Gentry winter essentials: Gloves for Men

Aspinal of LondonFor all you gents out there looking for the perfect winter accessories, here are our picks for the most stylish gloves for men you'll find anywhere this season.  

Gloves have been around since at least 440BC. In fact, they’re even mentioned in Homer’s The Odyssey. So from Laertes walking around his garden to Thierry Henry whipping them out in late-august, chaps have always had a penchant for hand-warmers.

However, gloves for men are notoriously hard to get right. Some end up looking like Olympic cross-country skiers (too bulky, too garish), whilst others wind up doing a fair imitation of the Boston strangler (too tight leather gloves, offering rides to backpackers etc). But f you do manage to carry it off, a fine pair of gloves can offer a gent a truly stylish and debonair look. They give that decadent tone otherwise simply unachievable.

So fear not frozen fingered readers, Gentry have picked out the most stylish gloves for men that you’ll find this side of paradise. Welcome to winter!


A fine place to start is Dents. Since 1777, they've been making some of the finest leather ‘gents’ gloves. Using soft nappa leather, deerskin and lambskin, their gloves areRoberto Cavalli gloves well-made and reasonably priced for their fine quality. They also do a superb range of driving gloves, very much the style of choice for Winter 08.

Also making a reappearance this season is the gauntlet glove. Perfect with the bulky military coats so popular this year, the gauntlet glove adds a strict sense of protection against the elements. This deer-skin lined gauntlet glove from Fox Creek Leather are  probably the warmest pair you'll come across. Perfect for winter vacations.

It's also worth paying a visit to the consummate Aspinal of London, who do a truly superb range of cashmere and silk lined gloves with exquisite hand-stitched detail.

For something woolen, these beautiful Roberto Cavalli signature cuff knit gloves are just the thing.
