halacha - "Carrying" items without an eruv


I have seen people use "Sabbat belts" and bracelets that use the key as some functional part of the item (eg something that holds the loop together).


However, this does not seem to be a real garment of any sort (talking here about items that would generally be covered up, not displayed, like a bracelet under sleeves)?


What is a general principle regarding these types of items?


Note: I seem to recall reading that there are really two types of garments, ornaments and "real" garments, where garments are real pieces of clothing (some minimum size?) and ornaments are meant to be worn to enhance one's appearance. I don't have a source for this though.
