An accessory, such as a bandana or collar, for an animal, such as a dog, is provided. A bandana can have a triangular fabric body. A strap is attached to each of two ends or corners of the body such that each strap forms a loop. An elastic band extends through the loops of the straps and is formed into a closed loop shape.

The elastic band can stretch to allow the bandana to slide over the dog's head and to adapt to the size of the dog's neck.

A waist belt fastener system includes a belt and a buckle mechanism attached to the belt. The buckle includes a rectangular frame having upper and lower sides that are curved outwardly, creating a convex shape that curves away from the belt wearer. At the rear side of the buckle frame where the buckle attaches to the belt, a fixed tongue member projects away from the buckle frame. This tongue member is fastened to the belt such as by a rivet, firmly anchoring and securing the buckle to the belt and inhibiting movement of the buckle relative to the belt. At the front side of the buckle frame, a fixed prong projects inwardly towards the buckle opening. The prong rests against the belt once it is threaded through the buckle opening. A hook and loop closure system is used to attach the ends of the belt together once the belt is inserted through the buckle opening.
