Women's Gloves & Mittens: Shop by Style, Detail & Fit

Gloves are one of the few accessories you wear for hours at a time, so fit and material matter as much as looks. Whether you need driving gloves, touchscreen-friendly knits, or serious winter mittens, start with how you will actually use them.

Leather gloves — the dressiest option — mold to your hands and last for years with occasional conditioning. Knit gloves are the everyday choice; look for touchscreen-compatible fingertips if you live on your phone. Mittens are warmer than gloves by design, since fingers share heat — the pick for truly cold days. Driving gloves add grip and a classic motoring look, while opera-length gloves turn evening wear into an event.

Getting the Fit Right

Measure around your knuckles, excluding the thumb, and match the maker's size chart — glove sizing varies by brand. Leather should feel snug at first; it stretches. Cuffs matter too: a gauntlet cuff seals out drafts, while a short cuff slips neatly under coat sleeves.

Warmth Without Bulk

For real cold, look for insulated linings — fleece, Thinsulate, or cashmere blends — and wind-resistant shells. Waterproof membranes earn their keep in wet climates. Use the search buttons above to compare materials and prices on eBay and Amazon.
