Wearing Opera Gloves
A few practical styling notes for gloves, sleeves and an evening outfit.
By The Atelier · Updated
Gloves change the balance of an outfit around the hands and arms. Start with your dress or jacket sleeves, then consider how much space you want between a sleeve and the top of the glove.
Keep the outfit simple
A printed glove can be the main detail beside a plain dress. With a patterned dress, compare the colours together rather than assuming that two prints need to match. Try the full outfit, including jewellery, before the event.
Plan for the evening
Think about where you will put the gloves when you remove them for a meal or another activity. Keep them away from sharp jewellery and loose items in a bag that might catch the fabric.
Fit and care
Use the size information on the particular product page. There is no universal fit chart for every glove in the collection. Follow the care label after wearing.
