Narrow models are ideal for a fine ladies' handle.. They are perfectly combined with both large and miniature dials. The main thing is that all the details fit each other in style.

One of the most popular materials is leather.. Today, on the shelves of shops you can meet a variety of watch with bracelets made of genuine or artificial leather.

Such details are short-lived. They may require replacement no later than 3-5 years. This is due to the fact that on this material cracks appear over time, which begin to crumble. All this adversely affects the appearance of the accessory.

Finding the perfect watch strap is very easy. Let's deal with this issue in more detail.

• Choose such models that will serve you as long as possible.
• Pay attention to the width of the bracelet. Not every belt will fit the body of your watch, so this issue should be approached with the utmost seriousness. Pre-measure the distance between the ears of the clock. Too wide belts simply can not be installed in the case, and too narrow will look ugly.

• Equally important is the length of the accessory. As a rule, all models of bracelets are made elongated. This is necessary so that you can regulate them as you see fit. For example, in some metal specimens there are additional links that can be easily removed. But do not throw away unnecessary elements, as they may be useful to you in the future (if you need to replace one of the "working" links).

• Before choosing a suitable option, you must determine the size of your wrist. Measure it with a tape measure or sewing meter. It is recommended to buy such straps that will be slightly wider than your arm. So, your favorite accessory will be as comfortable as possible while wearing.

• Recently, it has become very fashionable to wear watches with loose bracelets.

Designers and couturiers advise very carefully to the selection of colors strap. It should echo the colors of other accessories in the image (if any).

But, it is worth noting the fact that recently young people do not adhere to this rule. They combine things and decorations of different colors in their ensembles, especially when it comes to casual clothes.
