Usually the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove. Or remove both and place them in your handbag. That may mean, when holding a plate of finger foods, to remove the glove from the hand you eat with, and holding it with your plate in your other hand. It may be permissible to wear them while eating with a knife and fork, especially in public like a restaurant (although usually the gloves are removed with the coat, but not the hat, in restaurants) but never while eating popcorn (a mistake admitted by the actress who played Ruth in It's a Wonderful Life) or anything else with the fingers. Never wear gloves when you need to eat with your fingers. Sometimes they were made to coordinate with the fabric on a handbag, or have matching bows to a certain dress. Plain pairs could and still can be spruced up by the buyer with embroidery, lace, and buttons. So many endless varieties on cuffs and hems, ruching and trim, embroidery and lace, cut-out work and inserts, looped trim and beading. They were often works of art and worth collecting just on that note. Not to mention sometimes beading looks better, or too fussy and you want a plainer pair.or the only pair that are the exact color to match your shoes are leather, and you need them in cotton.You can see why it was normal to own dozens of pairs, if affordable.īeautiful detailing on a few of my gloves. It is impossible to have too many gloves, or so it seems (can you tell, from the above photo? :-) Ideally, a lady needs in every shade of every color a short glove with a fitted wrist, a short glove with a flared wrist, a long glove with a fitted arm, and a long gauntlet-style. Some of my extensive personal collection. But since gloves are, sadly, no longer a normal part of going-out attire, when we do wear them we have a lot more leeway in how we wear them, being no longer bound to the danger of committing a social gaffe by wearing “colored” gloves instead of white ones, for instance. They were a very important part of a ladies' attire (gentlemen's to, but we're concerning ourselves here with ladies' gloves.) Ladies rarely went bare-handed off their own property, even as recently as the 1960s. Part Two, next week, will be about dating gloves and caring for and/or repairing them. Part One is a little overview about gloves in general, hints for wearing them, and discussing styles of gloves, regardless of age.

It occurred to me that it might be helpful to write about gloves in general, the different styles, and how to choose the correct gloves, so a two part series is in the works.
