Clothing may draw shoppers in—but accessories close the sale. The right add-ons not only elevate your customer’s style but also increase your average order value without adding complexity to your operations.
In dropshipping, accessories are low-risk, high-reward. They’re lightweight, ship fast, and often have better margins than apparel. More importantly, they let you tap into style-driven impulse buying, which is key in fashion ecommerce.
With a strong accessory lineup, you don’t just sell outfits—you sell complete looks.

What Makes an Accessory “Essential” for Dropshipping?
Not every item with a zipper or sparkle deserves a spot in your store. Here’s what to look for when choosing accessories:
- Universal appeal: Complements multiple styles or clothing types
- Lightweight and low return rate: Easier to ship and less sizing guesswork
- Perceived value > cost: Can be sold at 3–5x supplier price
- Trendy but evergreen: Style-forward with year-round utility
- Bundle-ready: Can be paired with core clothing SKUs to boost cart size
With these criteria in mind, let’s dive into the top accessory categories to build a stronger, smarter fashion store.
1. Jewelry: The No-Brainer Add-On
Jewelry is one of the easiest and most effective ways to increase AOV. It pairs with almost everything, requires no sizing, and fits neatly into most brand aesthetics.
Top-selling types:
- Minimalist necklaces
- Gold-plated hoops and stackable rings
- Layered chains and charm bracelets
- Custom name or birthstone pieces (ideal for POD branding)
Profit note: Reliable jewelry suppliers offer pieces at $1–5 per unit, letting you retail for $10–30. That’s up to 70% margins, especially with private-label packaging.
Pro tip: Use EPROLO’s custom packaging services to add branded jewelry boxes, cards, or pouches.
2. Bags and Small Leather Goods
A statement bag or sleek wallet can make a basic outfit look premium. And your shoppers know it.
Best picks for your store:
- Trendy shoulder bags (under 500g)
- Quilted or croc-embossed mini bags
- Crossbody wallets and mobile phone slings
- Vegan leather or faux suede options
Why it works: These pieces are functional and fashion-forward, appealing to both practical and aesthetic buyers. Bonus? Unlike bulky handbags, crossbody and shoulder bags trending this season are dropshipping-friendly—compact, lightweight, and shipping-cost optimized.
EPROLO advantage: You can source a wide range of micro-bags and clutch styles with local or global fulfillment, keeping costs and delays in check.
3. Hair Accessories: High Margin, High Trend Velocity
Hair accessories are having a fashion moment—and that makes them perfect for dropshipping.
What to add:
- Satin scrunchies in seasonal color sets
- Rhinestone clips and pearl barrettes
- Padded headbands and bandanas
- Claw clips in retro or minimalist shapes
Profit margin: Often over 60%, with bundles increasing both value and conversion.
Selling strategy: Offer style bundles (e.g. “Neutral Hair Essentials Set”) and use them as low-cost upsells at checkout.
4. Belts and Statement Waist Pieces
A belt doesn’t just hold up pants—it shapes the outfit. These are great for fashion stores targeting dresses, streetwear, or layered looks.
Best dropshipping styles:
- Chain-link belts for Y2K aesthetics
- Double-ring or corset-style belts
- Faux leather wide waist belts
- Western or vintage-inspired buckles
Why they convert: Belts rarely require size-specific listings, and shoppers often buy them to style outfits they already own.
Bundle them with dresses, oversized shirts, or jumpsuits for better outfit inspiration.
5. Sunglasses: Small Product, Big Style Impact
Sunglasses combine fashion and function—and they’re one of the top accessory items searched year-round.
Styles that sell:
- Oversized square frames
- Slim retro rectangles
- Aviator and cat-eye shapes
- Tinted lenses for a bold twist
Margin note: Supplier prices as low as $2–10, with resale potential of $20–50 per pair.
Sunglasses ship easily and make for great bundle add-ons, especially during seasonal lookbook campaigns.
6. Scarves and Wraps: Seasonal but Versatile
Whether it’s for warmth or flair, scarves can add color, texture, and drama to a basic outfit.
Top options:
- Lightweight chiffon and silk-feel square scarves
- Oversized blanket scarves for fall/winter collections
- Boho fringe wraps and festival styles
Use them to pivot your store into seasonal transitions—fall layers, spring accessories, or summer headwraps.
7. Fashion Socks and Tights
This one’s underrated. But playful socks and statement tights are back in the trend cycle, especially among Gen Z and K-fashion audiences.
What to stock:
- Sheer mesh tights with printed motifs
- Ruffle-edge ankle socks
- Logo or graphic crew socks
- Lace or fishnet styles
Why it sells: These are small, inexpensive, and make perfect Instagram-ready additions to streetwear and casual looks.
Great for bundling with sneakers, loafers, or loungewear drops.
