Do you want to wear a watch but your sleeve is too long and covers over the clock? I get it, I really do. You try to take off that hot Chanel jacket or sweater and then bam! Your wrist is practically naked without that luscious arm candy hanging from it. Well fear not fellow fashion lovers, here are some tips for wearing your watch with long sleeves:
Put the watch on top of the sleeve
If you don’t have any time to waste, this might be a good option for you. It’s simple- just flip up your wrist so the watch sits in the crook of your elbow. On a side note, this trick will work best if the shirt/sweater has a slimmer cut.
Use a watch case:
Just like many people use a handbag to store their accessories, you can also purchase a watch case that will hold your timepiece and its band. This is an especially great option if you have multiple watches or choose to wear different bands on different days.
Opt for bracelet length bracelets:
If showing a little skin isn’t really your thing but hiding the clock altogether kind of defeats the purpose of wearing one, try going with a bracelet length band instead. It’s much more subtle and won’t leave you wrist-less during those sweltering summer months!
Try cuffing it up:
This trick is perfect for those who don’t want to remove their jacket as it still keeps the watch visible. Take your shirt sleeve and roll it up to the elbow, then tuck the end under your jacket’s cuff. Voila! Now you’re ready to show off your brand new Rolex without having to strip down halfway through.
Roll your sleeve back
This is the most simple option if you have some time to kill before work or class starts. Simply roll your sleeves up once or twice so that it doesn’t cover over the watch face anymore! It’s just that easy, my friends. If you are short on time but want to look cute, this is a great option for you!
Wear the watch on your other arm:
If you’re feeling extra funky, try wearing the watch on your other arm for a little bit of variety. It will give off the illusion that it’s not there at all! I mean come on, doesn’t this option just sound like something out of Mary Poppins?
Opt for bracelet length bracelets:
This trick is perfect for those who don’t want to remove their jacket as it still keeps the watch visible. Take your shirt sleeve and roll it up to the elbow, then tuck the end under your jacket’s cuff. Voila! Now you’re ready to show off your brand new Rolex without having to strip down way through.
Accessorize:
A good rule of thumb is that if you are wearing an accessory on one side of your body, you should wear something similar on the other side as well (e.g earrings, bracelet, necklace). So if you are wearing a watch on one wrist, why not try carrying a cute clutch or wearing shoes with some bling? You can’t go wrong with this look!
This trick will work best if the shirt/sweater has a slimmer cut. If you flip up your wrist so the watch sits in the crook of your elbow and put it underneath your sweater sleeve or shirt sleeve it will be perfectly hidden from. On a side note, this trick will work best if the shirt/sweater has a slimmer cut.
Only wear half of the arm candy
Okay, hear me out before you go berserk on this one- I don’t mean take off your watch, bracelet, and earrings! You can still complete your wrist game with some bracelets and/or studs. This will keep people from thinking you are totally tone-deaf when it comes to fashion.
Get a watch for your large arm party
This is not the look for everyone, but if you are daring enough to pull it off- go ahead! You can wear more than one watch (if you’re into that), stack some bracelets up your arm, and get creative. Just be careful with what shoes you wear; these outfits tend to pair way better with flats or boots rather than pumps or sneakers.
It’s okay if this doesn’t work out for your outfit! There are plenty of other ways to rock a wrist full of fun pieces. Don’t give up on your fashion goals just because of something like this!
Go for slim-cut sleeves:

Roll it up, roll it up:
This is the most simple option if you have some time to kill before work or class starts. Simply roll your sleeves up once or twice so that it doesn’t cover over the watch face anymore! It’s just that easy, my friends. If you are short on time but want to look cute, this is a great option for you.
