Timing is everything. That's why sporting a watch that fits you is so important. Are you classic? Wear a traditional gold or silver band, thick and masculine for guys and thin and dainty for girls. Want to make a fashion statement? Wear a thick-banded logo watch like the ones Louis Vuitton makes. Ditch the classy and go for funky, donning your wrist with colors galore ÷ or maybe do a little gender bending: ladies, wear your dad's watch and see how it makes a traditionally feminine outfit feel edgy and exciting.

Whether you splurged for the Rolex, inherited a hand-me-down or hit the thrift store, only time will tell which trends last. So for now, wear what you want and live in the moment!
