[WATCH OUT]: Vegan Timepieces

A friend recently told me that she saw a watch she loved but then found out the straps were made from leather. Lately, I've been so pleased that my friends and family have approached me and started talking about vegan options and discussing the alternatives. When I first started this blog, all I wanted to do was inform my friends, family and readers about animal friendly options when it came to fashion as I found people just really weren't aware (much like I was a few years ago). Hearing my friend's frustration in finding out that the watch she really wanted was made from leather 1) made me incredibly happy knowing that there are kind and caring people out there that would love to avoid buying animal products and 2) gave me a fantastic idea for a blog post.

A watch is something that is worn by almost everyone, and luckily for us, these days they've become more of a fashion statement, coming in a range of designs, materials and colours - and even luckier for us is that there are lots of amazing vegan options!

My favourite watch would have to be my Daniel Wellington 'Classy Glasgow' navy and white striped watch with rose gold detailing. It goes with almost any outfit and gives your whole look a bit of a sports luxe vibe. For the shoot below, I chose to pare back the colours and keep the look minimalistic as I think that sometimes even the simplest of accessories can be the focal point of an outfit.

Below, I've also put together a list of my favourite vegan watches (and don't worry boys. If you see something you like, hit the link, go back a few pages and I'm sure there are some male options in there too!)
