The material for their manufacture can serve as:

• mohair;
• wool;
• knitted mink.

The main advantage of mohair is its naturalness, for many fashionistas this is the most important criterion. This material is extremely gentle and soft to the touch, it is pleasant to touch. It is not prickly and does not wipe at all. It does not cause any irritation, so it is considered an excellent solution that can easily come in contact with the skin. It is also respected by designers, as any color will look good with it.

Woolen gloves keep warm. In this case, the wool can be different, ranging from goat and ending with some exotic species, for example, yak wool.The main properties of this material are resistance to moisture, airiness and softness. All this also allows such gloves to have excellent antibacterial characteristics, since this material simply does not create the conditions for their reproduction.

Knitted mink models are a purely winter accessory. They are very warm and look expensive. This effect can achieve a special structure of fur. Such solutions are very popular, as they are constantly in demand and are quite durable, which means they will serve their owner for more than one season.

The first criterion that should guide the choice of gloves is the size. After all, they will sit perfectly on the hand only when they fit according to physical parameters. It is not always possible to carry out fitting in the store. And if purchases occur somewhere on the Internet, then this question may even turn into a problem.

For such cases, there is a special algorithm that allows you to calculate the size of the gloves. For this, you need to know the girth of the wrist. Measuring it, the resulting figure must be converted to millimeters and divided by 27.

For example, the volume of the wrist is 15 centimeters or 150 millimeters. Dividing this number by 27, we get 5.5. That is, you need to find a model with this or about the same size.

When choosing this accessory, you should also consider the features of the figure. If the hands are full, then short models will look better on them. And for small hands, women's gloves are perfect for the length not exceeding the elbow.

But even if the size is known, there is a risk that you can buy a low-quality product. To avoid this, you should pay attention to:

• Insulation, which should be clearly distributed throughout the area. If the product is fur, there should be no scuffs or signs of wear anywhere;
• Stitches. Everywhere they have to be as flat as possible and they shouldn’t have any threads sticking up or anything else.

It is imperative to require a warranty card and save the receipt, since the option that the goods will have to be returned can never be excluded. And do not be afraid to ask the seller how to care for gloves. After all, leather products can not be washed. You need to know how to keep their original appearance as long as possible.

Winter gloves, especially when it comes to knitted, need special care. To make them wear as long as possible and retain their original appearance, you need to follow these tips:

• When washing in any case, they should not be rubbed;
• The water temperature should be no more than 38 degrees, and it is better to be generally cold;
• Woolen models should be washed only by hand using special care products for such things;
• The washed thing must be straightened and put on a dry towel;
• Dry it should only be straightened;
• You can iron the gloves only through a cloth that will be slightly damp. And if they are made of cotton, this is the only way to do it;
• If a thing is made of mohair, then it should be washed even more carefully - the water temperature should be no more than 26 degrees and special substances should be used for wool products.
