The presence of gloves dates all the way back to times in ancient Egypt, when gloves were worn to protect the hands of prestigious women. Now viewed as a more fabulous and daring accessory, opera gloves are proving more popular even as the seasons change. For years they have been used as a symbol of status, protection, elegance, and timelessness. We recently have seen gloves from brands like Gucci, Saint Laurent, Moschino, Balenciaga, Erdem, and more heading into the spring and summer collections.

The word “glove” cannot be spoken without the recognition of the designer, Paula Rowan. It is safe to assume that she deserves the credit for the fashion world again normalizing the wearing of gloves. After styling Lady Gaga with various gloves in the movie House of Gucci, Paula Rowan has convinced the world that gloves are not only practical, but they are also stunningly beautiful. The popularity has sparked a demand for this eccentric addition to any fashion-lover’s wardrobe. Hoping to rejuvenate your style? You may have just come across the best new accessory!
