It’s FINALLY freeeezzzzing in New York, we were apparently all waiting for it to happen. That moment when you can no longer carry your handbag like a lady without a decent pair of gloves! Ah yes, it’s that time of year when they are needed to for even the briefest encounter outdoors…
It was Queen Elizabeth who made them really desirable, by wearing them richly embroidered and jeweled, as well as for putting them on and taking them off to draw attention to her beautiful hands (historic hand model? perhaps!). I don’t know one person who would do that today because, frankly, that would be strange. And I might think they have some sort of OCD. However, gloves are just as important for keeping our precious hands warm in the polar months of winter.
They’ve come along way, too. No longer reserved for dainty evenings, and certainly a far cry from the mittens worn as a child and clipped on to your sleeves. No, today’s gloves are made of soft cashmeres and supple leathers. And are in touch with current technologies — you don’t even have to remove said gloves to use your iPhone. HEAVEN FORBID.
Here’s a few of our favorites to keep us gesturing through the snowstorms ahead…
Blue Zipper, Echo with Coat, APC; Black polka-dot, Agnes B with Coat, Ganni; Black leather fringe, Diane Von Furstenburg with Coat, Uniqlo; Printed fingerless, Brora with Coat, Zara; Black and pink, & Other Stories with Coat, Reformation.
Very nice gloves!
Unfortunately we have to wear mittens here as it’s very cold. :)

J’adore les imprimés à pois! <3
Pour ma part, c'est très difficile de me trouver des gants parce que je suis petite (j'ai donc de toutes petites mains, normal, tout est proportionnel!) donc je ne suis pas du tout exigente sur le modèle. Le principal déjà, c'est que ce soit à ma taille!
J'en ai trouvé des très sympas en cuir chez COS il y a deux ans!
Belle journée,

Julie, Petite and So What?
J’aime beaucoup les gants, et je les perds tous, aussi beaux et chers soient-ils, à la vitesse de l’éclair. C’est donc un accessoire dans lequel je n’investis plus, je me contente d’en acheter deux ou trois paires au début de l’hiver, une avec un motif rigolo, deux en polaire un peu fin.
De toute manière à la fin de l’hiver, j’en aurai perdu la moitié.
Et j’utilise les paires dépareillées pour le jardinage
Belle soirée
Told myself at the beginning of this winter, that I should finally grow up and bought a beautiful pair of the softest leather lined with cashmere… Only to report that they don’t make my hands warm whatsoever! Had to resort back to fuzzy mittens. So much for being lady in New York…
Sheepskin lining required for anything below freezing!
I love gloves and i love the elegance of taking your gloves to shake one hands…the problem is that the beautiful and elegant gloves are not working with new teoqnologie….the one that works are ugly or basic but in a world where we use our phone all the time ……we have not so much choice or a risk to loose one…

J’aime les gants, mais j’aime aussi les bagues. Et j’ai une bague de fiançailles assez “haute”. Comme je la porte tous les jours, ce n’est pas du tout pratique avec de beaux gants en cuir fin. J’ai investi dans des moufles, pas du tout sexy mais chaud et pratique !
A haha love the shooting!
