    I don't think tassels have any practical use.

    Decoration only: neckties.
    Decorative and fulfillimg a function: Cufflinks.

    Of course women have more of the Decoration only type. I remember a co worker who came to work in a blouse wit two rows of buttons all down the front. but none of the buttons were buttoned. the fabric was sewn together under them. The real opening was a zipper down the back

  • The watch I wear is both decorative and functional. While I do use it to tell time, I also have my phone for that, so it isn't completely necessary, and certainly a large part of why I wear one is because I like the way it looks. 

    A hat, which I occasionally wear, is completely decorative for me.

    Actually a cumberbun is meant to help hide a mans gut.

    A necktie is purely decorative.
    A cravat is decorative, and performs the function of telling everybody what a pretentious tosser you are.
