As a commerce writer, I tested out the Tory Burch Oval Watch for myself and have been genuinely impressed. Granted, it is my first designer watch, but I don’t think there’s a better way to pop the cherry that with this style. This is because it’s minimal, quiet luxury style that’s bound to last me for several years and outfits to come. I mostly dress it up, wearing it with sweaters, button downs and dresses too. However, I haven’t been opposed to wearing it casually too, like with a sweatshirt and leggings for a quick coffee catch-up with friends. After all, it’s accessories that help to keep me looking elevated.
