Fashion Accessories

Start with where you'll wear your watch most. Silicone straps are lightweight, water-friendly and easy to clean, so they're a great pick for everyday and active wear. Stainless steel is durable and dressy, and links can usually be removed for a better fit. Leather feels comfortable and classic for work and evenings out, but keep it away from water so it lasts longer.

A scarf is usually worn around the neck, head or shoulders for warmth or style. A sarong is a larger piece of lightweight fabric that wraps around the waist or body, most often as a beach or poolside cover-up. Many lightweight scarves can be styled both ways, which makes them a smart, versatile choice.

Wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth and treat it with a leather conditioner every few months. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and always test a cleaner on a hidden spot first. When you're not using it, stuff the bag with paper to help it hold its shape and store it in a breathable dust bag.

Frames that contrast with your face shape tend to be the most flattering. Angular or rectangular frames balance a round face, while round or oval frames soften a square face. Oval faces suit almost any style, and heart-shaped faces look great in aviators or frames that are wider at the bottom. Whichever style you love, choose lenses that offer UV protection.

Most belts fit best when you choose a size about 2 inches larger than your pant waist size, so a 32-inch waist usually needs a size 34 belt. For a more accurate fit, measure a belt you already own from the fold at the buckle to the hole you use most. A well-fitting belt fastens comfortably on the middle hole, leaving room to adjust either way.
