Fashion models

Winter

For wearing with outerwear in autumn and winter, long gloves are made of leather, suede, wool, and cashmere. Most often, they have the length to the elbow, and the fingers are completely closed. Inside the gloves should be insulated with wool knitted fabric, the warmest ones can have a fur lining. They can be smooth or folded.

No fingers

Glovelets are gloves with fingers that are cut around the middle phalanx. Such models are often very richly decorated - the decor on them looks especially beautiful. Of course, you can’t wear such gloves in the cold, but there are warm models that are suitable for avtoledi.

Wedding

Amazing beauty gloves for a special occasion. Sewn mainly from guipure, satin, silk with the addition of synthetics or artificial materials. The choice of styles - just huge! Fully enclosed gloves with fingers of translucent guipure look very tender.

Popular model - mitts, which are fixed on the middle finger with the help of an eyelet. Such gloves lengthen hands well and make the bride more elegant. Many brides prefer mitts also because the wedding ring will be put on the finger immediately.

Wedding mitts without an eyelet are sewn with a beautiful frill on the fingers.

The length of such gloves can be different - from elongated versions, reaching to the middle of the forearm, to very long, extending beyond the elbow. The fantasy of designers here knows no boundaries - wedding gloves are decorated richly: embroidery, beads, rhinestones, drapery, ruffles and ruffles, applique. By the way, it is not necessary that wedding gloves are white. Like a dress, they can be ivory, red, blue and further down to extremely bright colors.

Best of all, long gloves look with dresses on thin spaghetti straps or even with open shoulders. According to etiquette, during the feast they are removed.

With cuff

Very elegant models of gloves, where the cuff (the whole part that comes after the brush) is made of a different material. For example, on the hand glove leather, and the cuff - cashmere. Due to the beautiful cut (cuff and glove can be stitched with a corner, rounded seam, etc.) and the combination of materials such gloves look expensive and stylish. They can be quite fancy in the care, but they are worth it! V

With sleeve

Gloves with a tight knit cuff, resembling the sleeve of a warm sweater.Due to the fact that they combine leather with knitwear, they are cheaper than all-leather options, but they look very good with coats, ponchos, vests.

Mitts

Mitts are a kind of fingerless gloves. Unlike glovellets, they have no fingers at all, i.e. end on knuckles. Some models have a small "pipe" for the thumb, and some do not. For girls with elegant hands and beautiful manicure are good and those and others. If gloves with fingers are a classic, then glovelets or mitts will perfectly complement a sporty or casual style.

Colors

Manufacturers of gloves produce products of all colors that you can imagine. Basic colors - black, gray, brown - will fit almost any clothing. You can dilute dull black and gray coats or coats with blue, blue, green or red gloves. Whimsical beige, white gloves come up to no less whimsical light coat or elegant dresses. Glossy gloves complement the evening look.

When choosing the color of gloves it is worth remembering that it is not at all necessary to combine them with shoes or a bag. It’s a good idea to support them with a small accent that is similar in color. But generally long gloves can and should be a bright vertical line in their own right.

Materials

The purpose of long gloves and what they can be combined with directly depend on the material from which gloves are made.

For wearing with outerwear in different seasons, of course, leather gloves are most suitable. They are durable, beautiful, sufficiently status and appropriate in any situation. For winter, the options are made of smooth leather, warmed with wool or fur, with fur trim. For warmer weather or under the dress - gloves made of thin leather, perforated, fishnet. In leather gloves, hands never sweat or freeze.

Suede long gloves are also versatile. They are worn both with coats and fur coats, and with dresses (an example that has already become a classic is the image of Angelina Jolie in the movie “The Tourist”). Such models look very expensive, but require careful maintenance and careful handling. Good suede is rather thin, has a perceptible pile. When choosing suede gloves, pay attention to the thickness and quality of the seams - they should not rub their hands.

Cashmere gloves are warm and beautiful. Stylists do not recommend combining them with leather clothing, but with a coat or fur products - this will be an excellent choice. Cashmere, in addition to warming the skin, is quite elastic. Such gloves can be worn on a bare hand or on a sleeve.

Knitted options are good for creating relaxed bows in casual or sport-chic style. They are well suited to jackets and down jackets. Knitted gloves are much cheaper than leather gloves: this is a great option for female students or those who are just starting trendy experiments. The best option for the street - wool knit gloves. By texture, they are perfectly combined with a coat, knitted cardigans, capes, knitted dresses.

Another inexpensive option is fleece gloves. It is a synthetic material that resembles wool and retains heat well. They are quite thin and comfortable, easy to stretch and unpretentious in the care. Can be supplemented with knitted details on the cuff. Fleece gloves - not an elegant option. They can be put on, going shopping, walking with children.

