[A Quick Recap]
Now that pocket watches are more of a luxury or exotic option rather than a necessity or a norm, it becomes all the more important to make sure its placement doesn’t make you look like a poser when you just want to strap on a waistcoat, throw on a pocket watch and stroll through the cobblestoned alleys of urban fashion.
Importance of choosing the right pocket
Suit or jeans, the pocket watch should sit in the specific pocket for its safety, beauty and accessibility. The most chosen ones are breast pocket, the front pocket and the watch pocket (in jeans). When opportunities – though rare they are – arrive to wear a pocket watch, you can avoid that feel of anachronism coming around to cover which, displays of unnecessary affectation make the dress-up seem more like a dressing-up session.![Pocket watch and waistcoat Gold pocket watch with roman numerals in the pocket of a waistcoat pocket watch vest stock pictures, royalty-free photos & images](https://eamzde8g9mi.exactdn.com/watchblog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/istockphoto-179303083-612x612-1.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=640%2C426&ssl=1)

Next, the Breast Pocket
What if your suit is not three-piece?
In simple words, it doesn’t include a waistcoat. Double-breasted coats pull off pocket- and wrist-watches with equal ease; for the single breasted, the chain is attached through your suit-jacket’s buttonhole, with the watch free to be slipped into the jacket’s pocket. Else, you may use a belt loop chain to attach the watch to your trouser belt loop, while putting the watch safely in your trouser’s pocket.
Now, with a shirt
Less formal occasions that require neither suit jackets nor waistcoats, a pocket watch can still be worn. Chain it to the lower buttonholes or to one of the belt loops. Slip the watch into your trouser pocket.
With jeans this time!
A formal occasion is not must to wear a pocket watch. You may add a classy twist to your smart-casual outfits; especially, with jeans. Here comes the difference.![blue denim jeans with brown leather belt](https://eamzde8g9mi.exactdn.com/watchblog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/pant_pocket_watch.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=640&ssl=1)

What are some other ways to wear pocket watch?
Let’s get into that straight:- As a pendant: Some people choose to wear a pocket watch around their neck. This works best with smaller and lighter pocket watches. The same dressing styles as in casuals and sports casuals. This style is not meant for formals and smart casuals. The cord or chain should be designed to be worn around the neck and must not cause abrasions or skin allergies.
- On your belt loop: Strictly for digital watches. It should be securely clipped to the belt loop or wherever you find it to be the most convenient. Even on an armband! Or, you may thread the chain/cord through the shirt buttonholes and let the watch hang outside your clothing. Could be the metal ring on your cargo shirt or trousers.
