accessory
Belt or scarf
An accessory is something added to enhance or complete something else—a belt, scarf, or handbag that complements an outfit; a case or charger sold alongside a phone.
In law, an accessory is someone who helps commit a crime without being the principal actor: accessory before the fact, accessory after the fact.
The adjective means supplementary or aiding: accessory muscles, accessory equipment.
