Swatch Watches

Remember Swatch? When I was a pre-teen and well into my teen years, Swatch watches were THE item we all had to have. The colorful, fun, and funky prints on these plastic watches seemed to come in a limitless variety. Even the jelly watch guards that covered most of the watch face became trendy. Having at least two guards in contrasting colors was very cool.

Even the trends within the Swatch watch era were different from when I was a young teen until I was an older teen (at which point I think Fossil watches took over as the uber cool watch statement). When I was younger, POP Swatches were huge along the lines of a chunky cuff bracelet. The bands were made out of stretch elastic that used to leave my skin feeling compressed and sweaty. Suffering for fashion never goes out of style!

Ah, nostalgia! But low and behold, it seems Swatch is coming back. Okay, so maybe it never really left for some of us. The Spring/Summer 2008 Swatch collection seems to be marketed towards an older demographic—perhaps those of us who were teens when the first Swatch craze hit. The new pieces incorporate chunky links of metal and some bright colors but also some more neutral varieties to go with more pieces in your wardrobe. Even the ads are impressive—much more high fashion that teen magazine.

Cuff Links for Women

Quite often retailers of cuff links forget to include women’s cufflinks. With cuff links for women, it is vital to know if the set is lightweight or heavy, this is so you will know if you can wear them with a fancy silk top without the French cuffs being pulled. Generally, cuff links are unisex and can be worn by either a man or a woman. Retailers who separate cuff links for women into their own easily accessible category pick out the cuff links that work the best with women’s fashion.

Both men and women can wear cuff links. Cuff links for women are lighter in weight and more feminine in design. Gemstone cuff links can be worn to a prom, wedding or anniversary. Womens cufflinks go perfectly with cocktail dresses, formal evening dresses or every day office wear.

Cuff links can be worn with a variety of cuff styles. Cuffs for custom dress shirts have French cuffs in a variety of styles such as rounded-corner and angle-cut. In addition, several convertible style cuffs have another buttonhole beside the button so you may choose to wear cuff links or use the button. These cuffs are straight, rounded and angled with one or two extra buttonholes.
