Yes, the bills are breaking your back, but you do need to keep up with style – just in case your social life ever moves on from faceless poking on Facebook. Some key designer pieces will give you a contemporary update without any need to change from your work trousers (they’re just so worn and comfy after a day’s hard slacking). Choose from our steely men’s hoop earrings, and your suit is instantly sleeker. Add a couple of chain-link bracelets or a designer watch and you’re all kitted out for winter 08. Oh and stop winking – it went out with Kojak. Let your hoops do the talking...

Ah, we always like a bit of innuendo. But back to business: If you hate shop assistants, curtains, price tags and bright lights, you’ll find Homme Rock a pleasant change. There is no soothing shop music here. Just quick-click and quick-delivery satisfaction. Personal shopping advice and recommendations you can rely on. Just men’s hoop earrings, carefully selected from this season’s collections. Names such as Fred Bennett, Dulwich and Bond – pieces that can’t go wrong. Well, provided you don’t pair them with cycling shorts. Nothing makes those cool. We said NOTHING, Steve!
