In this comprehensive study, fashion historian Daniel Delis Hill chronicles women’s and men’s fashion accessories from 1800 to the new millennium. Each chapter includes a historical overview of the era and an introduction to the principal fashions worn by women and men. Accessories are arranged by category and include hats, shoes, handbags, jewelry, gloves, parasols and umbrellas, fans, neckwear, belts and suspenders, handkerchiefs, hosiery, walking sticks, and eyewear. With more than 800 illustrations—many never before seen in book form—this well researched study is a valuable resource for the fields of fashion history, fashion design and merchandising, theatre costuming, and American popular culture.
