There was an entire set of etiquette rules that governed the wearing of gloves.
FACT: Gloves exist to protect your hand from the elements, keep them warm in sub zero temps … but hardly anyone thinks of the rules of etiquette that governed a lady until fairly recently.īut did you know that there was a time when it was a FACT: that a lady a lady never takes off her gloves to shake hands. When you think of cold weather and gloves, an image of a practical cashmere or wool lined leather glove comes to mind. They would come on the screen with a pair of kid leather gloves, perfectly matched with their outfit in tint or perhaps they would be wearing a pair of opera gloves reaching above their elbows. If you are like me, you love to watch those films of yesteryear with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire – or Audrey Hepburn and then daydream about the elegance and sophisticated chic that they seemed to have so naturally. In today’s world filled with electrical gadgets & apps that do just about everything, online communication and about a zillion other things that make life seem so streamlined and fast, it’s easy to forget about the fashion etiquette niceties that once ruled a persons social life.
