The RIGHT Watch to Wear with Your Outfits (Casual to Formal)

About this video

The Gazette team provides guidance on selecting appropriate watches for different dress codes and occasions, ranging from casual settings to black tie events. They explain how watch formality, design details, and strap choices should align with outfit formality to create a refined and coherent look.

Key takeaways

  • The Gazette team argues that casual occasions call for practical, rugged sports watches like the Omega Seamaster or G-Shock, while dressier occasions require more refined, minimal designs
  • The Gazette team recommends matching watch strap materials to outfit formality—metal bracelets and casual nato straps for everyday wear, refined leather for business casual and business wear
  • For black tie events, the Gazette team advises choosing minimal, sleek, elegant watches with subtle dials and ensuring metal harmonization with shirt studs and cufflinks; for white tie, they recommend forgoing a visible watch or opting for a discreet pocket watch
