Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 01 May 2012 17:03:44 +0000

Whether you’re biking around Brooklyn in the mid-50 degree May day, driving aggressively, air conditioner a-blasting, or you’re in the ‘gini with the top down, your hands could use their own chauffer. A bright little leather fingerless glove not only adds seasonal shock value, but also a handy grip. If Karl Lagerfeld can wear glovettes all year round, well by Gaultier, you can too. Here are five that make the leap to Spring.

Make like Grace Kelly and steal off like a Thief into the sun in a convertible and a pair of summer driving gloves with your own Carey Grant.

And Frankly, I’m shocked his contract allows anything to be sold that cheap. Meanwhile, you and I both have been laboring under the impression that the entire Karl Lagerfeld for Macy’s lot had been wholly devoured by the Macy’s masses. But today I forced Karl out of hiding with his hands up, and found him lingering on the sale rack! I know what you must be thinking, Non, pas vraiment!? (because you’re chic and speak French like the Kaiser). Oui, I say, and here they are in their zipped glory. Get yours before the fade to spring is complete.

Though, if you dress like Karl, you know that fingerless gloves, a powdered wig and a thousand layers of suit are all-weather appropriate.

Touch the gloves above to see more deets and to make them yours.

Originally $44, now $9.99. You’ll get just the amount of wear out of them at the end of this season for them to be pristine for Fall 2012.

STORY OF: Gloves

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:04:14 +0000

Gloves are not just made to keep your hands warm during the winter months, they have been worn by women as fashion items since the 13th century. Gloves became a symbol of status depending on the amount of embellishment, and the trends that catch on are often catapulted to the mainstream by a music of film fashion icon.

The above gloves, from the 1600′s, showcase linen embroidery that was typical of the time. The knitted gloves to the right held less social standing then the embroidered ones on the left.

Most flapper costumes come complete with satin opera gloves, a confusing addition because flappers are most often seen with bare arms or light crocheted gloves which were popular during the 1920′s.

During the 1940′s, after the war was over, glamorous opera gloves came back into style. Opera gloves remain popular in editorials today.

During the early 60′s opera gloves were still popular due to Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Audrey Hepburn’s influence as a fashion icon. 60′s secretaries wore short white gloves along with their sweater sets, girdles and high heels (think Mad Men chic).

The punk movement in the late 70′s sparked the trend of fingerless studded gloves worn by both men and women as strictly a fashion item, regardless of the season. Rainbow style gloves were also popular, commenting on the trends of the time.

In the 80′s lace gloves were popularized by Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan. Fingerless gloves were also popular during this time. Thankfully the combination of these trends is mostly left to halloween costumes and 80′s theme parties.

Gloves in the new millennium have taken on many diverse styles. These Gucci gloves (left) from Fall 07 represent the constant use to embellished leather since the 70′s. Fingerless gloves have once again become popular, a trend we can attribute to the phenomenon of texting. Patricia Field’s gloves (right) are an example of how gloves have taken on a life of their own besides just keeping the wearer warm.

What do you think will be the next trend in gloves?
