This list covers 95 accessories that start with H, from “Hair Band” to “Hand Painted Scarf.” You’ll find items for the head, neck, wrists, waist, and feet, plus bags and small everyday helpers. Some are simple and practical, like “Hair Tie” or “Heel Grips.” Others are decorative or tied to a culture, like “Hawaiian Lei” or “Hanbok Norigae.” People use them to hold hair, keep warm, carry things, or finish an outfit.

Accessories are the extra items you add to an outfit to make it more useful, more personal, or more polished. They can also carry meaning. A “Hawaiian Lei,” for example, is a garland of flowers that is traditionally given as a sign of welcome and affection.
