WHAT ARE ACCESSORIES?

An accessory can be said to be anything you wear or carry other than your clothes.

Famous fashion designer Oscar De la Renta said: “A woman makes an outfit her own with accessories”. The importance of accessories cannot be better summed up than thus but this is true for men and women. Accessories aim to enhance the effect of clothes you wear- whether they succeed or not depends on your sense of style, the trend in fashion at that particular time and the context.

An anklet is an ornament worn around an ankle. Also called ankle chain, ankle bracelet or ankle string. This is not a universally popular accessory but there are many countries in the world where anklets are very popular.

Some people like to wear the anklet loose so that it hangs way below the ankle but some like to wear it tighter around the ankle 

Belts 

A belt is an accessory you wear around your waist; it helps to tighten the waistband of the garment you are wearing along with it and keep it in place, almost holding it up. Here is a post outlining the 20 different types of belts you can have in your disposal if you choose to use this accessory.

Bangles and Bracelets

Bangles and Bracelets are fashion accessories worn around the wrist. The difference between a bangle and a bracelet is that a bangle is more rigid than a bracelet and is more circular in shape. You can also count bands around the wrist like friendship bands.

Earrings

An earring is a fashion accessory worn on the earlobe, usually through an ear piercing.

Eyeglasses

Also called Spectacles, Eyeglasses are the most common type of eyewear worn to correct eye vision problems –  it consists of a frame that holds two pieces of glass or plastic. Other than its functional use, it also serves as an accessory that decorates a face. If you go to a shop you will find thousands of different types of frames for your glasses. As something that covers a major part of your face, attending to the choice of this accessory with a little more deliberation makes style sense.
