With the onset of cold weather, the choice of hand accessories in the form of gloves has become especially relevant. Nowadays, the market provides such a wide selection of clothing and accessories that anyone can choose an original and sophisticated clothing attribute that emphasizes the individuality and subtle taste of the owner. Long gloves are just such an accessory, looking unusual and elegant. There are several types of long gloves, based on their style and other features, which we will talk about later.
Long gloves to the elbow
In fact, there are very few types of such accessories and they are usually called: long gloves, elbow-length gloves, high gloves. However, there are several types with an official model name.
Mitts
Fingerless gloves are a popular type of fingerless gloves. They are designed to warm the hands at the wrists without restricting the movements of the fingers, which provides their owner with high comfort and warmth. Despite their functionality, mitts also play a decorative role due to their beautiful appearance.
The peak popularity of this variety remained until the 20th century, and ladies from the upper classes made mittens their favorite accessory for their hands. Their length can reach wrists or elbows. Due to their sophisticated appearance, mittens were worn in combination with ordinary and even wedding dresses, since the free areas of the fingers allow the wedding ring to be placed on the bride’s hand.
Nowadays, mitts have found their use even in sports to protect heated ligaments, and, of course, in creating stylish outfits. Mitts in combination with delicate chiffon dresses create a light and romantic look for a girl.
Loveletts
Loveletts are a type with cut off fingers, most often associated with rock music fans and bikers, but they add a touch of playfulness and mischief to the image of an ordinary girl.
The first people to wear fingerless gloves were poor people who could not afford proper clothing. However, over time, other people adopted the idea, noting the convenience of this accessory. Cyclists and bikers have found use for glovelettes while riding, adding special holes for ventilation to regular gloves. These gloves can provide warmth to the palms and hands without restricting finger movement. Girls combine them with leather jackets, trousers and grinders.
There is another version of the glovelett, made of lace. Black lace makes the accessory suitable for a gothic look, while white lace is a great addition to a wedding dress.
Long models with fingers
Long models with fingers are relevant for every season. Summer options are made of lightweight material, autumn ones contain a knitted lining, and winter ones are insulated with fur. This accessory adds a touch of luxury, elegance and high style to your look.Most often, this accessory is combined with a fur coat, fur vest, jacket and coat with 3/4 sleeves.
High gloves undoubtedly play an important decorative role, as they make the girl visually slimmer and make her stand out from the rest. We must not forget about functionality: high, insulated models perfectly warm your hands in bad weather and prevent the penetration of cold air thanks to the dense lining. In recent years, classic versions of gloves without patterns, made of leather or velvet, have become especially popular. The most practical colors are black, gray, brown and dark blue.
Long white gloves with lace and other embellishments will be a great addition to a wedding dress with short sleeves. This accessory will add a touch of elegance and luxury to the bride’s image, emphasizing the importance of the moment.
