Winter coming..leather gloves yay or nay

bigpink

I see this morning on Sky news the presenter she was wearing her leather gloves(must be cold in edinburgh even on a sunny morning lol)

Id love to get a pink pair any round?Whats average price

lindtee

Yay from me. Debenhams often have leather gloves reduced, not sure they have pink ones though.

bigpink

Saw lovely medium shade pink ones a few times and would love a a pair

My auntie is the leather glove queen of the world! She has so many different pairs in all colours and sizes!

She buys hers in BT's, you could try M&S or pennys if you're on a budget. I would try vintage or charity shops as I like stuff that looks like it could tell a story! It would be cheap, and you could get lucky but you might only find a shoddy pair that is falling to pieces!

Yeah they seem to be popular with older ladies dont see many under 30 wearing them

I have seen a few young'ins wearing them last Winter. I tried on one of my mum's pairs and they are so warm and snuggly!

M&S had fab leather gloves in beautiful vibrant colours last year, hope they do the same this year, My blue ones were were commented on all winter.

Saw some in Penneys last week, but I was rushing by and didn't investigate too much. Didn't want to admit that it was time to buy leather gloves.

I love leather gloves, the only thing to really keep your hands warm in the winter. TK Maxx often have a good selection. I'm after a green pair this year.

ooh blue sounds good!!What you wear them with?

Saw in UK fashion mag M&S gloves but wonder will the stores here get a good range

M&S, TK max, and BT do great leather gloves. I have some really fantastic pairs in different colours and they really jazz up your winter coat.

Hvae you many colours

I have ones from Dunnes, they are rubbish, not warm at all. I'd be surprised if the penneys ones were any better.

Miaireland

Marks and Spencers do lovely ones normally in a large range of colours.

I got a pair in Debanhams last year, and another in Osais the year before. Definitely YAH!! So warm in the snow last year.....

bigpink

id love a long pair very glam

dudara

Right now I have two pairs of red, one pair of blue and one pair of pink.

I love leather in general, and leather gloves are so much more chic than woollen or thermals.

Penney's sell leather gloves - so that's a good place to start if you're on a budget.

I love my leather gloves!

I got a gorgeous grey pair in Topshop last year (for free :cool:) and I'm dying to wear them again!

Yeah, quite a lot. I get presents of them every year for christmas from parents in my pre-school. They know I like them and handbags!!!

I have black, black with designs on, red, dark green, navy, hot pink, purple, burn orange, tan, cream (my fav) Yellow ( look lovey but not sure if the are me) White (awful) Royal blue and my mum got me a fantastic pair of long black, really soft ones a few years ago that ate great with 3/4 sleeve coats.

Tk Maxx have green

Leather gloves look more elegant and are more versatile than any other material. They can also be incredibly sexy too. My good lady has the following:

1 x Black elbow length
1 x Red elbow length
1 x Black opera length
1 x Red opera length
1 x Black wrist length

I have a black pair that I "borrowed" off my mother, they make me look like a serial killer (and not in a good way) but they're your only man for driving in.
Coloured ones are nice though. So warm and waterproof and have actual grip, not like fabric gloves which turn opening a door into an amusing slapstick event

Ladies:

I have a gorgeous pair of vintage purple buttery leather gloves. Can't wait to wear em!

Madame Razz

LOVE leather gloves!! Have a couple of pairs; had a gorgeous mustard pair which I mislaid:mad::(

Think I saw pink leather gloves in TK Maxx recently so might be worth a look??

Must try TK maxx more but hate the one in Limerick

mustard sounds nice

do people think black leather gloves are very serial killer and harsh looking

Roarsbaby

Not necessarily serial killer - depends what you wear with them and if you're holding a gun complete with silencer or not! For elegance and usability they can't be beaten. Black works with most colours so if you're only buying/borrowing one pair that would be the most common choice IMO.

dlambirl

Yay for me!

I think they are nice - dunno if I would be brave enough to wear pink ones though!!

fillefatale

A couple of my friends have them (re: the question if young ones wear them). I bought some green ones in M&S but didn't try them on and they're too small lost the receipt too!

Accessorize do them as well/

bigpink

I saw a girl with a pink pair with a black winter coat and loved the colour

So you 'borrowed' them?

Marks and Spencer online doesn't deliver to the Republic of Ireland.

They do lovely ones, though. Was tempted last year but by the time I got around to buying them, there were only large sizes left (teeny, tiny hands- not even sure if the small will fit actually, must check that) in colours I didn't want. Wonder when they'll start getting them in over here; was in Marks and Spencer the other day and didn't see any.

Not Dunnes/Penneys prices but looks like classy stuff....

Also starts at 6 and a half size which is quite small...

Wow! Some truly gorgeous gloves on that site! Sadly, I don't think I could justify the price of a pair

Roarsbaby

If you really want them you'll find a way to treat yourself!!!

But if you're more self-controlled than I am TK Maxx, M&S are just a few places you get them cheaper.

IMO the ones in Dunnes and Penneys aren't great...

Yup, said above I'll be snapping up a pair of the lovely M&S ones when they're released here!

I've been treating myself too much lately, that's the problem!
