When we pack our hands to protect them from the icy cold, we usually do so quite uncharitably and for practical reasons. But gloves have a lot of fashion potential.

When the temperatures approach zero, it is no longer enough to just put on a warm coat. Extra protective clothing in the form of scarves, hats, balaclavas and gloves is needed. While head and neck coverings have already established themselves as legitimate accessories, gloves are still mostly reduced to their functionality. The main thing is warm, they don't look good anyway. Except that this is a mistake - and a missed pleasure. Because used correctly, they can not only underline a look, but even enhance it.

Five trendy glove styles and how to combine them

The classic
.
Suitable models made of leather or imitation leather are the fashion glove par excellence. Simple, black models in particular are a perennial favourite on catwalks. No wonder, because they go with pretty much any look - even smart clothes, where winter gloves can quickly look out of place. Leather gloves, on the other hand, add the finishing touch to blazers, structured coats and trench coats
.
If you find the classic version too preppy, go for browns and suede. These features have a warmer effect. In bright colours, on the other hand, the gloves are an exciting eye-catcher.

The extravagant
.
You like to experiment with fashion and don't mind looking overdressed? Then long gloves are just the thing for you. Evening gloves, i.e. tight-fitting, fine models that reach up to or above the elbow, have experienced a hype this year. As winter gloves, they are now going into overtime. Combined with rolled-up jumper or jacket sleeves, they add a touch of glam to your look.

The down-to-earth
.
Good chance it was all too fancy for you now. Maybe simple knitted gloves are more to your liking? There are two things to consider so that they don't look cheap or unkind: the combination and the material. Knitted gloves look great with other cosy knitwear, flowing coats and monochrome looks. Also go for high-quality textiles such as cashmere or merino wool: it feels classy, it looks classy.

The Sporty
.
You like more of an urban vibe? Padded styles that look like they belong on the ski slopes might be right up your alley. After all, streetwear goes hand in hand with athleisure and Gorpcore. Sporty gloves are the logical complement to thick puffer jackets and also generally look good in combination with casual garments such as oversized leather jackets.

The Hearty

Fuzzy mittens have that childlike charm and go really well with playful outfits. Versions in knit or teddy fleece scream cottage-core cosiness, while those in faux-fur are the perfect complement to preppy clothes. Cue: winter holidays in St. Moritz.
