Whether it's silk or cotton, a glove is the only piece of clothing that will appear prominently on your hands. However, if you want your hands to be the only thing people notice wherever you go, you should consider wearing leather gloves for women. Not only are these designed to last for decades, but they also come in different styles such as those mentioned below.

Bridal Gauntlets: Probably the most elegant leather gloves for women are bridal gloves. As they are to be worn specially for your wedding (a once in a life time event); they are extremely beautiful. Elbow-length bridal ones are considered a combination of classic and modern. They are made of the finest Italian lambskin leather with silk and Italian cashmere lining. These have three white leather covered buttons at the wrist too.They are probably the costliest yet most luxurious gloves worn by women.

Opera Gloves: Italian opera leather gloves for women are quite traditional. They are perfect for attending an opera or any other formal occasion. They are made of the softest, finest Italian lambskin leather and styled in black with a very smooth appearance. These unlined leather pieces of clothing are un-hemmed for a perfect fit. They have a 16-button length, extending beyond the elbow and about halfway to the shoulder in the classic opera dress style.

Winter Gloves: These are made for one main purpose: keeping your hands as warm as possible. For the ultimate warmth, black Napa leather gloves are the perfect. Made from strong Napa leather, these articles of clothing have a rabbit fur lining for added warmth. There is plush long hair rabbit fur on them, which is warmer and thicker than sheared fur. They are also durable thanks to their strong sewing and construction.

Other Dress Gloves: Women's Italian cashmere lined leather dress gloves come with a beautiful contrast stitching. A backside vent and clever button give the perfect fit. They are lined with cashmere for warmth and comfort. The embroidered black calf version is another beautiful pair which women should consider. These Italian made gauntlets have embroidery detailing on the back of the Italian calfskin. Their elasticized wrists offer a perfect fit. They are available in classic black and camel color. Melody dress gloves are made from genuine lambskin leather and cashmere. They are cut for wrist coverage and have an excellent fit. A lining knit from plush, pure cashmere adds warmth. They come in black, copper and berry colors.
