Gloves
Let’s talk gloves! A winter essential for sure. There are so many styles – ski gloves, knit gloves, elegant satin or velvet opera gloves, timeless leather gloves. Traditionally gloves were a status symbol, and they are showing up more and more in todays fashions. A pair of opera gloves can be styled with any dress, or skirt set. I personally like to style them with a strapless or sweetheart neckline. Anything sleeveless to really add drama to an outfit and focus on the gloves. Wear chic leather gloves to upgrade your winter outfit by styling them with your everyday attire. For example, a wool coat with jeans, knee high boots and a fitted turtleneck. Stick with a monochrome look to create the elegant and chic look.
