Were you looking forward to the temperature finally dropping down so you can take out winter clothing you have stored for a while? Winter jacket, scarf, and what about gloves?
I feel like we skipped autumn this year in Paris. From t-shirt and light jacket we jumped into warm coat just within few days.
As much as I love summer, this year I was particularly looking forward to winter, just to taking out my collection of leather gloves.
My collection has grown, especially this year. I got one pair from my friends for my birthday (in July), one pair from my husband a few weeks ago, and two pairs from one of my followers in spring. I also brought two pairs from Florence as a souvenir this August.
The truth is that I always took gloves more as a practical thing rather than a fashion item.
And I have to say, without them my life wouldn’t be comfortable as I always suffer from cold on my fingers in particular.
My mom never forgot to put pair of gloves in the pockets of my winter coat, when I was little. And my dad had always spare gloves under his jacket when we were skiing, changing for the one I wore every hour as they got wet and cold.
Back to fashion….When I started to wear leather and later leather gloves, I understood they have a bigger and deeper mission than just keeping me warm, as an accessory they have their unspoken communication.
Leather gloves attract attention and express style.
I particularly like long leather gloves as their impact is thrilling. Putting them on and out is kind of a ritual and the audience never misses watching this moment. Being it in the restaurant, bar, or at the exhibition. When I take my time, pulling finger by finger and then taking them out slowly with elegance, people can’t help themselves but watch.
And that’s the power of leather gloves. It is the movement, the way we put them on or take them out. They indicate the action which follows after the gloves are out. What is she going to do now?!
Do you find it fascinating when a woman takes out her leather gloves?
What concerns the men, I can’t share how they feel about “glove ritual”. If you own some pairs, share your experience in comments.

Gloves have always been my ultimate leather attire. I would guess most guys all love a lady in boots, but I’ve known since a young age that my fascination with leather runs deeper than that, and there is simply
no feeling that compares to seeing a lady wearing her soft leather gloves, and on lucky days, watching a lady pull on her most-cherished gloves, enjoying the sensation, stretching the leather fingers, and smoothing the leather creases. My own glove collection is slowly growing but I admire this blog so much in helping grow confidence to be free from the taboo of fetish, and being able to wear my leather gloves freely when I go out. Gloves will always be my…
As my forecommenters wrote my thoughts, I only have two remarks to make:
whenever I will marry my wife, I wish to make an exchange of pairs of leather gloves made by glovemakers (like and along with the wedding rings)
inspired by a view in school, I have the feeling-like wish that I will recognise my wife on her leather gloves: hers are black with a red line around the wrist ...
My wife. Calvin Klein leather jeans, custom made Colombian leather shirt. And buttery soft leather gloves...
The leather glove is an accessory that has always fascinated me when worn by a woman, it is a detail that conveys elegance, charm and protection, the gesture of wearing it has always hypnotized me, it appears consciously or unconsciously as an increase in power in the hands of a Woman, her power to touch but not to be touched, completing a total leather outfit becomes the perfect completion of an invincible armor associated with boots... black leather is mysterious and perfect, but perhaps a touch of color attracts even more attention with a personal style (admiring purple gloves)!
