Accessories In Fashion

Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as Jewelry, gloves, Handbags, hats, Sunglasses, belts, watches, Scarves and Wraps, pins, stockings, bow tie, leg warmer, leggings, necktie, suspenders, and tights.

Accessories add color, style and class to an outfit, and create a certain look.
Designer labels on accessories are perceived as an indicator of social status.
