Michael Kors is a designer who represents all things chic and sophisticated with a wearable and casual edge. A huge array of celebrities favour the Michael Kors style because it allows them to look fantastic and polished, yet also be comfortable.

Michael Kors watches are one of the most divine and luxurious accessories you could own yet are still versatile and wearable with a variety of looks. One of the main noticeable design elements of Michael Kors watches are the colours used. Something a little alternative from black, gold and silver or eye popping colours that many other brands have homed in on in recent seasons, Michael Kors watches feature beautiful tones such as brown, golden, fawn, beige and cream as well of course as the traditional staple colours.

Using examples within the collection, the MK5139 for example has a contemporary design with a bracelet strap and sleek circular dial but the stunning brown and cream horn effect colouring and gold detailing definitely injects something exquisite to the watch. The MK4200 is a little more of a dressed up and glamorous style and the tortoiseshell effect and central polished gold section, again adds something extremely refined and chic to the aesthetic of the watch.

Michael Kors is also renowned for retaining his own unique style but applying them to current trends. The MK5197, MK5198 and MK5195 are all perfect examples of this. With bang on trend polycarbonate outer links in contemporary and cool colours such as baby pink, white, and silver, added diamante embellishments either on the dial or at the centre of the links, this definitely adds a glam edge to a current style. Michael Kors is perfect at balancing casual with striking and ensures that the watches remain chic and simple with the focal point either being on the design or the sumptuous and luxurious colour.

In terms of unique design, Michael Kors certainly likes to experiment with innovative styles – the MK2118 is a great example of this with its sliding cover that when placed over the dial completely conceals it and makes the watch look more like an edgy and urban style bracelet. The MK3094 is also striking in terms of design with its super wide bangle style strap which has a textured finish and diamantes positioned around the outer and inner edges. The round dial positioned in the centre is kept small and simple so that the attention is drawn to the main body of the watch.

Michael Kors watches achieve the balance between chic, refined and sophisticated and trendy and cool. With an array of designs to suit a number of style preferences, versatility, beautiful colouring and unique and exquisite design are all common features within the range. The perfect accessory to add something wonderfully special to your look!
