Ladies gloves

Such an important accessory as gloves is an indispensable item in any winter and demi-season look. In addition, summer models have become more and more popular lately. Let's figure out together what is the reason for the popularity of this wardrobe item and how to correctly compose your unsurpassed ensemble so that it turns out to be the most stylish and harmonious.

In the Middle Ages, this accessory was more widely used, becoming an obligatory attribute of the outfits of secular ladies and their gentlemen. The glove presented by the girl to the young man spoke of indifference to him and the willingness to create a family union. A glove thrown in the face of an offended person meant an invitation to a duel to protect their interests. At the same time, wearing gloves became part of secular etiquette. It was indecent to appear at church services with open hands, and it was also considered bad manners to hold out a hand in a glove for greeting.

Gloves were also widely used in the armies of different nations. So, in the Middle Ages, the crusaders wore special covers for their hands, woven in the likeness of chain mail, and Russian officers in the rifle regiments wore this wardrobe item as a sign of distinction.

Modern models of women's gloves abound in 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 textiles and a layer of insulation, which perfectly warms hands in cold weather. Autumn gloves are most often made of thin fabric and often play the role of a stylish addition to the image, only partially retaining their main function.

Delicate summer models look unusually delicate - in such gloves any girl will look very feminine and sophisticated. Delicate lace and decor of beads and rhinestones make summer models of gloves a great addition to formal dresses and airy evening looks for a prom.

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

Sports models represent a large group of gloves. Very often they are combined from several materials and perform several functions at once. For example, gloves with open fingers, or, in a simpler way, mitts, are used in weightlifting and strength fitness. Inserts made of non-slip material on the palms prevent the bar 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 equipped with battery-operated or rechargeable heating elements. These 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 will be appropriate for evening receptions in combination with a dress with 3/4 sleeves. Also, such gloves will look luxurious in images where the 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, so they can be easily removed and put on, but they have a fairly tight fit on the wrist in the form of a button, Velcro or a pull-down curtain.

• From wool

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

Cashmere gloves are an attribute of stylish and fairly wealthy girls. Since the production of natural high-quality cashmere takes quite a long time and is a very costly process, the cost of such products, respectively, will be an order of magnitude higher than that of gloves made of other materials. But the high price is more than offset by the beauty and softness of natural cashmere gloves, which will delight their 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 a 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 an engagement ring at the most solemn moment will not be difficult for the groom. Often they are made with lace mesh inserts, which makes them even more delicate.

Knitted, fleece and other fabric accessories will be a great addition to your fall look.In such gloves, women's hands will feel comfortable in cool weather and will be protected from the cold piercing wind and autumn dampness. Balon gloves work especially well with this function - in them you will feel warm and comfortable in any weather.

• Leather and fur

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

Tanned gloves made of special leather will be an excellent winter accessory for sports (except for those that require special equipment). They have rubber inserts on the palms, which keep the most vulnerable areas from abrasion, thereby extending the life of the gloves for more than one season.
