00:00 How To Wear Driving Gloves Introduction
Driving gloves are one of the most iconic accessories in menswear regularly worn during the Golden Age of Menswear and today by kings of cool like Steve McQueen, Ryan Gosling, and several iterations of the James Bond character.
But driving gloves are also notoriously difficult to wear stylishly because their niche functionality and utilitarian construction can be difficult to pull off without looking costumey.
01:41 The Origins & Functionality of Driving Gloves
Modern driving gloves evolved from driving gauntlets which were full-sized, flared leather gloves worn as a practical solution to the difficulties of early motoring.
As car technology improved, driving gauntlets became slimmed down, and more elegant driving gloves that excluded class and luxury and stylish gentlemen continued to wear them.
04:45 The easiest way to wear your driving gloves
Select driving gloves that complement your car, not your clothes because your outfits will change but your car exterior/interior probably won’t. Complementary or contrasting colors add pop and personality while still directly associating the gloves with your car.
07:38 Driving Gloves Styling Tips
In general, the more casual the look, the easier it is to wear driving gloves.
→ Full suits are usually easier to pair with day dress gloves
→ Driving gloves can be worn with more formal assembles but the key is to wear refined and sedate colors that will harmonize with the overall ensemble
→ Definitely avoid driving gloves with Formal Wear
→ Simpler to bring into an outfit with layers and some kind of outerwear
→ Overcoats, meanwhile, are better worn with dress or winter gloves
09:34 Finding the Right Driving Gloves
While all of the hallmarks of quality driving gloves can be found in our dedicated guide, we can quickly highlight three of the most important characteristics now:
→ Classic colors
→ Exceptional fit
→ Craftsmanship quality
We hope that you’ve enjoyed the video and that we’ve illustrated that while-driving gloves might be fairly niche accessories. You can definitely incorporate them into many Classic Style looks.
