Summer Watch Style – ‘Plastic Fantastic’

By Disneyrollergirl on June 2, 2011 Tweet

Hold on to your Jil Sander shoppers, high fashion is enjoying a love-in with all things playful, pop and plastic! From Prada’s wacky ‘funglasses’, to Furla’s bright PVC ‘Candy bags’ (surely the ultimate arm candy), if it’s not shiny and sweetie-coloured, it’s not worth shouting about.

Perfect for beaches and weekend wear, plastic watches partner nicely with jelly sandals for maximum ‘look at me’ impact. Juicy Couture’s hot pink watch goes from deckchair to disco and is water resistant too – rather handy for those impromptu Ibiza pool parties. ICE’s rubber watch is slightly more understated and suits a preppy-goes-pop look; just add a candy-hued polo shirt and the all-important sweater over the shoulders.

Yes, plastic can be posh. Kind of. ToyWatch’s luxe white chrono has a mother- of-pearl dial worthy of summer’s chicest sporting events from Wimbledon to Henley, while Marc by Marc's regal silcone coated purple and gold watch is fit for a young royal. More youthful is D&G’s rubber, rave-friendly digital watch. Available in a rainbow of shades, there’s even one to colour-match that Jil Sander plastic shopper. Perfect!
