When you want to look extra glam for Zoom.

After being stuck inside for a year and, let’s face it, wearing the same three pairs of sweatpants every week, you need something new and exciting to revive your wardrobe. Evening gloves are gradually finding their way onto the runway and red carpets and we are here for it! While this trend isn’t super prominent, modernizing 1950s glam by adding evening gloves to an outfit is the perfect way to take a fashion risk—they’re bold, retro, and undeniably sophisticated. Plus, who wouldn’t want to casually channel Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”? Keep reading for some styling inspo!
Spring is finally here, so let your clothes reflect the warmer weather and much needed serotonin. Embrace the retro vibes and add sleek, colorful gloves to your outfit, as seen in the Fendi Spring 2021 Ready-to-Wear Collection and the MM6 Maison Margiela Fall 2021 Ready-to-Wear Collection.

Don’t be afraid to play around with texture and material, either—this trend is dramatic, so feel free to get adventurous. Leather gloves are the perfect way to bring an edge to a glam look, or if you’re feeling ~romantic,~ a delicate tulle statement piece is the way to go. Intricate floral detail will make the look even more unique and seasonally appropriate!
Sophisticated and unique, this under-the-radar trend is the solution to pretty much any fashion dilemma. Not only are evening gloves super versatile, they’re the perfect way to amp up any outfit. Just because your social life is taking a hit doesn’t mean your personal style has to, too!
