Will you embrace the boyfriend watch?

The latest menswear trend to hit the catwalks has had a big influence over ladies accessories, particularly with watches. Watch fashionistas no longer parade the streets in small, elegant timepieces, now its all about the oversized and statement watches.

So it started with the boyfriend jean, classic white shirt with oversized blazers and now the latest trend of the moment is the men's sport influenced watch.

With a growing female interest in male attire; particularly in watches with oversized dials and sporty technical extras, what was categorised as men's watches has now moved to unisex with women buying up the latest must-have accessory.

The Spectrum collection from Guess watches is an ultra stylish, bold watch with chronograph quartz movement featuring three sub-dials traditionally bestowed upon men's watches. Available in gold and gun-metal grey, my personal favourite is the gun-metal for the Autumn season. The watch is encased in an understated polished gun-metal case and bracelet in plated stainless steel. Its sleek, cool, minimalist detail is classic, striking and perfect for all occasions. Retailing at £160, this is definitely a watch which could be shared with the boyfriend so maybe go halves? Or a possible Christmas present for him which you could share?
