Most women want to refresh their wardrobe on a regular basis, but don’t want to spend a lot of money on new clothing items and accessories. This has led to one of the most popular trends in fashion today. Many women are embellishing items they own with peacock feathers in order to give them new life. Take a look at some of the ways that women are using these feathers to add attractive detail to items in their wardrobe.

A Plain Purse

There are many women who have at least one beloved purse in their wardrobe that they will never get rid of. A colorful gathering of feathers from a peacock can make a simple purse stand out in a crowd. Some women choose feathers that complement the colors in a purse while others select feathers that serve as a dramatic contrast to the colors in a handbag. Either way, a tote bag or purse decorated with feathers is sure to make a statement.

Embellishing a Favorite Hat

Decorating a cloche or a wide brim hat with feathers is not a new idea. Feathers from peacocks have been used for decades to embellish the look of women’s hats. A 21st century woman with a favorite hat can give it a whole new look by decorating it with feathers. She can take a classic hat and make it all the more remarkable with a collection of mottled quills or feathers with a peacock eye design.

A Memorable Pin

Many women opt to dress up a simple pin by decorating it with feathers. This may be a favorite pin worn on the shoulder of a simple black evening dress. The colorful plumes are sure to capture the attention of the other guests at a party or gala. A decorated pin is a finishing touch that reveals a woman’s sense of fun and charming style.

A Glamorous Touch for a Costume

Some women use feathers to embellish their outfit for a costume party. For instance, a woman dressing up as a 1920s flapper may use feathers to decorate her headband. Or, a woman may use feathers to enhance the look of a belt, sash or hat that goes with her costume.

Finally, most women love feathers from a peacock because there are dozens of creative ways they can be used to spice up any outfit!
