(From top to bottom)
Leather
Bloomingdale’s
A classic leather glove never goes out of style – especially when it’s updated with an incredibly soft lining and a great zipper. This deerskin pair from Bloomingdale’s has just the right mix of rugged and refined.
Menswear Patterns
Club Monaco
Level 1, North (N102)
The perfect complement to a basic black coat, houndstooth, herringbone and glen plaid patterns are once again a huge hit for winter wear. In addition, this Club Monaco glove features a leather palm and cashmere lining. Definitely one trend you need to ‘check’ out!
Fingerless
American Apparel
Level 1, North (N186)
For those of you who live for fashion over function, the fingerless glove trend is right up your alley! A secret known by Karl Lagerfeld for generations, the fingerless glove is the ultimate in rocker chic, and also makes texting in a snowstorm a breeze.
Buffalo Plaid
Columbia Sportswear Co.
Level 1, West (W112)
This is probably the only time you’ll actually want to raid Uncle Ned’s hunting-gear inspired closet for the must-have of the season – buffalo plaid. Usually only spotted in the deep, dark woods, buffalo plaid is taking it to the streets (and runways) this winter.
Function
Metropark
Level 1, North (N108)
The perfect remedy for the constant multi-tasker, this pair of Magic Touch gloves from Metropark features a special technology that allows you to adjust your iPod, laptop, PDA or any other touch screen device without taking your gloves off. Now, that’s ‘handy!’
