Accessories, like hats, fans, and gloves remained important, but styles changed. Hats with big brims were favored, as well as those with large embellishments, like flowers or feathers. Capes were still used, but fitted coats and jackets were favored. Bathing suits that covered well and came at least to the knee were just coming into vogue, but stockings were still used to cover the legs, so no skin showed.
Men like to appear elegant, if they could, but they tended to choose less fussy clothes with a tailored look. Bowler hats became popular for part of the time. Canes and gloves were other important accessories.
