Such an important accessory as gloves is an irreplaceable detail in any winter and demi-season look. In addition, summer models are becoming more and more popular. Let's see together what is the reason for the popularity of this piece of clothing and how to make your own unsurpassed ensemble correctly so that it turns out to be the most stylish and harmonious.

A bit of history

The most ancient gloves in the history of mankind were discovered by archaeologists during the excavations in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. At that time, they served as an exceptionally functional part of the wardrobe, protecting hands from injuries and adverse environmental conditions.

In the Middle Ages, this accessory was more widely used, becoming a mandatory attribute of dresses of secular women and their gentlemen. The glove presented by the girl to the young man spoke of indifference to him and readiness to create a family union. A glove thrown at the offended person meant an invitation to a duel to protect their interests. At the same time, wearing gloves has become part of secular etiquette. It was indecent to appear in the service in the church with open hands, and the hand in a glove for greeting was considered to be a bad tone.

Gloves are also widely used in the armies of different nations. Thus, in the Middle Ages, the Crusaders wore special covers on their hands, woven in the image of chain mail, while Russian officers in the archery regiments wore this piece of clothing as a sign of distinction.

Types and models

Modern models of women's gloves abound with a variety of styles and textures, making it possible to choose them for almost any ensemble. The most popular are the classic models designed primarily to protect hands from the cold. As a rule, these winter and demi-season models are made of leather or textile and a layer of insulation that warms the hands perfectly in the cold. Autumn gloves are most often made of thin fabric and more often serve as a stylish addition to the image, only partially retaining their main function.

Openwork summer models look extraordinarily delicate - in such gloves any girl will look very feminine and sophisticated. Delicate lace and décor of beads and rhinestones make summer models of gloves the perfect complement to formal dresses and airy evening wear for a graduation party.

Very often, gloves carry a purely functional purpose. For example, very popular models for driving. They are made of leather with inserts in the palm area. This prevents the hands from sliding on the steering wheel and makes driving more confident. In addition, in the cold season, when the car needs enough time to warm up, such gloves will help keep your hands warm until the optimum temperature in the cabin.

A large group of gloves are sports models. Very often they are combined from several materials and perform several functions at once. For example, gloves with open fingers, or, in a simple way, mitts are used in weightlifting and power fitness. Inserts of non-slip material on the palms prevent the rod from falling out and protect hands from calluses from sports equipment. The same models are often used as equipment for sports dancing.

For winter sports gloves are supplied with heating elements on batteries or with a battery. Such heated models are usually waterproof and are used for extreme sports such as snowboarding, freestyle or slalom.

The size of women's gloves also has some differences. So, elongated models are appropriate for evening receptions in combination with a dress with 3/4 sleeves. Also, such gloves will look luxurious in images where outerwear has a shortened sleeve.

Short models with an open wrist are most often used by indoor athletes. For outdoor sports, gloves are also always shortened, making them easy to take off and put on, but they have a fairly tight fixation on the wrist in the form of a button, sticky tape or a curtain.

Material

Today, for the production of gloves used a variety of materials that give this accessory various properties and characteristics.

  • From wool

Wool models - the most common option for the cold season. So, sheepskin gloves are the most affordable option from natural fur. Despite the low cost, this material has excellent heating characteristics and wear resistance.

Cashmere gloves - an attribute of stylish and fairly wealthy girls. Since the manufacture of high-quality natural cashmere takes quite a long time and this is a very expensive process, then the cost of such products, respectively, will be an order of magnitude higher than that of gloves from other materials. But the high price is more than compensated by the beauty and softness of natural cashmere gloves, which will delight its owner for more than one season.

  • From textiles

Quite a few models of gloves can be attributed to this category, most of which are used as a decorative element of the bow. For example, silk, satin and velor gloves very harmoniously complement the image of the bride on her most important day. Wedding models usually do not have fingers, so putting on a wedding ring at the most solemn moment will not be difficult for the groom. Often they are performed with lace mesh inserts, which makes them even more delicate.

Knitted, fleece and other fabric accessories will be an excellent addition to the autumn bow. In such gloves, women's hands will feel comfortable in cool weather and will be protected from the cold piercing wind and autumn damp. Balon gloves are especially good with this function - you will feel warm and comfortable in them in any weather.

  • Leather and fur

Suede and leather gloves trimmed with natural fur are deservedly considered the warmest. Models of suede look very solid and presentable, especially if they have fur inserts on the edge. Rabbit fur is considered the most popular fur for the manufacture of women's gloves, as it has excellent heat-saving properties, and it is relatively inexpensive.

Tanned gloves, made from specially made leather, will be an excellent winter accessory for sports (except for those where special equipment is needed). They have rubber inserts on their palms, which keep the most vulnerable places from abrasion, thereby prolonging the service life of the gloves not for one season.

Colour

Depending on the color of the gloves, they can be used in a variety of ways, creating incredibly stylish and memorable ensembles. Classic shades of gloves can rightly be called black and brown. These colors are basic in the creation of winter and demi-season accessories, which may well complement almost any image.

Light-colored gloves - white, gray, beige, will most successfully fit into the ensemble with elegant and feminine coats. For example, by adding a double-breasted drape gray trench coat with white gloves, you can demonstrate your refined taste and sense of style. Beige gloves will be perfectly combined with boots of the same shade or a little darker. However, wearing them in combination with brown shoes, you will not regret it.

