Orange Watch Straps: Daring to Be Bold
Orange watch straps are about as bold and vibrant as you can get, and come in all different materials - from rubber and silicone to the more formal leather. They can be worn in both formal and informal occasions, and though they may be more associated with smartwatches/watches that are worn for outdoor activities, there is nothing stopping you from wearing them for a day in the office, or for a special event either.
They can be a great way to brighten up any outfit, not just in summer but all year round. Why not try something a bit different and take a look at our range of orange straps?
Why Are Orange Watch Straps So Popular?
Orange watch straps not only have the visually striking colour appeal, but also have practical uses too. A lot of people who wear watches for diving, especially orange NATO straps, opt for the bright colour because it stands out, and can be easier to see. This is the same for any water-based activity - orange is bright, it is noticeable so as a colour it has a very practical element.
Aesthetically, many people love the contrast of an orange strap on different coloured watches, especially black. It is a way of mixing up a normal watch face and making it stand out, not necessarily for safety or practical purposes, but just because it is fun to be bold and bright with watch straps.
Orange is also a colour that pairs well with any kind of watch strap material. Whether you are wearing a rubber strap or a leather one, orange is striking and vibrant on any kind, making it a very versatile choice among watch lovers.
How To Style An Orange Watch Strap
If you have taken the plunge and bought an orange watch strap, you may be wondering how best to style it, especially if you have not experimented with bold colours before.
Orange is a colour that can be worn for a variety of different occasions, including in the office or day to day during sporty and casual situations.
Casual/Sporty: If this is the look you are aiming for, try pairing your orange watch strap with black sports leggings or shorts for an eye-catching contrast.
For the office: Try matching your orange watch strap with neutral formal wear, like beige, black or white trousers, dresses or skirts, to keep with the office look but with a pop of colour on your wrist. Jackets or blazers in neutral colours or black are best to compliment an orange watch strap.
What to avoid: Avoid wearing tops or jackets with colours that clash with orange, such as red. Opting for complimentary colours will ensure that your watch strap always looks good with your clothing ensemble, such as neutrals, pinks, blues and greens.
