| Women's Accessories, Handbags Article | Fashion accessories are items apart from the garment itself, which complement the whole outfit. Fashion accessories include jewelry, gloves, handbags, hats, or scarves. Accessories can add detail to an outfit, modifying the garment's style or the visual effects of the fabric from which the garment is made. Accessories may also have practical functions. Handbags are useful carrying items, and hats' brims protect the face and the head from harsh conditions. Many accessories are produced by companies that also produce clothing. In some cultures or religions, accessories can represent a specific set of meanings, embedded in a wider system of beliefs. For example, in Christianity the cross is worn as a pendant around the neck representing Christs crucifixion. Purity rings are also worn by some Christians in the USA to represent sexual purity. |
