Long ,elbow,leather gloves,fashionable?
For Xmas,my wife got a pair of elbow length,unlined,black,leather gloves.
They seem quite a trendy,ladies accessory at the moment what with 3/4 sleeved jackets and tops fashion latley.
Whats your views?
My wife dress sense is very retro/vintage/60s style,kind off Jackie O/Audrey Hepburn.
Here is the gloves she got

Personally,I think they are very stylish and glam on those cold winter days but then I have always thought she dressed well.
Views?
I think they're pretty cool. I don't know if I'd describe them as elbow length. They're not really that long. I like the buttons on the second ones.
