Colour Rules Watches come in many colours, so it might be hard to choose one out of the pool. Naturally, we tend to go for a certain colour scheme and hardly change it.

It's the general and important rule to match your watch with your belt and shoes. Monochrome Palette Monochrome palette involves black, grey wardrobe. If you are fond of monochrome tones, then you can stick to grey and black straps. Another way of styling a monochrome outfit is to wear a chain watch for men, they give that sophisticated and classic look to the appearance. If you want to spice things up with a small dose of colour in your strap then go with minimalist watches so they don't become the main focus of your outfit. Cool tone In summers and during the daytime, cool colour tones like blue, pastels, light shades go perfectly with casual outfits. Anything matching navy/blues is always a safe bet or something light to medium tones. Green and purple are comparable, while red, yellow and orange are complementary tones. Earth tones Earth tones are the brown tones and shades. One of the most loved and wearable straps is brown. For adding some contrast, try adding a more saturated brighter colour. Brown and dark brown are one of the best and classic watch straps loved by every age and sex. So, style your watch as per the day, occasion and outfit. Bottom line The watch straps rules mentioned above make it easy and convenient for you to choose the right colour tone straps for your watch. The other factor that matters is the thickness of the watch strap; you must consider it before wearing.
