Accessories supplement garments and include items like jewelry, handbags, hats, watches, and scarves. They add color, style and class to outfits while also serving practical purposes. For example, handbags carry items and hats protect from weather. Some accessories are produced by large companies, but some individuals now create their own accessories brands. Accessories can also indicate religious or cultural affiliation and designer labels signal social status. Accessories are available as bracelets, necklaces, earrings and shoelace decorations.
