Oris BC4 Watches

Fashionistas who like to accessorise with watches, necklaces and bracelets may be better off adopting a more low-key approach.According to the Times of India, wearing too many accessories at the same time can ruin the look of an outfit.As a result, it has suggested that people stick to just one or two items instead of going round looking like a "walking jewellery shop".This, it said, would allow consumers to show off their accessories and draw attention to themselves.Followers of fashion were also encouraged to match their accessories with their outfit, rather than adopt the opposite strategy.The Times of India added that people should purchase items that enhance their best features."Opt for accessories that flatter you," the publication advised.This comes after fashion blogger Anna Nightingale hailed watches as very important accessories that can be used in many different ways to complement outfits.
