Watch Strap Style Guide: Match the Right Strap with Every Outfit

Your outfit can change your whole vibe — and so can your watch strap. Whether you’re dressing for a wedding, a work meeting, or a weekend coffee run, the right strap can bring your look together effortlessly.

At Aryaan Watch Straps, we handcraft premium leather and fabric straps in small batches, made to elevate your everyday style. Here’s how to match your straps with your outfits.

1. Formal & Dressy Looks

When you’re wearing a suit, dress shirt, or anything smart, your strap should be clean and refined. Think smooth leather, classic colours, and minimal stitching.

Recommended straps:

• Wax Leather Strap - Chestnut Brown – Timeless and sleek, perfect for black or navy suits.

• French Epsom Leather Strap - Black – Refined, structured, and timeless. Perfect for black-tie events, business suits, or a crisp white shirt.

• French Epsom Leather Strap – Light Blue with White Stitching – For formal looks in lighter colours, this adds a modern twist with a soft, sophisticated pop.

• Ostrich Belly Leather Strap - Chocolate Brown – Luxuriously textured but elegant, this strap adds quiet detail to navy or charcoal suits.

Style tip: Match your strap to your shoes or belt for a polished, cohesive look.

2. Smart Casual & Business Casual

For those in-between occasions — like the office, a dinner date, or a casual Friday — choose straps that are versatile but still put-together.

Recommended straps:

• French Epsom Leather Strap – Deep Blue with White Stitching – Bold, crisp, and perfect for layering with navy or grey outfits.

• Italian Wax Leather Strap – Summer Tan – A rich, warm leather that pairs beautifully with navy, beige, or olive. Perfect for chinos, linen shirts, and soft tailoring.

• CTS Rubber Strap - Beige – Soft, sporty, and water-resistant, it’s ideal for casual days and outdoor wear.

 

• Italian Suede Leather Strap - Moss Green – Rich, earthy, and effortlessly cool. Perfect with navy, cream, or tan outfits — especially layered pieces in cotton or wool.
  

Style tip: Use your strap to add contrast if the rest of your outfit is neutral. It’s a subtle but powerful upgrade.

3. Casual & Weekend Looks

For laid-back outfits — jeans, t-shirts, hoodies — your strap should be relaxed, easy to wear, and match your day-to-day vibe.

Recommended straps:

• CTS Rubber Watch Strap – Moss Green — a versatile shade that complements denim, khaki chinos, or outdoor looks

• CTS Rubber Watch Strap – Miami Blue — vibrant and fresh, ideal for summer vibes or casual tees and shorts.

• Suede Leather Strap - Light Grey – Soft and understated, this one pairs perfectly with white tees, sneakers, and relaxed fits. Ideal for a clean, neutral weekend look.

• Suede Leather Strap - Pastel Blue – Light, soft, and effortless. Perfect with pale denim, neutral tones, or relaxed summer layers.

Style tip: When your outfit is simple, your strap becomes a style statement. Don’t be afraid to let it stand out.
