HISTORY OF FASHION ACCESSORY

According to the history fashion design is generally considered to have started in the
19th century. The manner of clothing highly represents the economic status of an individual
and expression of occasion or feeling of the wearer. During the mid-19th century, new styles in
clothing denoted middle class status. The dark suit, in somber shades of black, grey, or brown,
for men connoted authority, responsibility, and respectability. The sailor suit became an
essential uniform for middle-class boys. Neo-classicism influenced middleclass women's styles
of dress. A respectable, middle class woman did not expose her body. They wore their hair in
curls or knotted like women in classical statues. Middle-class girls, like princesses, wore bows,
ruffles, and pastels as a symbol of their distinctiveness.
Fashion is one way of expressing oneself. It is a way of exploring yourself and standing
in front of the crowd with confidence. In reality, the reason why we want to choose our own
clothes and other stuff is to satisfy our own desire and fashion taste. We wanted to look
attractive and presentable through the clothes and other accessories we wear based on
personal comfortability, standard and preferences. The more we fulfill our wants and desire in
terms of fashion accessories, the more we feel happy and light. And the more we feel happy of
what we have, the more we raise our level of confidence to socialize with others.
In the Philippines, fashion styles of Filipinos largely depends on the culture, nature of
community and even the weather a certain location mostly experiences, from Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao. It preserves the identity especially the native Filipinos which is quite traditional
and antique style of fashion as taught by our great ancestors many years ago. Despite of
emerging technologies, other people such as those who are living in the mountain still uphold
the values and culture they inherited from their predecessor.
Still, fashion accessories continuously evolving and keep on innovating. Before, not all
can wear fashion accessories, but at present it was totally different since it became more
accessible, whether young or old, girls or boys are patronizing the use of fashion accessories.
