They have been around for centuries; and while newer styles came and went, they have stood the test of time and remain an essential accessory to formal attire throughout the western world. From weddings and funerals to cocktail parties and beauty pageants, lace gloves have adorned women to epitomize elegance and refinement.
From 8 inches long, covering only the fingers and palm, to 29 inches long, extending as high up as the upper arm, and with anywhere between 2 to 21 buttons, lace gloves are available in an array of styles and sizes to match the attire. Traditionally, lace gloves were only available in white for a classic touch and black for elegance. Today however, bolder colors such as red various hues of pink, purple, blue, yellow, and green are a common sight. In addition, dual and multicolored lace gloves are also available. Besides the usual embroidered patterns, checks, dots, and stripes are also fairly common. The best thing about gloves is that anybody could own a pair. However, it goes without saying that a pair of Versace or Daniel Sorto lace gloves will carry a more extravagant price tag
