Accessories are a great way to improve the way we look and to add a touch of elegance or mystery on some occasions. The common accessories are: watches, purses, jewelry, hats, etc.

In the 17 century, accessories were very fashionable and women wore Kashmir shawls, hats and reticule handbags, which were like the purses women use today.

The handbags proved to be useful when women needed to take with them some intimate items such as lipstick or a mirror. The women were able to hide their bags in their big gowns. However, as years passed, gowns became smaller and handbags became bigger. Nowadays women use purses not only as a fashion accessory but also as a useful item. There are different purses or handbags for different occasions. Businesswomen can use a big elegant purse to keep their documents, mobile phone, note book, etc. When going to the gym people can use a sport bag to keep their towel, equipment and water.

On the other hand, there are famous designer accessories that are necessary for a trendy person. Purses for special occasions, which are crested with jewels or different materials, are perfect for a woman who wants to draw attention. Designer accessories made by Fendi, Prada or Chopard are true masterpieces and people would kill to have at least one product. As most accessory designer say, men should not be ashamed to wear a handbag because it can prove itself useful when you need to carry around many things.

Hats were famous in the last century and not only they protected women from sun and heat but also they contributed to a very elegant and classy look. Men also wore hats as it was necessary in that period because it was considered that a man who wore a hat was a real gentleman and same went for a true lady. Nowadays few people still wear hats and their primary use is to protect from sun in summer so their design is as simple as it can be. Boys usually wear peaked caps but never the classic hat, as it is considered old fashioned and it could not possibly match their clothing.
