One of the most exciting things about the holiday season is that it’s finally cold enough to layer on your coziest cashmere sweaters, puffiest coats, and go-to lug sole boots and pair them with your dreamy new shoulder bag. Equally important to your warmest winter coats are the best women’s leather gloves that ensure your fingers stay dry and toasty. Whether you have a budget of under $50 or want to splurge on a new pair for a holiday gift to treat yourself, your mom, or your girlfriend on your list, we’ve got you covered.

Your cold-weather style doesn’t have to be drab just because the weather is. There are many ways to elevate your winter style to brighten your look and spirits.

Leather gloves have the power to transform a look. The best part? Whether you’re on the hunt for something sleek and minimal to drive in, a pair to wear horseback riding, one that skews old Hollywood glamour, or perhaps a vampy pair that gives film noir vibes, there are countless options. According to Melissa Meister, founder of Seymoure Gloves, finding the right size and fit when glove shopping is hugely important. “Most people are unaware of their glove size and attribute their selection to their wardrobe, but gloves are an individual purchase and more aligned to your shoe size. We have included a fit guide and sizing tool to ensure that each client receives their perfect fit.” If you’re someone who often shies away from gloves because you wear a lot of rings and never feel like the fit is quite right, we urge you to give them another try. “The trick to wearing rings with gloves, especially an engagement ring, is to gently turn the ring upside down towards the underneath of your palm and then slide the glove on. This will keep the look of the glove intact, and it won’t poke through the material. The other option for costume rings is to wear them over your gloves. We often like to show this look on our social platforms to show different glove styling ideas,” said Meister.

What to Look for When Shopping for Leather Gloves

Color: Leather gloves can be a great conversation starter, and color can play a direct role in that. “Additionally, material and style are unique to what is needed for your lifestyle,” suggests Meister. Opting for neutral colors, like black and brown, are always a safe option as they will pair well with everything from a plaid sweater and cape-coat to head to toe stripes. However, going for a colorful glove with embellishments, cutouts, or a pattern is a fun way to let your personality shine through.

Softness: It’s important to look for leather gloves with softness and structure. The more you wear your leather gloves, the softer the leather will become. In addition, lined leather gloves often come insulated with cashmere shearling, silk, and wool. They can also come finished with soft leather embellishments, adding to their delicate structure. Precipitation can sometimes stiffen some leathers that’s why it’s important to look for the proper leather that doesn’t get affected by rain, sleet, snow, or hail. “All of Seymoure materials are ethically sourced, and you can’t go wrong with any of the options. To break it down, leather is a strong look. Seymoure has a washable leather that is perfect for city life, giving you the flexibility to wear your gloves as well as clean them by hand,” notes Meister.

Length: Whether you’re off to a black-tie holiday party or on your way to run errands in between meetings, there is nothing chicer than leather gloves. They come in short, mid-length, and long options. Leather gloves also come in fingerless iterations and mitten styles. Meister loves the versatility of Opera length gloves. “At Seymoure, we call an opera-length glove a “runway” glove, as we believe this style will always elevate your look and mood,” Meister says. “Even if you wear it with a white T-shirt, this glove adds timeless elegance.”

Price: Genuine leather doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Leather gloves for women come in a wide range of price points. From under $50 to well into the thousands for designer leather gloves. “Seymoure’s gloves are made by the finest craftsmen in Europe and in the US. Gloves are a timeless keepsake; storing them is important to make them last. We have an entire section on glove care in our Seymoure Stories. Overall, keeping them stored in a dry, cool area, inside a dust bag or box, will ensure you can wear our gloves for decades to come,” notes Meister.
