One of the hottest trends for cold-weather chic is fingerless gloves.
They come in handy when you’re in a cold office and you need to type, when you drive, get a manicure, apply lipstick or make a phone call. No glove removal necessary.
And thanks to the punk rock trend that dominated the fall scene, retailers from Chanel to Urban Outfitters are offering their version of the glove that covers the palm and the wrist but not the fingers.
Giving a dramatic finish to your look, these gloves are more fashion than function. They can give a glam rocker look when partnered with black skinny jeans and a motorcycle jacket, a long faux fur vest and leggings and give a dramatic finish when teamed with a curve-hugging dress this holiday season. Just don’t go too wild with them.
I’ve revisited my love for fingerless gloves. My first pair was purple and lace and is directly from circa 1983. This winter, I’m going to leave my fingers exposed and put on my fingerless gloves.
I’ve found some hot ones you’ll love.

ReplyDeleteThey are good with big rings!
Another great benefit WB. You can show off some fabulousness when wearing them, especially those stackables of yours I LOVE.
