Gloves Are Not Only A Must, But Also A Cool Accessory

If you approach the matter very seriously and thoroughly, there are two main accessory trends throughout 2020. You guessed it: first, the masks. Secondly, gloves. It is difficult to perceive them as tendencies, despite the obvious mass character, because as soon as the obligation appears, the pleasure disappears. Even if their versions are presented by all designers with almost no exceptions. Although a couple of years ago, the same paramedical masks were a personal choice and in any image would be an unusual accent that would immediately set you apart from the crowd. There were also heroes of street style chronicles at European fashion weeks, which we remember by their constant appearance in masks: this was their feature.

Fortunately, everything is a little different with gloves. Even though they have become the same mandatory part of the program today, we remember them even without a link to the coronavirus and the necessary security measures. And designers began to actively make them before the pandemic. At the start of the fall-winter season, we realized that smart "evening" gloves would be a hit in the fall - who knew that all summer we would also have to wear latex gloves? The main superpower of the gloves that designers offer to wear this season is the ability to turn any everyday look into a festive one in a matter of seconds. Although these are mainly very long, often richly decorated gloves, they can be worn not only with elegant floor-length dresses. And not only to the opera or to social events. Watch the Off-White show: there Virgil Abloh showshow a pair of long gloves transforms a simple suit, which itself looks like a nurse's uniform. Both the evening baby handbag and sneakers as shoes only continue this game in the contrast between everyday and festive. And it looks great. The same trick works with other everyday items: wear luxurious gloves with plain tees, jeans, sweatshirts with rolled up sleeves, or flannel shirts.
