White Time

G Shock, $99 at Macy's.

Watches are all the rage right now, from the athletic, waterproof G-Shocks of hipsters to the chunky, big-faced men's watches favored by corporate execs. For summer style, however, nothing is as cool as an all-white timepiece.

White is a good color for summer because it's bright and clean-looking; it's also reflective, so a flash of white on the wrist is bound to be noticed. Darker, tanned skin tones are complimented by white, so it also boosts a summer glow.

The AK Anne Klein White-Bracelet Boyfriend Watch is a steal for $55 at Macy's. It's a sportier look, like the G-Shock, above, but white watches come in a variety of styles. Fossil's dressy Berkeley, $95 at Dillard's, resembles an all-white Rolex. And Nixon's The Time Teller, $59, takes mod to a new level, with a smooth wristband and sleek, numberless display.
