Bright Whites: White Gloves to Lighten Up Your Look

There may be people who follow the “no white after Labor Day” rule and believe that white is strictly a summer color. But even though there’s nothing like a crisp white linen dress on a hot day, we think that white is a hue to have on hand year-round. Your white piece can be as small as a pair of gloves, but it’ll play a part in brightening up your outfit.

You can’t go wrong with having a pair of white gloves in your accessories arsenal. Here, we break down some of the ways to wear them.

Snow Angel

No matter how old you are, waking up to freshly fallen snow is one of the best parts about the wintertime. Leap out of bed to frolick around in the untouched flurries, but be sure to bundle up first. Be cozy in fleece thermals, a puffer jacket and earmuffs. Last but not least, white knitted gloves with adorable wooden buttons will keep your hands warm while you’re making a snowman.

Don’t think that gloves are solely for keeping your hands warm. With the right texture and outfit, they can be used to make a serious sartorial statement. For inspiration, look back to the iconic French fashion house Courrèges’ heyday in the 1960s. Courrège girls are outfitted in short A-line dresses and their white gloves make the perfect finishing touch. You can go back in time through fashion by donning a swinging mini dress with short white leather gloves.

Ski Bunny

Every year, you pack up your ski gear and head for the mountains; you live for the adrenaline you get from zooming down the slopes. Whether your ski suit is a sleek black or a cherry red, white gloves with black patterns will look good regardless of the other colors you’re wearing. Pick out a practical pair with rubber slip-proof technology that’ll let you keep a firm grip on your ski poles.

Whether it’s the chilly climates that call for covered hands or you’re looking to top off your everyday outfit with an unexpected detail, white gloves won’t let you down. Have this surprisingly versatile accessory on hand.

White gloves are the perfect accent for year-round wear.
