Although winter gloves are considered an accessory, no winter look can be imagined without them. Gloves, first of all, are necessary for warming hands and protecting delicate skin from the weather.
What qualities should have?
Choose quality gloves for the winter - this is a whole science. Hands should be under reliable protection regardless of the weather. With the advent of frosts, you want to wear the warmest, but at the same time very beautiful gloves, made of good, high-quality material that will last no season and will not require complex care.
Models
The range of winter gloves is huge, each season there are new models and trends, but we managed to identify the main models, whose popularity will not decline soon.
Long
Gloves are in trend every winter. This accessory is perfect for classic outerwear, fur coats, coats, tweed jackets. It is impossible to do without such an accessory if the sleeve is three-quarters long in your clothes.
To create such gloves, a large number of different materials are used, among which leather, knitwear and suede are in the first place. In pursuit of beauty, we should not forget that the main task of winter gloves is the ability to warm and protect from the weather, so you must choose dual models.
Gloves mitts
Do not lose their popularity. Designers are constantly working on the development of this direction, creating more and more new models that differ in design and material used. Knitted knit mittens are well suited for wide coats, teenage jackets, ponchos, and down jackets.
Sports
For winter sports you can not use ordinary gloves that we wear in everyday life, no matter how warm they are.
If you want to choose an accessory for skis, then you can choose from mittens and gloves. The first option, although it is warmer, but its functionality is limited compared to gloves. Gloves for skiers are three-layer similar to the costumes and must perform the same set of functions: protection from wind, frost, snow, ice, removal of moisture. Double-footed models are a separate category of sports gloves that can warm in the most severe frosts.
For running it is worth having a separate pair of gloves. Knitted, leather and suede models for such purposes will not work. Hands will suffer from wind, sweat and even more cold. To create such accessories, modern synthetic materials are used that do not let in cold, wind, do not get wet and allow the skin to breathe.
Some models of gloves can easily turn into mittens. Such gloves can also be used for active winter holidays. Experienced and notorious athletes usually have two pairs of gloves: thin on the fleece are used in the offseason, and thick two-layer models with a filler are worn during frost.
Sensory
Owners of touch phones and gadgets should worry about their comfort in advance. In order not to take off the gloves every time when you want to answer the call, dial something or look at your smartphone, you must have an accessory with the appropriate functionality. The range of gloves with Heattech technology, which are suitable for the phone / smartphone, offers a large selection of colors and decor options.
No fingers
Gloves every year are becoming increasingly popular. This accessory demonstrates a bold taste and original sense of style. Not only in the sporty style, such an accessory is acceptable. Many designers include fingerless gloves in their shows, combining them with elegant clothes. Not only the original look attracts fashionistas in this accessory, it is impossible not to note its practicality.
Materials
Much depends on the choice of material. How warm gloves will be, durable, stylish, able to be combined with various clothes. And this is an incomplete list of those features that depend on the material of the gloves.
- Fabric and suede once became very popular among manufacturers of winter accessories. Suede gloves are very warm and beautiful, but this material wears out quickly and loses its appearance. Nevertheless, one pair of suede gloves in a women's wardrobe should be. These subtle, elegant, concise accessories can set the overall tone for any image.
- Knitted winter gloves are very warm and comfortable. Such models look good in sports images. For knitted gloves, it is recommended to choose a hat and scarf of the same color, many manufacturers create ready-made sets consisting of these three accessories.
Particular attention should be paid lining. In winter gloves, she plays a huge role. In good models, the lining should be fully or partially natural with the addition of high-quality synthetics. The advantage is to give gloves with knitwear, flannelette, wool or wool blend lining. Fleece also creates warm and pleasant to the touch lining for winter gloves.
- Gloves made from bologna or Polartec are often chosen for children. Such models are made in bright designs, they are individual and original. Gloves for girls are created in bright colors, using appropriate patterns, images of cute animals or cartoon characters. Inside there must be a lining (knitted or fur), around the wrist there is an elastic band that does not allow the wind and frost to get to the delicate baby skin.
Mittens are becoming popular again. For women of any age, you can choose a decent pair of mittens. A special place is occupied by mittens in the youth style. They are created from a variety of materials. If earlier only knitted models were popular, now they can be leather, suede, and fur, and, in general, anything. Mittens are worn in a pocket or on an elastic band, like in small children. Previously, it was convenient, but now it has become more fashionable.
- Wool gloves are very warm, if made qualitatively and the ratio of natural material to synthetic does not fall below 50%. There are several types of wool that are used to make winter gloves. Alpaca wool is the warmest, body-friendly and waterproof. But such accessories are very rare and expensive. Cashmere gloves are not as warm as the previous version, but more affordable. An excellent option are gloves made of camel wool. They are warm, durable, affordable and pleasant to the body. If you have the opportunity to buy gloves from merino, then you should definitely take advantage of this opportunity. Woolen or half-woolen gloves look very cute and homely.
