Black Watch Straps - Classic Versatility For Every Timepiece
It’s practical, it works with every colour of clothing or hardware, and it never goes out of style; there are many reasons why black is often the colour of choice when it comes to watch straps.
In The Thrifty Gentleman’s black watch strap collection, you’ll find black straps fashioned from a variety of materials, including durable woven nylon and sleek leather black straps.
Not to mention, just because your new watch strap is black, doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun. With gold, grey, red, green, orange and blue accompaniments, your new black watch strap will stand out from the rest.
How To Style A Black Watch Strap…
Here are our tried and tested tips for styling your new black watch straps:
Classic Elegance: Pair a black leather band with a stainless steel case for a timeless and elegant look. This combination looks perfect with formal wear.
Casual Cool: Opt for a black and grey NATO watch strap or an elasticated nylon option for a laid-back look. A classic T-shirt and jeans look best with this combo.
Monochrome Mastery: A chunky 24mm watch strap fashioned from black silicone looks the part when paired with techwear or a full-black ensemble.
Pop of Colour: A black and yellow watch band is eye-catching and adventurous, especially against a white or neutral shirt.
Athleisure Vibes: If you’re heading straight from work to the gym, a sporty silicone black watch strap will pair perfectly with your favourite running shoes.
Metallic Match: If your timepiece is bright gold or polished brass, a subtle black leather strap for your watch will create a glamorous contrast.

FAQs On The Black Watch Band Range
When can you wear a black watch strap?
Black watch straps are great for wearing at lots of different events and occasions. They can be worn in formal and office settings, especially with business suits and dresses, but can also be worn casually day to day - with jeans and casual office wear. A black watch strap is also great to wear during sports activities because it doesn’t show dirt as easily as say a white or light coloured strap would, and looks very sleek and bold too.
Does a black watch band go with everything?
Yes - black watch bands are super versatile and go with nearly everything because they are neutral and match most colours and designs. Black is a great colour for formal occasions such as events or for office days, but also looks nice when worn casually with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Their colour makes them great for sporting activities too. The only times when a black watch strap may not be the most ideal colour strap to wear is when it is particularly hot outside, or if you are wearing an all-black outfit where a pop of colour from a watch strap may be more ideal.
Can you wear a black watch strap with brown shoes?
Yes, there is nothing wrong with wearing a black watch strap with brown shoes. Black and brown compliment each other as neutral colours, and they can be worn with other elements of black and brown in the outfit to create a more uniform look. This could be like wearing a brown belt with brown shoes and a black watch strap.
What strap colour should you wear with a black watch?
Black is an easy watch to match with straps, with almost any colour or design pairing nicely with it. For a monochrome look, wear a black watch strap with the black watch. For elegance, try a metal or stainless steel strap to make it stand out. Colourful straps like orange, yellow and light blue are great for a contrasting and bold look, and can be fun with the pop of colour.
