Would You Pay $34 For Gloves With Missing Fingers?

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:30:00 -0800

The price seems a little steep, but at $34, these Etre Touchy Gloves do solve a basic problem: using your iPhone, iPod, computer, or other touch-screen device while wearing gloves. Most gadgets won't respond to a woolly glove, only bare skin. In theory, I like these. And on days that the temperature doesn't dip too low, I guess they're practical - but I still think they're a bit silly-looking.

For the record, I'm still torn on these fingerless gloves, though most of you find them totally geek chic.

If you require gloves but hate not being able to type on your iPhone while wearing them, fingerless gloves are a happy medium. These Crochet Knit Purple Fingerless Gloves are super cool, no? I dig the rich color and the way they scrunch.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Glove Me

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

I'm in desperate need of a new pair of cozy gloves (or two!). I don't live in snow, but my hands still manage to freeze every morning. I'm not too picky about style - I'd rather see where your imagination takes you. But I will say, there's nothing more sexy than a buttery leather glove that smothers the hands. Oh, and I don't want anything super sporty or ridiculously expensive.

I'll start you off with this Vogue Russia editorial with Masha Novoselova; use it as inspiration.

The Look For Less: Alexander McQueen Fingerless Gloves

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

After perusing a selection of gorge(ous) gloves, I came to the realization that I need a pair of fingerless gloves. They remind me of Madonna circa 1980, plus I love the tough-chic vibe. I live in a fairly moderate climate, so these Alexander McQueen Fingerless Gloves ($470) would be a perfect Fall staple. But dang, that much for a pair of leather gloves? I don't think so!

I want tough-chic? Well I can get it with these Free People Speed Racer Gloves ($48). They're just as luxurious, and the price makes sense. Even better, the design is practically identical and it comes in various colors - awesome.

Trend Alert: Gorge(ous) Gloves

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Gloves have a certain mystique. Then there's the upped glam factor when you slip into gorge(ous) gloves. Remember how screen sirens of yore seduced with their Hollywood waves and sexy satin gloves? It may be early Fall, but Lily Allen mixes things up in her black ruched gloves; with her dark shades she looks very incognito chic. The best part, depending on where you dwell: gloves are functional. Cold coziers start scoping out leather and cashmere; sun worshippers feast on lace and fingerless.

Trend Alert: Leather Gloves

FabSugarUK — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:00:10 -0700

It might seem too early in the season to be considering buying gloves, but this season Karl Lagerfeld becomes an unlikely style icon as his penchant for leather fingerless gloves influences the fashion world. Designers such as Alexander McQueen have copied Karl's signature item for the cooler months.

The gloves aren't always fingerless, but they are often short and square in shape. New Look have the perfect pair of driving gloves (£12) and River Island give the style a feminine twist with delicate frills (£14.99).

Alexander McQueen Black leather fingerless gloves - £235.00	Black Scoop Frill Gloves - £16.00
Black smooth leather gloves - £15.00	100% Leather Gloves - £12.00
Leather Gloves - £12.00

Do You Wear Gloves as an Accessory?

FabSugarUK — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700

You may not believe me but it is definitely getting slightly warmer in the UK. I still recommend wearing a coat when heading out but you might soon be able to leave your hat and scarf at home. Gloves can be quite stylish, particularly if they're made from suede or leather or even lace. This got me wondering, do you wear gloves as an accessory rather than a practicality?

Mommy's Lil Helper: T-Hand Muff

LilSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 05:00:15 -0800

March is coming in like a lion in many parts of the country where snow is still building up and the winds are howling. Though Spring is just around the corner, the volatile weather means it's still too early to put the hats, gloves and scarves away. This goes for mamas, as well as our lil ones. For those that run out the door and leave their gloves behind (or better yet in the pockets of a different coat), take a look at the Teutonia T-Hand Muff ($60).

The two-sided, fleece-lined hand muff features a weatherproof shell and attached directly onto the handle of any stroller with a rounded handlebar. Perfect for daily walks in brisk weather or for attaching to a jogging stroller, I love that unlike gloves, you don't have to struggle to remove your hands every time your tot asks you to grab something out of the diaper bag for her. The machine-washable muff can be used for years to come, making it a worthy investment.

Lil Tip: Lands' End Lost Mitten Club

LilSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:00:53 -0800

The same thing happens every year without fail. As February arrives, kids lose their mittens just as the stores are turning their merchandise over to Spring. Good luck finding a replacement set this time of year. Lucky for us, the folks at Lands' End know a thing or two about missing gloves and have instituted the Lost Mitten Club. Once your tot has declared his mitten missing, simply visit the company's site, identify the glove you need and contact the company with the item number and color. If the item is available, Lands' End will ship you the replacement for half the cost of the pair - without the hassle of a shipping fee. Sounds like the perfect solution to an age-old problem!

Leather and zippers usually go together like peanut butter and jelly but there's something to be said about these >Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Zippered Gloves ($215). Is it just me or do they remind you of dish-washing gloves? This is a classic case of good intention, bad execution. What do you think?
