Colors! Lovely Lively Gloves In Fashion (Part I)

As fetishist or fashion enthusiast, we all know the value of a beautiful pair of black leather gloves simply because it is sexy, it can be matched with anything and reflects lights in an adorable and hypnotic way. Now, as splendid as it is, black is not the only star in the glove universe that we love and live in. For me and for most fetishists, colors take also a very important place.

Wearing colored gloves can sometimes be tricky. Most women who wear gloves choose black. A good pair of leather gloves can be really expensive so most women will pick black over color for practical reasons: black will match any of their outfit. Other women who have more budget for accessories will explore further for their second or third pair of gloves and maybe go for a color this time. But how exactly does a Lady match a beautiful pair of colored leather gloves with any of her outfit? There are four ways to do so. I'm going to detail each of them in two separate articles and give you some appropriate examples.

Let's talk about the easiest ways to accessorize gloves first. Women who want to create a stunning but more conservative look will walk this way. The idea is to match the colored gloves with an outfit that will be in the exact or different shade or tint of the same hue. Let's take a look at a few pictures, particularily the first three ones at the top of this post. Those Ladies have opted for what is called a monochromatic match for their gloves, wich means they are of the same hue as their outfit. The Lady in the pink suit chose gloves of a different tint (lighter color) to create a slight contrast. The second Lady in brown fur decided to go for harmony and picked gloves that match almost perfectly the color of her coat and belt. The third one goes at the opposite of the first and wanted to achieve higher contrast by putting on gloves of a different shade (darker color) than her cute little pink fur jacket and original dress. As said previously, all three selected colored pairs of gloves are of the same hue as what they have decided to wear for the occasion. So, uniformity is the keyword in these three looks.

The second way to wear colored leather gloves without too much clashes in hues is simply to use them in conjunction with the neutrality of black, grey or white. As in the fourth photo, a black outfit like the superb fur coat worn by this Lady will make the colored gloves, yellow in that case, look brighter. On the opposite side, the Lady in white fur shown on the sixth photo has the color of her well chosen long deep blue leather gloves look richer because of the immaculate pelt. And in between, we have silver grey fur to help put on the spotlight a splendid pair of lighter pink longer gloves. Almost any colored gloves could have been chosen to go with these coats but vivid hues like the ones shown in those photos are ideal for a look that kills.

Now, to end this acticle, lets take a last look at the Lady in black fur in the fourth photo. Although every detail is not visible, we can clearly identify three elements of much different hues than the yellow gloves: a turquoise necklace, a red halter dress and the shaft of a pair of tigh high light green patent leather or pvc boots. This kind of intriguing and yet quite magical complexity in color will be described in the next post so stay tuned, glove lovers!
