The world of watches and watch straps is constantly changing and is finding new trends as fast as any part of the accessories industry. That’s why we always try to give you an update with our predictions about trending watch straps for the year. So today we are talking about hot watch straps you definitely should get in 2019.
Shark mesh
Shark mesh straps are coming back with the vengeance! This perfect mix of old school and current, thicker design is a perfect homage to this divers-inspired style. This time you can even try massive gold shark mesh models and feel on trend thanks to its 80’s look that Generation Z is so in love with right now. From Miami Vice to your wrist, shark mesh is gonna transport you to the fabulous life of the ’80s.
It is certainly a bold statement for people that are not afraid to wear loud and big fashion!
Bund straps
We never understood why bund straps are not catching on as they are so stylish and unique. But this year we finally start to see more and more people wearing those and we suspect this is going to be the year of the bund strap. Originally worn by German pilots during World War II, they are a little oversized by design and have additional leather padding underneath the watch face that used to serve as a protection from high temperature and made it stay in place in fast-changing situations.
Today it purely decorative but it looks really good on a bigger wrist and still is fairly unique. So don’t waste any time and get one for yourself or as a fashion-forward gift!
Rally watch straps
Another old school trend this year is the rally watch straps that are instantly recognizable thanks to holes in the straps. These are a nod to 1920’s race driver gloves with knuckle holes so they feel like they are from a classic movie.
At the same time, worn today they feel fresh and elegant making them a great choice for people of all ages. The shiny leather finish will also make them quite versatile allowing you to wear them from work to the evening event without a problem.
Vintage watch straps
This trend we see all around. From the interior design and fashion to accessories and watch straps. The vintage look is ruling in the world of aesthetics this year. You can choose from distressed leather and jeans to frayed edges and cracked paint effect.
Everything that looks like it was owned by your grandfather or have a distinct look of the fifties will be a good bet for 2019 when it comes to watch straps.
So this is our short list of trending styles in the watch straps for 2019. We hope this will make it easier for you to update your collection and be confident when wearing those watch straps!
