National Accessory Day celebrates hats, jewelry, scarves, bags, belts, sunglasses, and all the small items that complete an outfit and express personal style
History
Humans have used accessories for practical purposes (protection, utility) and adornment since prehistoric times. Over millennia they became powerful symbols of status, identity, culture, and fashion. Today the global fashion accessories market is worth hundreds of billions, reflecting their enduring importance in self-expression
How It's Celebrated
Style a new accessory combination from your closet, shop for a special piece that expresses your personality, learn about the history of a favorite type of accessory (watches, hats, etc.), or organize a clothing swap focused on accessories with friends.
