all the trimmings

all the trimmings

1. All the trimmings, condiments, or accompaniments that are desired or considered standard for a particular dish. Often spelled or pronounced colloquially as "trimmins" or "trimmin's." My mom said she'd cook a big ham with all the trimmings for Christmas dinner. Wow, an eight-ounce steak and all the trimmin's for $15? That's a heck of a deal!

2. All of the accessories or decorations desired or considered standard for a particular kind of outfit. I managed to find a fantastic tuxedo with all the trimmins at a local vintage shop. I just think it's a bit silly spending so much money on a dress and all the trimmings if you're only going to wear it once.
