The handy-dandy wristlet was introduced to women during the 1940s as a stylish way to carry “all of the basics," shares Schiavone. Today, wristlets remain a popular accessory for women on the go and have been reimagined by numerous brands — from Coach to Michael Kors.

5) Brooches

This accessory was a subtle way to add extra flair to one’s outfit in the 1940s, with many women wearing them on “their coats, hats, and bags”, says Kennedy. Now, brooches are in the midst of a major comeback, recently spotted on runways for brands like Tory Burch.

8) Pearls

These have long been the classic feminine accessory piece that women have turned to give their outfits an effortless timeless appeal."In the '40s, it was all about elegant strands and clip-on earrings. Now, we’re seeing pearls styled with bold hoops, stacked rings, and even paired with sneakers and sweatshirts. Basically, pearls are no longer just for the 'ladies who lunch' — they’re for everyone," shares Kennedy.
