Long, mid-length or short; leather, suede or wool; plain or studded, feathered or furred, fingerless or full. Gloves graced the catwalk in almost every possible way throughout the Autumn / Winter collections.
So how to wear them? Perhaps the most important lesson when it comes to glove trends this season is this: forget the boring old gloves and make a statement.
With clothing trends for Winter being largely on the safe side - with block colours, plain cuts and limited detail being the norm - accessories are the perfect way to jazz things up. Super-long gloves can be worn straight up the arm or slouched down. Bright colours can liven up an otherwise plain outfit, while beading, feathers or fur add a layer of feminine detail, particularly suited to evening affairs.
