A Glove Primer

When you purchase a pair of gloves, it is worthwhile to invest in a good, quality pair. Special occasion gloves should look as fabulous as the outfit they are accessorizing! Gloves are the perfect, and most often worn evening accessory. The color choice is up to you, although sophisticated black and elegant white are classics which coordinate well with everything. Four-button (midarm) lengths to over-the-elbow lengths are appropriate for evening wear. Such gloves are an integral part of an outfit therefore it is not necessary to remove them during the evening with the exception of the dinner table. For night-time drama, wear long gloves with bracelets (never rings) over them. Wrist length gloves are appropriate for evening in accordance to the specific outfit being worn. Classics and embellished styles are popular - some wearers like to add trims or treatments to a classic which match their particular dress.

Bridal gloves add the finishing touch to a wedding ensemble. Brides should choose a style and color that closely matches their wedding gown. Wrist-length gloves are always perfect - when in doubt they are a good choice and look perfect, regardless of the length of your sleeve.

During the ring exchange portion of the ceremony, lined gloves can easily be removed at the altar and held by the maid of honor until the time of the recessional, when she will help you replace them. Another option is top split the ring finger seam so that the wedding band can be slipped on without removing the entire glove. Brides should plan on wearing their gloves during the receiving line, but gloves are removed before eating.
