Pretty smart: give your wrist a makeover

Smart watches have officially entered their style era. Think cutting-edge tech wrapped in seriously good design, from customisable dials to high-definition displays and aviation-inspired silhouettes. Whether you’re tracking your steps or taking calls on the go, these pieces prove that function and fashion can (finally) go hand in hand.

Expect sleek finishes, elevated details and wear-anywhere versatility, the kind that works just as well at 35,000 feet as it does on the ground.

After years of playing, it safe, watch dials are stepping into the spotlight - and colour is leading the charge. From emerald greens to electric blues and punchy pinks, 2026 is all about statement-making timepieces that refuse to blend in.

This shift mirrors a wider fashion movement. As wardrobes embrace dopamine dressing, bright tailoring and playful accessories, watches are following suit. The result? A small but powerful way to inject personality into your everyday look.

The beauty of a bold dial is its versatility. It elevates neutrals, refreshes classics and transforms a functional accessory into a true style statement. Subtle will always have its place - but right now, bold is where the energy is.

When it comes to stacking, more is more, with a little strategy.

Mix your metals without hesitation (gold and silver together is a yes), introduce colour through beads or crystals, and play with contrast by layering chunky pieces alongside delicate chains. Start with one hero piece, then build around it.

The key? Keep it effortless. If it starts to feel overworked, dial it back. The best stacks look instinctive, not over styled.

Few brands balance heritage and modernity quite like Lacoste. Born on the tennis courts of 1920s France, the label redefined sportswear with pieces that combined performance and effortless style long before “athleisure” became a thing.

That same spirit carries through today, blending clean design, everyday wearability and a subtle nod to its sporting roots. The result is timeless pieces with just enough edge to feel current, wherever you’re headed.

No longer reserved for bohemian styling, turquoise is stepping into a more polished, contemporary space. In 2026, it’s all about refined pieces that balance heritage with a fresh, fashion-forward feel, an easy way to add colour with a sophisticated twist.
