Gloves | Fashion accessory or not quite?

Actually, the title of the article is a bit misleading, because gloves are a universal accessory that finds application in fashion, sports, and work. Today's topic is going to be long, so make yourself comfortable on the couch and let's get started.
Many people believe that gloves have no place in the world of fashion and that wearing them is a sign of excessive pretentiousness. There are people who even secretly mock women who have decided to add this accessory to their outfit, but now we will prove to you that delicate gloves deserve respect and can turn even the most ordinary woman into a real queen. Why do we put shoes on our feet? Why do we put a hat on our head? The same goes for gloves! A point of view that is worth thinking about. Let's move on ... In addition to having a practical function, gloves successfully create an elegant and feminine appearance, but this depends on the material. With this accessory, everything depends on the material!
1. Classic gloves. This is a model that gives an unsurpassed sense of sophistication. The length is usually to the elbow and the material is velvet or leather. In more modern versions you can find various decorations on the surface, such as precious stones or small diamonds. Such gloves can become an accent of the outfit and, speaking of outfits, it should be known that a long evening dress will fit perfectly with classic gloves ... beauty and elegance!
2. Modern gloves. There are many types and varieties of this category. This is because recently designers have been paying great attention to this accessory and are constantly experimenting.
2.2 Mesh gloves. Although gloves made of mesh are not a novelty or a discovery, it is fair to say that their popularity has not diminished. Back in the 80s, they became a hit, which to this day plays a significant role in creating a rebellious or rocker style.
2.3 Satin gloves. Their history also has deep roots, i.e. we did not discover the "hot water" with this model. Already in the 19th century, such gloves became an obligatory element of every classic evening dress. They are a symbol of sophistication and nobility. The material was most often silk, but today, of course, the market is overcrowded with synthetic products that successfully imitate this precious material. Such gloves have a really strong impact due to the nature of satin. They reflect light in a unique way and act seductively. They are suitable for proms and other formal events. The length can be any. From products that cover only the wrist, to those that hide your entire hand.
2.3 Fingerless gloves . Fingerless gloves have been a total hit since I was a kid. They are a symbol of youth and a rebellious spirit. This innovative design comes after the working class in the 80s wanted to have more freedom of movement, but at the same time keep their hands and wrists protected from cold and accidental accidents. Today, fashion approves of this accessory and advises you to combine it with a leather jacket, jeans and metal jewelry. I love such models!
2.4 Lace gloves. If you want to emphasize the elegance of your hands, choose lace models. Such accessories would be great for any formal occasion.
2.5 Technological gloves. Actually, this expression sounds a bit strange to me. I would call them "the gloves of the 21st century". These are gloves that are specially designed to work with a phone or tablet. In other words, this model has additional conductive threads attached to the fingertips. This makes it easier to use the phone, because we all know that it is impossible to work with our smart devices through ordinary gloves.

Of course, the catwalk is not the only place you can find this accessory. Let's look at gloves as a utilitarian product.

Latex gloves. Although such models are sometimes part of high fashion, the purpose of latex gloves is mainly in medicine. They are a mandatory part of the clothing of every doctor or nurse and play an important role in a person's health. Such gloves provide the necessary protection against viruses and bacteria. In addition, they are comfortable and elastic and in no way restrict the movement of the fingers. Note! However, if you have an intolerance to latex, you can always choose nitrile gloves, which are a good alternative.
Gardening gloves. This is the next practical model that serves to protect the hands from punctures and other injuries. You can recognize this accessory by the reinforced layer sewn to the palms. Most often, such gloves are made of textile or synthetic material, but you may also be offered leather options.
Oven gloves.There are many requirements that such models must meet. First of all, the material must provide the necessary thermal insulation. Here you should choose silicone or canvas (a type of cotton fabric). Leather also has good protection, but in the kitchen it will often get wet and will also limit the movement of the fingers, and we all know that when we want to take the food out of the oven, free movement is very important, because this can cost you dinner and health in general.

Gloves are an indispensable part of many sports, such as football, boxing, skiing, etc. Let's see what they look like:

Boxing gloves. They are specially designed to protect both the wearer and their partner. The material of these products is foam or other synthetic material that provides cushioning of the blow. If you are a beginner boxer, then choose heavier gloves. Light models are more suitable for experienced athletes who can control the force of the blows.
Ski gloves . This is another sport for which gloves are a must. Winter gear is supposed to provide warmth and comfort, and this is especially true for gloves. When skiing or snowboarding, it is important that the gloves are designed so that their surface repels water. Polyurethane most often performs this protective function. The inside must also be precisely made. Down or synthetic fibers would provide the necessary warmth. The length of these models is greater than ordinary ones, because in winter sports it is important to cover the wrists in addition to the palms. The price of this accessory is higher, but you can see that this is completely justified.
Goalkeeper gloves. Here too, the criteria are high. First of all, gloves must be made of materials that are durable and resistant to wear. Also, these accessories must provide good grip on the soccer ball. Latex is the most commonly used building block here. The lining is also important because it must provide cushioning for perpendicular impacts. If the gloves do not have good cushioning, you can injure your wrists, so do not neglect these products but carefully study their structure. More or less the same rules apply to baseball gloves.

Golf gloves.As the article grows, my opinion that this accessory is not as boring as some people think is also strengthened. Golf gloves are proof of this. They should provide a good grip on the golf club, otherwise you risk throwing the club in an unknown direction and "shooting" an innocent person. With incorrectly selected accessories, the golf club would cause abrasions and injuries to the palms, so choose models that have an additional reinforced area installed. It probably all sounds complicated to you. I am definitely still making sense of all the information I collected from various sources.

Always choose gloves according to your needs and carefully read the label or information on the sites. It is important to approach such a purchase responsibly and in no case save money on this accessory, because sometimes cheap can cost you very much.