Lacquered gloves will attract everyone’s attention. Long by the elbow or just to the middle of the forearm, they will be the center of the image and its main accent anyway. That is why stylists believe that this thing is not for every day. Such models will suit the evening dress, elegant fur coat (especially bright, contrast colors). Patent leather requires more thorough care than normal. It is not recommended to carry heavy bags in such gloves.

For wearing with evening dresses, except leather, suitable for various gloves made of cloth.Satin - absolutely smooth and with a beautiful tint on the fabric. Very often wedding gloves are sewn from satin. Decorated with draperies, embroidery. Well drawn, but rather slippery - it is worth considering this, picking up a handbag and other accessories.

Lace models surprisingly emphasize the elegance of hands. Openwork, translucent, depending on the color, they can make different notes in the image. For example, black - will give mystery and elegance. Red - passion (it is no coincidence that long red gloves are part of erotic costumes), and white or beige emphasize the ease and purity of the image.

Real velvet, which is made of silk fiber, is not easy to find today, so velvet gloves are a rarity. Nevertheless, there are good synthetic counterparts that look no less luxurious. The main thing is that the pile is thick and on a dense basis - then the fabric will form amazing folds, which give the velvet a solemn look. Long velvet gloves are an evening outfit, black velvet gloves can be worn with an elegant coat.

How to choose

In order for a long glove to sit like a glove and clasp a hand, you need to choose the right size.

The size of the gloves is determined by:

  • Measure the circumference of the palm across in the place where the base of the thumb.
  • Translate the result into inches, multiplying the resulting number by 2.54.
  • Round the result.
  • The resulting number is the size.

Without fitting gloves are not bought, the more long! The cuff should not be narrow and not wide, easy to put on and not to gather in the folds, if it is not provided by the model. Fingers should move comfortably and bend. If the fingers are “spread apart” in different directions, the correctly chosen glove will not “pull” anywhere - otherwise it will quickly break.

Pay attention to the neatness of the seams - on long models all this is much more noticeable than on short ones. Insulation should be well distributed inside and free from damage.

Leather, suede, cashmere or velvet options are best for the coat. A fur coat with a short sleeve, of course, is an impractical thing. Therefore, as a rule, this is either the second coat in the wardrobe (it is assumed that there is another warm one with a solid sleeve) or a transforming model. In such a fur coat, a full-fledged sleeve can be removed, allowing you to wear it with long gloves in fairly warm weather.

How to wear

To serve gloves for a long time, you must wear them correctly. You can not push all 5 fingers into the glove at once, and then straighten the material by crossing the fingers of two hands. In order not to damage the seams, the cuff of the glove needs to be bent (with long gloves - slightly prisbore) and first hold only 4 fingers, it is good to stretch them, and then stick your thumb into the glove, at the same time smoothing the cuff and straightening to its full length. In tight gloves that are worn with difficulty, you can pour a little talcum powder.

What to wear

If we are talking about outerwear, long gloves are worn with fur coats and a coat with a short sleeve. Either the sleeve ¾, then the glove reaches the elbow, or 7/8, then this is a shorter version of the glove - to the middle of the forearm. It is very beautiful if the sleeve is wide - the accessory will emphasize the line of the hand more strongly.

Elongated gloves are perfectly combined with fur vests, capes, gilet. On the catwalks you can see stylish images: fur vest - bare hand - glove. In reality, it is unlikely to be worn this way, so the stylists recommend that the glove match in color with what is worn under the vest — that is, black turtleneck - black glove.

Under the coat, you can choose both leather and suede, and textile (velvet, cashmere) and knitted options. If you want to surprise - be sure to look at the cap - a trapezoid-shaped coat with slots for hands.With such a stylish little thing long gloves look good, combining different textures - for example, leather and knitwear.

The poncho is also a great companion for long gloves. To the cape you can pick up both knitted and leather, fleece models.

Gloves should be selected very carefully for an evening dress. It is believed that the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove. Ideally, if there are no sleeves at all, and the glove goes by the elbow. But it is suitable for slender girls with rather long and elegant hands. Plump girls should be remembered, in no case should a glove “cut” a hand in the thickest place.

Each image is individual, but stylists advise the following combinations:

  • For a dress of a classical cut from dense fabric - leather gloves.
  • Chiffon, guipure dress will successfully complement suede gloves.
  • Satin and silk dress will complement the accessories of lycra or satin.

When dressing for a festive event, you can wear a bracelet or a ring over the gloves, but in no case should there be a lot of jewelry!
