Accessory store categories, page 3 of 3

This is the third page of the accessory store categories, completing the alphabetical index of fashion accessory store sections. The categories here run from pageant sash stores, pareo stores, pocket square stores, poncho stores and purse stores through reflective armband stores, shawl stores, scarf stores and stole stores to sunglasses stores, suspender stores, tie stores, tiara stores, umbrella stores, vest stores, wallet stores and watch stores. Page 1 of the index covers bags through earmuffs and page 2 covers evening wraps through neckerchiefs. This page holds the directory's great family of wrapped and neck-worn accessories, shawls, scarves and stoles, whose pages explain how the three differ, and the formal men's trio of ties, pocket squares and suspenders. As on the other index pages, the category links appear high on this page, directly below this introduction, because an index exists to be used. The main fashion accessory store pages collect the same retailers by store.

Completing the Index

With this page the category index covers every accessory store section in the directory. The pattern across all three pages is the same: find the accessory, follow its category to a page of retailers who sell it, and use the cross-links to move between related accessories, purse to wallet, scarf to shawl, tie to pocket square, without returning to the index. Readers who prefer to browse by retailer rather than by product should use the fashion accessory store pages, where the stores are listed with their full ranges.

New accessory types join the index as retail creates them, and established categories split when a type outgrows its page, as gardening gloves split from gloves. The index is maintained as a working map of the accessory trade rather than a fixed list.

Common Questions

Which categories are on page 3 of the accessory index?

Pageant sashes, pareos, pocket squares, ponchos, purses, reflective armbands, shawls, scarves, stoles, sunglasses, suspenders, ties, tiaras, umbrellas, vests, wallets and watches. Each link leads to that accessory's own store page. Together the three index pages cover the whole accessory alphabet, from bag stores on page 1 to watch stores here, and each category page names and describes the retailers who sell that accessory.

How do shawls, scarves and stoles differ as categories?

By size and use. A scarf is the neck-sized piece, worn for warmth or accent. A shawl is the large wrap worn over the shoulders, for warmth and coverage. A stole is the narrow, formal member of the family, worn with evening dress. Their store pages overlap because the same retailers sell all three, often from the same fabric range, and the pages cross-reference each other along with evening wraps and neckerchiefs, the family's other members.

Why do watches and sunglasses sit in the accessories index?

Because retailers sell them as accessories. Sunglasses are eyewear but are stocked, styled and bought as fashion, by color, shape and brand, alongside the rest of the accessory counter. Watches are instruments, but fashion and jewelry watches are sold in the same departments and the same boutiques as the accessories on this page, which is why the jewelry guide's watches section and this index both lead to them.
