The history of gloves can be traced back to ancient times, which began precisely with their use as protective equipment. In the fall and winter of 2020-2021, everything is conducive to wearing gloves, so a rich selection of these accessories turned out to be very useful.

In the Middle Ages, the purpose of gloves was revised. They began to acquire symbolic meaning: they were received by knights when ordained to the rank, and bishops, when ordained, gloves appeared as a sign of distinction in other privileged estates. And of course, they differed in length, shape, material and decor. Gradually, gloves turned from a useful item into a fashionable addition to clothing. Women began to wear them as jewelry.



The most expensive and beautiful were the gloves of the noble and the rich, the gloves of kings and the highest clergy. Things from other eras are returning to our modern world, but exactly as it was originally, nothing is repeated. Even today, gloves are worn more for protection from the cold and during certain activities. That is why gloves can be found very different, both knitted and leather, as well as from light airy lace or transparent organza.



In the new season, designers have paid attention to long gloves - up to the elbow and above. They decorate the look, complementing outerwear and evening wear. Most of the offered products are made of thick leather. How does it look in the evening version? We can say - great!

The designers decided - if you can add coarse army boots to a dress made of transparent light chiffon or tulle, then why not wear gloves made of thick leather in combination with an evening dress?



How to wear long gloves with outerwear?

It turns out that it is not at all necessary for the sleeves to be cropped or the coat (jacket) to be sleeveless at all. In some cases, the sleeves of the clothes are lifted up like an accordion, but there are options when the gloves are worn directly on the sleeves. In this case, the sockets of the gloves are slightly widened.



How will long gloves look when worn over the sleeves of a dress? Your doubts will be dispelled, or so the Givenchy designer thinks.



Many designers deliberately emphasize long gloves, making them a bright accent or contrast with the main set.



This accessory fits no less luxuriously in a monochromatic outfit, giving the image an elegance and aristocracy.



In addition to leather, the collections include knitted gloves made of fine yarn, organza, velvet, satin, silk, as well as light chiffon products. They go well with dressy sets.

The designer Giambattista Valli always chooses floral prints in his collections, and this time even the gloves were with bright flowers. And Rodarte designers prefer elegant sets that can outshine with their brightness and original decor. Many of these models will take their rightful place at the carnival party. That is why the gloves are matched to them with a bright, sparkling decor.



Today, designers, trying to surprise and shock the public, decide on fantastic and sometimes ugly images. However, in most cases, an image that is complemented by gloves often becomes more elegant and acceptable for many fashionistas.
