lent us some wise words? Remember one of her fashion essentials was a man's watch? I thought this was the most niche of her picks, as someone who doesn't even wear a watch, but I understand its appeal. The macho watch is strong, cool and sexy, in that power dressing kind of way. Not convinced? Ask Ashley Olsen what time it is.

I have been wearing my husbands watch for years! Its a great accessory for sure.

I love this look but don't think I wear it well. I have a very small wrist.

I really don't like wearing watches...

I have one actually! It's a large, Michael Kors watch that is manly in size, but totally feminine, since the face of the watch is enclosed with small crystals. I love it:)

Every luxaholic NEEDS a mens watch... not for everyday use, but for those times where it adds so much to that simple outfit, just like Ashley Olsen did here! I have one and loove it!

I looove mens' watches and clunky watches in general. I have a bunch of cheapies with different colored bands that I've gotten off overstock.com and I wear my husband's big stainless steel watch a lot too.

I love this trend. I think it's so cute. It's almost like a chunky bracelet. I love my men's inspired Anne Klein watch

After being watch less for two years, I was having dinner with my dad and told him that I needed one and he took the one he was wearing and gave it to me. Its a classic men´s watch, not too big and it gives a cool twist to my daily outfits.

Ooh, I love borrowing my dad's watches (or my brother's for that matter)! :D They look great on my wrist and it doesn't look too 'manly'..haha :p

I have a men's watch I got at Wal*Mart! I love it and I agree that it makes a great masculine spin on things. I like to wear it with something kinda girly so I can make it a little more funky. I have small wrists too, but I just had links taken out. So you if you have small wrists, that's no excuse not to try it! I bet you could find something.
