About Accoutrement
Accoutrement shares linguistic French ancestry with one of
English’s most popular French carryovers:
Couture. Both accoutrements and
couture fashion can adorn our bodies.
Did You Know>?
We owe the French for accoutrement, which comes from an Old
French word that means “arrange or sew.”
That’s something you’d likely do with your accoutrement.
