Indian accessories are separate costume pieces in an Indian style, from headbands with feathers and beaded jewelry to axes and staffs, with which you complete an Indian costume. The dresses and suits themselves are under Indian clothing, and here are the headbands, beaded bracelets, earrings, bags, and dreamcatchers that give such an outfit its own character. With a full feather headdress and a staff with a face, you create a chief, long black hair with braids and a narrow band with feathers make an Indian woman, and an axe with a saber-tooth necklace makes a warrior.
Indian accessories for each party: parade, western party, or children's party
- For a long carnival day in the parade, choose pieces that you do not need to hold, such as a zippered bag that hangs diagonally across your shoulder or overboots that you wear over your own shoes.
- At a western party among the cowboys, a staff or a peace pipe with an eagle head stands out, because you carry it in your hand and immediately show which side you are on.
- At an evening party where you are viewed up close, small jewelry works well: beaded bracelets in cream with brown inserts or earrings with a knotted web and silver-colored bells.
- For a children's party or the children's parade, there is, among other things, a headdress with fluffy tufts in red, yellow, green, purple, and orange, and a smaller axe.
Why do feathers and beads make an Indian look recognizable?
Feathers and beads are the two elements on which a costume version of the Indian look rests: a feather above the head and a row of beads around the wrist or neck immediately make a regular costume recognizable. A full headdress with a fan of long feathers belongs to the chief, while a narrow braided headband with a few loose feathers suits a more subdued look. The range goes from a single item to a complete combination. You get most items separately, such as a single bracelet or a bag, but one women's wig comes with a headband with a feather, and a three-piece set gives you your axe, spear, and staff all at once. If you start without a costume, such a combination gives you the most per purchase, and if you already have a suit, you complete it with separate jewelry. Pay attention to the composition of feather items: some headbands, headdresses, and bags contain real feathers, which is useful to know if you prefer to avoid them.
Head, hair, neck, or hand: where do you start?
Choose the part where your look needs to stand out first.

Indian accessories for carnival and a western party
During carnival, Indian accessories are a quick way to turn a simple costume into a recognizable Indian costume, even if you are walking in a group and everyone chooses their own detail. At a western party, they form the counterpart to cowboy hats and sheriff stars. You wear most of the range as a woman or man, but some wigs and headbands are specifically for women, and some long black wigs are especially for men.
Buying Indian accessories for your own look
You build a chief starting with the headdress, an Indian woman starting with the hair, and a warrior starting with what you hold in your hand, and jewelry completes each of those looks. Combine two or three pieces that are located in a different place, then the overall look remains calm yet recognizable. If you order multiple accessories at once, you get free shipping from 75 euros.
