Choosing the right pair of womens’ leather gloves isn’t always easy because they’re (thankfully!) available in so many different style options! When you’re searching for the perfect pair for yourself or for someone special, be sure to consider the following tips:

Start with sizing!

Because fashion begins with comfort and feeling good in your own skin, it’s important to choose gloves that offer the right fit. Measuring the hand across the lower knuckles (leave out the thumb) will help you find the right size. If the measurement you come up with is:
6 inches or less – extra small or x-small.
6.5 inches is women’s small.
7 inches is a women’s medium glove.
7.5 inches is a women’s large size glove.
8 inches is an extra large or x-large women’s leather glove.

The Right Style!

Well, while style is important, the truth is, once you’ve figured out the right size – style is personal taste. Let’s start with material.

Womens gloves are available in cashmere, knit, fleece, stretch, leather, patent leather, fingerless, lace, silk, suede and other styles and materials. They are also designed with details such as stitching and venting as well as elastic, button, zipper or buckle wrist styles. Along with styles, there are a multitude of colors to choose from which will coordinate with your favorite winter outfits.

Quality Counts!

It’s as easy to find womens black leather driving gloves in North America as it is to find womens leather gloves in Italy. There may not be a difference in stitching quality but there may be a difference in the quality of the leather. The reason for Italy being able to boast a higher quality womens leather glove is because of the process in which they are created. Italians are known for their special attention to both shape and color and specific methods that are used to enhance color and create a better elasticity.

Pricing!

The great thing about womens gloves is the widely varied price range that allows women from all walks of life to own a fabulous pair of women’s leather gloves. With costs as low as well under $50 to well over the low to mid 100’s womens gloves make great gifts for oneself or for one’s favorite female friends and family.

When choosing your women’s leather gloves, size first, then style (or styles!) quality and finally price. Remember above all – while women’s gloves are a necessary item for winter warmth, they’re also a great opportunity to update the wardrobe and give an outfit style and sophistication. Bring attention to your leather gloves while carrying that little red purse. And they go great with cashmere sweaters for women. They make terrific holiday and birthday gifts as well as fabulous staples for every woman’s wardrobe.

Here are some tips and suggestions to help make your ladies leather gloves shopping experience an easier and more successful one:

The Right Fit

The most important factor in purchasing ladies leather gloves is fit. So how do you know what size glove you are?
Begin by measuring your hand.
Hold your hand up or lay it flat on the table and measure the widest part of your hand – across the four lower (base) knuckles – excluding the thumb.

Anything less than 6 inches will be an extra small sized glove.
6.5 inches is ladies size small. 7 inches is medium. 7.5 inches is ladies size large and 8 inches is an extra large glove size.

Style

Once you know the correct size, it all comes down to style and length.
Ladies leather gloves are available in lengths from wrist to above the elbow.
They’re also lined in several different materials which may include cashmere, silk, fur (both real and faux) and wool.

Some ladies leather gloves are elastic at the wrist for a snugger fit to keep the cold air out and some are designed with venting both at the wrist and throughout the glove to allow air in.

Also, be sure to look for details like open fingers, buttons, buckles and stitching, as well as a multitude of colors to match all of your winter outfits.

Quality

While North America now manufactures quality ladies leather gloves, Italy is more recognized for its renowned fine leather products, including of course, ladies leather gloves.

To ensure shape retention after they’ve been worn, Italian ladies leather gloves are hand stretched to create elasticity. They also undergo a special process that enhances the leather’s natural color.

Cost

Authentic Italian ladies leather gloves usually average somewhere between $50 and $100.
There are of course many lower priced ladies leather gloves to choose from depending on the type of leather and the manufacturer.

The bottom line when purchasing ladies leather gloves is to first be sure the size is right and from there, its basically a matter of personal taste and desired function.

If your gloves are more of a fashion accessory rather than a source of cold weather protection, it isn’t necessary to choose wool, cashmere or fur linings.

Shop around and check out the many styles and options available until you’re able to narrow the selection down to your desired look and feel.
