A guide to the origin and style of fashion

Compare rings over or under evening gloves and on exposed fingers. Check the band, glove seams and raised details before choosing a party outfit.

Check attachment points before pairing a pants chain with tailored trousers, then consider pleats, pocket access, jacket coverage and event expectations.

Choose a bare ear or small stud opposite one statement earring, then compare the look with your hair, neckline and everyday accessories.

Compare Cuban and curb chains by link spacing and profile, then check the dimensions and fastening rather than choosing by the name alone.

Compare a key ring with a keychain, identify the clip and ornament, and check the included fittings before choosing one for your keys or bag.

Can a brooch work as a bag charm? Check pin backs, hanging loops and included clasps, then compare the attachment with the hardware on your bag.

Wear drop earrings with glasses by checking frame clearance, drop shape, hair and collars. Outfit ideas for bold black frames and a practical buying check.

An open band does not always mean an adjustable ring. Check the maker's sizing instructions, supported range and fit before bending or buying one.

Compare studded and spiked wristbands by hardware height, band width and sleeve placement, with outfit examples and checks before wearing one to a concert.
