costume accessories

Dress-up add-ons

Costume accessories are items worn or carried to complete a costume or disguise—wigs, hats, masks, fake weapons, jewelry, and similar additions that enhance the effect without being the main garment.

The term applies especially to Halloween costumes and theatrical dress: The costume shop had racks of pirate accessories.

In fashion, the same items without the word "costume" are simply accessories.
