The best winter gloves are more than nice-to-haves, but must-haves. Shoving chilly hands into coat pockets might seem fine for a quick step outside. But beyond the 60-second mark, you’re teetering into a numb territory, which, in our book, is downright intolerable. That means shielding your hands with a choice pair—be it in leather, cashmere, shearling, or suede—is essential before leaving the house.
You likely already have a rotation of trusty winter coats on call for frosty days. But in case you’re not as primed with glove options, we’ve keyed on the season’s chicest takes to ensure all of your winter outfits sing. Plenty of cold days are ahead of us, making now the time to stock up on the classic wintertime accessory.
Consider a dressed-up version in leather or suede for nights spent out and about, in chocolatey brown, essential black, or toasty tawny. Or, choose a shade like red, blue, or oxblood for a playful pop. Shearling is a fresh seasonal staple, whether a fully covered mitten or a design mixed with leather. And for uninterrupted texting, opt for a style with touch screen-friendly tips, like Ralph Lauren’s wool-blend style or Ugg’s trimmed-leather version. Finally, of course, you’ll want ultra-warm versions for days spent slopeside, such as Perfect Moment’s insulated and waterproof technical twill or Moncler’s slick leather-trimmed mittens, to complete your après-ski look.
