 Lesson History and Development of
1 Fashion Accessories

A fashion accessory is
an item used to contribute, in a
secondary manner, to the
wearer's outfit, often used to
complete an outfit and chosen to
specifically complement the
wearer's look. It has the capacity
to further express an individual’s identity and personality as
there are accessories that come in different, shapes, sizes, hues etc. The term came into use
in the 20th century.
Accessories complete the perfect look. Sometimes, even when the whole outfit is
flawless, a statement accessory can transform it to make it more glamorous. Necklaces,
earrings, bracelets, belts, neckties, and headwear add finishing touches to many outfits.
Some of the types of these accessories are classic and timeless like the pearl earrings and
leather belts, but some were trendy and could be out of fashion after a while. As fashion
changes throughout the years and decades, accessories evolve as well.
Since the beginning of civilization, people have been wearing accessories. The history
of fashion accessories is a lengthy and broad subject, so we will break it down per accessory
type.

NECKLACE/CHAINS
Necklaces are adopted by early civilizations around the world. These are believed to
be as old as 40,000 years. The oldest forms of the necklace are made from shells, teeth or
bone beads, bird feathers, carved wood, seeds, stones and other artful natural elements
found in the environment. Some used more precious materials from hard-to-find places, like
the valuable necklace made of Mediterranean red coral beads found in a Neolithic remains
in the Alps, dated around 4,200-3,400 BC.
A flat, crescent-shaped neckpiece made of metal, or the lunula, is found in Bronze
Age Scotland and Ireland in 1,800-1,500 BC. Meanwhile, the torc, a large, rigid neckpiece
made of twisted metal, was found in the Celtic, Scythian and other cultures of the European
Iron Age during 800 BC to 300 AD. These neckpieces were made of gold, copper, and other
metals.
Materials such as gold, silver, pearls, and diamonds have long been a popular choice
for necklaces since the Western history of dressing until today. These often symbolize wealth,
glamour, and prestige. Nowadays, the ideal necklace for professional, business and bridal
dress are made up of these materials. Locket necklaces were widely used in the 18 th and 19th
centuries after photography was developed

3
 Men and women both used to wear necklaces until the 18 th century when this
accessory became primarily feminine. This is why men used to call their necklace as chains
today. American pop culture re-popularized the use of necklaces for men with the 1960s
hippie “love beads” and the 1970s disco dance craze.

BRACELETS
After the ornaments for the neck, another oldest form of jewelry is the bracelet for
wrist, arm or ankle. Archaeologists were able to date back the earliest bracelet to 7,500 BC
found in Turkey. It was made of obsidian. Primitive humans were thought to have formed
ancient bangles from stones, wood, and shells, then later on, from copper and bronze. The
ancient Chinese wore bracelets on wrist made from wood, jade, and gold.
During Biblical times, bracelets were worn by both men and women, according to
Hebrew Scripture. Some of the oldest-known bracelets were made of gold and bronze. The
gold bracelets were often unadorned, while the bronze bracelets were decorated with
designs.
During the middle Ages, the bracelet became unfashionable, but it was brought back
again during the 17th century. Plastic became a material for bracelets during the 20 th century.
For teenagers and children, plastic adornments became a fashion choice. Embroidery floss
or thread was used to create armbands, especially for friendship bracelets, which became
popular in the 1980s.
EARRINGS
The Sumerian women wore crescent-shaped gold hoop earrings at around 2,500 BC,
according to archaeologists. In 1,500 BC Egypt, earrings were worn by both men and women.
Ancient Egyptian earrings were usually mushroom-shaped studs or plugs to be stretched in
the earlobe by an enlarged hole.
In the first millennium BC, Greeks and Etruscans wore earrings as a symbol of wealth.
Later on, the Romans began to use gems or colored stones in earrings. It became
unnecessary and impractical during the 11th to early 16th centuries because the stylish
hairstyles and headdresses of the day covered the ears completely. It was during the late
1500s when earrings became fashionable among gentlemen and courtiers during the English
Renaissance. By the late 17th century, earrings became an important part of dressing up to
both men and women. It became lighter and simpler over time.
The practice of ear piercing for earrings re-emerged during the 1950s. The trend
began as a fad among college girls, and Queen Elizabeth II set an example when she had
ear piercing to be able to wear the diamond earrings she received as a wedding gift. By the
1970s, ear piercing became common among women. Multiple piercings in one or both ears
also emerged into mainstream popularity in the 1970s.
BELTS
Since the Bronze Age, belts were worn by ancient people. In ancient Rome, Greece,
and Crete, people used it in the form of sash or girdle. Belts were common for both genders
in the Western world, but it was more common for men.
In the latter part of the 19th century until World War I, the belt was used as a
decorative and utilitarian part of the military uniform.

4
 During the 20th century, men started wearing leather belts with the purpose of
preventing the pants from falling. Women’s belts, on the other hand, were often made of the
same fabric as their matching dress or coat. Belts of plastic or metal links have also been
worn as a trendy fashion accessory.
HATS
The earliest known hat was worn by a Bronze Age man named Otzi, a mummified
body frozen in a mountain where it was found to be there since around 3,300 BC. This
headwear was a bearskin cap that looks like a Russian fur hat without flaps.
Ancient, upper-class Egyptians cover their heads with headdress to keep them cool.
In Mesopotamia, people wore conical hats or those that resemble an inverted vase.
During the middle Ages, hats denoted social status. In the late 16th century, women
had structured hats like those of male courtiers. A wide range of hats were designed during
the 19th century.
In the Western world, the beret hat has been worn by both sexes of all ages since the
1920s. It was adopted as part of the US Girl Scouts’ uniform in 1936 but was replaced with
the visor baseball cap in 1994.

❖ Fashion accessories can be loosely categorized into two general areas: those that
are carried and those that are worn. Traditionally carried accessories include
purses and handbags, glasses, hand fans, parasols and umbrellas, wallets,
canes, and ceremonial swords. Accessories that are worn may include jackets,
boots and shoes, cravats, ties, hats, bonnets, belts and suspenders, gloves,
muffs, necklaces, bracelets, watches, sashes, shawls, scarves, lanyards, socks,
pins, piercings, rings, and stockings.

➢ Explore Activity 3: Trace Me!

Directions: In the given pyramid, sum up the history of fashion accessory from old to new
trends. Start at the lower part (old trend) to the top (new trend).

The possibility of tracing jewellery’s historic itinerary derives primarily from the
custom, beginning with the most remote civilizations, of burying the dead with their richest
garments and ornaments. Plastic and pictorial iconography—painting, sculpture, mosaic—
also offer abundant testimony to the jewellery worn in various eras. It is probable that
prehistoric humans thought of decorating the body before they thought of making use of
anything that could suggest clothing. Before precious metals were discovered, people who
lived along the seashore decorated themselves with a great variety of shells, fish bones, fish
teeth, and coloured pebbles. People who lived inland used as ornaments materials from the
animals they had killed for food: reindeer antlers, mammoth tusks, and all kinds of animal
bones. After they had been transformed from their natural state into various elaborate forms,
these materials, together with animal skins and bird feathers, provided sufficient decoration.
This era was followed by one that saw a transition from a nomadic life to a settled social order
and the subsequent birth of the most ancient civilizations.
