Watches are more than just time telling devices; they’re fashion accessories. The versatility of a watch is often elevated by the strap and swapping straps can totally change the look and feel of a watch. Among the many options out there, suede watch straps and NATO watch straps are two that stand out for their uniqueness and seasonality.
Suede watch straps are fancy. The soft, velvety texture is perfect for autumn and winter. The muted, warm tones of suede straps – from rich browns and earthy greens to deep burgundies – go with the layered looks of these seasons.
A suede strap with a classic watch adds a bit of luxury to a tweed jacket or a wool sweater. The material’s natural texture and nap is cozy and intimate, perfect for the autumn’s golden tones and winter’s frost. Plus, suede straps are comfortable and that’s a bonus when the temperatures drop.
NATO watch straps are all about versatility and durability so they’re perfect for spring and summer. Originally designed for military use, these straps are made from tough nylon so they can withstand water, sweat and heat – common in warmer weather. The breathable fabric and many colour options make NATO straps the go-to for casual, sporty and outdoor activities.
Spring and summer wardrobes are full of light fabrics and bright colours so NATO straps with bold patterns and bright colours go well with that. Imagine a navy blue NATO strap with white stripes on a white shirt and khaki shorts or a camouflage NATO strap on a plain t-shirt and jeans. They’re easy to change so you can switch up your style to match different outfits and occasions.
The beauty of these watch straps is that they can be interchanged so you can have endless style options. As the seasons change, so can your watch. From a suede strap in winter to a NATO strap in spring.
By choosing and mixing suede and NATO straps you can make your watch a functional accessory and a part of your ever changing style, in sync with the seasons. Whether you go for a fancy or casual look, the right strap can make your whole outfit and your watch a wardrobe staple.
