As the temperatures edge closer towards the subarctic lows that will be dominating through January and February, now is the optimum time to invest in a pair of quality leather gloves that you can make the most of throughout the chilly season.
The sexy alternative to their cosy knitted siblings, as proven by Ryan Gosling in Drive, a pair of soft leather hand warmers add a certain je ne sais quoi to any winter outfit. The best part? They’ll keep your hands toasty, too, avoiding the dreaded chapped knuckles that often raise their ugly heads the moment the weather changes.
While leather is the overarching term, it’s far from one size fits all. From a buttery nappa, to a super soft suede, or even a luxurious lambskin, the fabric’s characteristics span far and wide. When it comes to colour, stick to the classics. We’re talking black, navy, burgundy, or brown, all colours that will easily slot into any hat, scarf, and gloves combo - the holy cold weather trinity.
Features to look out for depend on your preferences. If you regularly use your phone, make sure you choose a design with touch-screen friendly finger points, or if warmth is what you’re in the market for, then a cashmere lined style is the one for you.
Either way, we’ve curated an edit that spans the breath of the leather glove market to make sure there’s something for everyone. We’ve got you, and your fingertips, covered.
