Gloves

In the olden days, white gloves were like custom koozies: marrying couples gave them out as party favors. While etiquette no longer dictates gloves for every guest, we’re excited that brides are donning them again. They’re effortlessly elegant and surprisingly versatile, with lengths and hues to suit every style.

WHAT’S WITH ALL THE BUTTONS? In the glove world, buttons are a unit of measurement used to measure the glove’s length. One button is similar to an inch, such that a 2-button (shortie) glove reaches to the wrist, an 8-button glove to the forearm, a 12-button glove to the elbow, and a 16-button (opera) glove reaches to mid-bicep.
