Wardrobe refresher

Buy - Wide belts
The supersize waist-cinchers emerged again in striking form at Fendi, Lanvin and Givenchy.

This season, look for glossy patent leather, gathered knit cummerbunds and rocker-chic buckles. And sharpen up your office look with a wide belt over a crisp collared shirt.

Bring out - Chain links
A statement of modern glamour, chain links have dangled into fall with new, unexpected details: deconstructed metals, dainty charms and regal patterns.

For sexy, night-out style, layer two, three or four chain-link necklaces of varying lengths.

Box up - Chandelier earrings
Balance out fall's bold, look-at-me necklaces, cocktail rings and cuffs with simple, understated earrings, says Duvall O'Steen, jewelry spokeswoman for the World Gold Council.

"It's the return of the lobe," she says. "We're seeing more studs, buttons and short drop earrings."
