5 Tips On Matching A Watch With Outfit | How To Match Watches With Different Clothes | Formailty
About this video
Centeno teaches five principles for matching watches to outfits, including aligning watch formality with dress code, coordinating leather bands with shoes and belts, matching metal finishes, knowing when to break rules with heirloom pieces, and using shoe formality as a reference guide. He presents a chart categorizing watches and dress codes to help viewers make informed styling decisions.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that watch formality should match outfit formality, organizing both into five categories (dress, diver, chrono/sport, pilot, and field watches paired with white tie through sport dress codes)
- Centeno recommends that leather watch bands should complement—not necessarily match exactly—the color of shoes and belts, while metal finishes should similarly coordinate with other metal accessories
- Centeno contends that heirloom and sentimental watches can transcend standard styling rules because they become conversation pieces and memorable personal items
