Women's Fashion Accessories

A number of fashion accessories supplemented the woman's 1950s wardrobe.

Handbags and gloves were still a very common addition to the 1950s costume. Small strands of pearls were often worn around the neck, and bracelets and earrings were also common.

Jackets were usually quite short and close-fitting, worn open, and coordinated with the dress.
