Give yourself the gift of gloves this year to keep warm and to demonstrate your sense of fashion. Choose cold-resistant gloves with a unique and stylish flair.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Look for thermal linings such as fleece, wool or cashmere to ensure maximum heat entrapment within the glove.

  2. Step 2

    Choose gloves with weather-resistant exterior surfaces to repel rain, sleet and snow in the harshest conditions.

  3. Step 3

    Ask about adjustable wristbands or elasticized wrist areas. It is essential that the heat remains trapped inside the glove, and that cold is not allowed to enter through loose wrist areas.

  4. Step 4

    Consider a pigskin exterior for a more dressy glove purchase. Pigskin is tough, durable and stain-resistant while still thin and fashionable.

  5. Step 5

    Decide on a basic color. Shades of black, gray and brown accessorize best with most outfits. Try to choose a color that suits your wardrobe.

  6. Step 6

    Check the stitching carefully. The smaller and more plentiful the stitches, the more durable the gloves tend to be.

Tips & Warnings
  • Consider a matching scarf along with the gloves.
