The word 'accoutrements', is a rather old-fashioned one. According to a dictionary it means 'a soldier's equipment, excluding clothes and weapons' --i.e. things like helmet, armour, spurs.

Nowadays some writers, especially in fashion magazines, use it as a rather fancy word to mean 'outfit, accessories etc'.

e.g. The King dressed for battle in new and shining accoutrements.