Unusually bright and stylish red long gloves look, complementing the image with a black coat with a short sleeve. Having added a hat to the image of the same color, you will stand out from the crowd and present yourself to others from the most favorable side.

Bright shades, such as yellow, green, red, burgundy, orange, will successfully complement the youth set of outerwear, consisting of parks or alaska jackets. No matter what the weather is outside - the winter cold or autumn bad weather, such bright accessories will raise your spirits and help keep your hands warm.

Decor

The flight of design ideas with each new season more and more makes fashionistas happy, giving them gloves with the most unimaginable trim. In the latest collections you can find models that are decorated with beads and beads, embroidery and tanning. Gloves with rhinestones and pom-poms are also popular - in this combination any model will attract attention and will be a bright accent of any image.

And only a nondescript logo of interlaced letters G on gloves will show to true connoisseurs of fashion how much you value real quality.

Chanel

Chanel - a company that produces things according to the precepts of the great Coco Chanel. It is not surprising that each new collection differs from the previous one by the presence of additional decorative elements and style. but one thing always remains the same - loyalty to the traditions and exquisite features of each pair of gloves.

It is quite simple to notice the owner of Chanel gloves in the crowd - most often the models have a large tanned logo on the front and framing around the edge in the form of double stitching, as well as decorations with sequins or elegant bows.

An American company that since 1927 has been creating costumes and equipment for hockey. At the moment, models for women have appeared in the assortment, so that fragile girls, when they are engaged in such a rather courageous sport, feel much more comfortable and protected on the ice.

Nike

The world giant in the production of sportswear and footwear, which has not ignored such a thing as seals. It goes without saying that we are talking about sports models.In the assortment of the brand you can find models for weightlifting, mitts for fitness, special gloves for downhill and cross-country skiing.

All buyers who have ever purchased Nike gloves to practice, unanimously say that they have never met better and more reliable models. And these words are not in doubt, because the company has been working on each pair for years to make it the most reliable and functional.

How to choose?

Before you go to the store to buy gloves or before online shopping, you need to decide for what purpose you need this accessory. If you want to get reliable protection for your hands in the winter cold, then you should pay attention to the warmed fur models made of genuine leather or suede. Also, be sure to take into account that this item fits to your outerwear not only in color but also in style.

When buying an autumn-spring accessory, keep in mind that it should be light, but at the same time protect your hands from piercing wind and damp. An excellent choice for these transitional seasons will be a model made of leatherette or raincoat fabric with a thin layer of insulation.

Very often gloves include a wedding dress. As a rule, they are already bundled, so the bride does not have any particular problems with the choice of this accessory. But still, if you want to complement the gloves with a festive ensemble in which they are absent, then you should try to make the entire wedding bow be harmonious and beautiful. Pay attention to the lace patterns of mitts with a loop for the middle finger - in such gloves it will be convenient to put a ring on your finger and hold the bridal bouquet.

When buying gloves, pay attention to the material from which they are made. If you are allergic to natural wool or fluff, you should immediately abandon these models and look at gloves made of artificial materials - for example, fleece or artificial leather.

Also, make sure that the gloves match your image in general - rocker mitts will look pretty ridiculous in combination with an elegant coat in a classic style.

How to determine size?

Most European and Russian brands adhere to a standard dimensional grid, where the dimensions are denoted by the letters XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

If you do not have the opportunity to try on gloves before purchasing (for example, in the case of an online purchase), you can determine your own size. To do this, measure the width of your palm, clasping a hand tape at the level of the base of four fingers with a measuring tape. The thumb is not involved in this dimension. By comparing this value with the data in the table below, you can easily buy the right size gloves.

What to wear?

Gloves are combined with most outerwear, regardless of the season and style. It is only important to take into account that every detail in the image should be in harmony with the rest of the wardrobe items, then the image will be stylish and attractive.

But it happens that there is a need to wear gloves with a dress or suit. What to do in this case and choose the most correct combination? The main thing, remember that women's gloves for an evening exit should be only from thin fabrics - velvet, silk, satin. Their iridescent texture is designed to complement your elegant image, create some intrigue in your appearance and arouse the interest of the public to your person.

If you prefer to attend a solemn event in a strict suit, consisting of a classic tuxedo in a female performance and trousers, then it is useful to complement it with short white gloves. It may seem that such a combination is a truly masculine set, but the latest fashion trends tell us the opposite.

When choosing an elegant evening dress, it would have been nice to get elongated gloves to match to the elbow or a little higher.But they will be appropriate only if there are no sleeves at all or they are very short.

Beautiful images

A very feminine and stylish look is a red poncho with a short sleeve in combination with leather black elongated gloves. The classic red and black color combination makes this ensemble almost eternal. A short dress emphasizes the slimness of the female legs and adds even more femininity to the bow. Perfect ensemble to visit the office, where there is no strict dress code.

Red color again. No wonder he is so often present at fashion shows, and for good reason celebrities increasingly include him in their images. It symbolizes passion and embodies in the female ensemble audacity and desire to stand out and attract attention. As in this image - a combination of red gloves and the same bag over the shoulder immediately draws all eyes to itself, being a bright accent in the image. The avtoledi fur coat is a basic item in the set as well as black skinny pants. In general, this combination will be appropriate when going to the movies, shopping or just while walking through the winter city.

In this image, everything is very harmonious - a sweater of large knit, straight short skirt of beige-brown color, and accessories, which are the accent of the whole image. The burgundy color, being the main one, looks very elegant on gloves, scarves and ankle boots. A voluminous clutch successfully completes this stylish ensemble.
