Laings have teamed up with Slaters Menswear to showcase the must-have trends in watches and fashion this Autumn/Winter 2015.

With the help of fashion experts from Slaters and watch specialists from Laings we have put together the ultimate gents style guide to ensure that you (or the man in your life) can stay dapper in 2015.

So to start, our top tips...

- Combine and layer traditional prints and textures with a modern fit to create a suave ensemble, ideal for the office and beyond.

- Try out some fancy footwear in the form of the brogue with a snappy coloured trim - look great and feel incredible knowing you are simultaneously staying on trend while highlighting your individuality.

- Check out how checks can work for you, an eye-catching checked shirt paired with a skinny fit jean can take you smartly from day to night.

TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer Formula 1 CAZ2011.FT8024 Watch

Pair this sporty TAG Heuer Watch with a casual checked shirt and cosy padded jacket for a look that is comfortable, stylish and above all...warm in the impending winter weather. This particular watch has been crafted in contemporary black titanium with an automatic movement and sleek black leather strap. This overall look is great for a workplace with a casual dress-code or weekend wear for the man about town.

PANERAI

Panerai Radiomir S.L.C.3 Days Acciaio PAM00425 Watch

This debonair combination of smart and casual truly establishes that the trend for tweed is back with a bang, it also just happens to be the perfect backdrop for this Panerai Radiomir Watch. This iconic watch is nothing if not a statement piece, unmistakably Panerai and only ever worn by a gent who knows his watches and believes in the importance of quality and style.

Rolex watch on wrist with suit

Rolex Bi-Colour Date-Just Watch

The classic businessman-style is perfectly portrayed in this look, a smart, three-piece navy blue suit is a subtle step away from traditional black and works like a dream with this delectable Bi-Colour Rolex Date-Just. Glimpse this man (even at a distance) and know immediately that he is successful, confident and sophisticated...a recognisable leader of men. Shop Rolex in our Flagship store in the Argyll Arcade, or view our excellent Pre-Owned Rolex selection online now.

CARTIER

Cartier Tank Solo W5200028 Watch

As sophisticated as men are these days, there is still a place for a good old fashioned woolly jumper, however for the style-conscious fear not, knitwear is having a revival. The chunky fabric is inviting to pull on for comfort and the complex pattern showcases innovative design. This outfit would work with many a timepiece, however we favoured the simplicity of the iconic Cartier Tank Solo, the rectangular dial with matching angular bracelet makes for an elegant accessory. Cartier is renowned as a fashion giant, unsurpassable in quality and offers the perfect balance of style and functionality.

PATEK PHILIPPE

Patek Philippe 18ct White Gold World Time 5130G Watch

We had to end with this superb look, an understated beige-coloured, three-piece suit compliments the worlds most famous and expensive watch brand...none other than Patek Philippe. Fortunately this featured model is not a record breaking price, unlike the Patek Philippe Supercomplication that sold for $24 million in 2014. This more modest World Time model is a more reasonable £28,940. We adore this suit & watch combo for its overall elegant effect and would find it fitting for a groom on his wedding day or a suave gent on a very special occasion.
