Full-length gloves
The trend Long gloves are designers’ favorite feminine accessory for fall, hands down.
Our advice It feels a little strange to wear elbow-length gloves, but they look slimming and svelte on anyone’s arms. (If leather ones are too tight, opt instead for a long knit pair.) Try them outdoors with this season’s cropped-sleeve coats or—if the weather’s warm enough—with a sleeveless top. 
On Kate Kelly, advertising account executive Leather Nordstrom gloves, $148, at Nordstrom. Hype dress, $180, and leather yellow belt, $36, both at Una Mae’s Freak Boutique. Kenneth Jay Lane cherry necklace, $62, and Big Bang leaf earrings, $150, both at Active Endeavors.
Would she wear it? “I would wear them, but I don’t think they’re so practical. I don’t see myself going to the corner bar with them.”
