I've been wondering about wearing a shorter version, but am afraid they may be too young a look for an over 60. the ones you posted look more sophisicated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-754002 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 04:15:48 +0000 stacylomman 754002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say YES, of course... since I did them for my Fall 2012 collection...<br /> <a href="http://www.stacylomman.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.stacylomman.com</a></p> <p>And I wear mine all the time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753866 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 23:59:41 +0000 siniestra 753866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the brown one more and i think it will go fab on a sleeveless peplum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753839 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:22:50 +0000 Mann 753839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow Lyrebirdgully. I LOVE the links and images. And you are absolutely right - wool arm warmers don't have to be warm and fuzzy if the rest of the outfit is not. Thanks so much - this was SUPER helpful and inspiring for me!!! Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753615 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:45:02 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 753615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mann! I love long leather gloves and woollen arm warmers, and have quite a few of each (though not fingerless leather ones like the ones you have found at Nordstrom -they are absolutely awesome!)<br /> You are going to feel cooler than cool in your on-trend leather arm-warmers.. as for wool ones, they don't have to give a "warm and fuzzy" vibe - it all depends what else you are wearing at the time. Here are some styling ideas - (the attached pic is Chanel 2011). I wear mine either at full length, or scrunched down when worn with longer sleeve lengths:<br /> <a href="http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2012/04/what-wendy-wore-stacy-lomman-vest-arm-warmers/" rel="nofollow">http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2.....m-warmers/</a><br /> <a href="http://stylefrizz.com/img/maison-martin-margiela-arm-warmers.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://stylefrizz.com/img/mais.....armers.jpg</a><br /> The rest are gloves, not armwarmers - but you get the idea.<br /> <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/on-the-street-giovanna-in-paris/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesartorialist.com.....-in-paris/</a></p> <p><a href="http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/photos/uncategorized/armerwarmer_marc.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://kingdomofstyle.typepad......r_marc.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.omiru.com/wp-content/images/MarcJacobs_021406.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.omiru.com/wp-conten.....021406.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452747269e2016302cff5a3970d-800wi" rel="nofollow">http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.....970d-800wi</a></p> <p><a href="http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452747269e2017c31f547d2970b-500wi" rel="nofollow">http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.....970b-500wi</a></p> <p><a href="http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452747269e2017ee421fe64970d-500wi" rel="nofollow">http://bootlovers.typepad.com/.....970d-500wi</a></p> <p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FaRpjNnM-F4/SpiPlLys39I/AAAAAAAABEo/khWPHZMfxj8/s400/Marc+Jacobs+pale+lpink+coat+hot+pink+gloves.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FaRp.....gloves.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jhGjJuMxe7U/SS8hi6DfkiI/AAAAAAAABQY/hrK2UOOibA4/s800/BurberryFW07.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jhGj.....ryFW07.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753236 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 19:46:58 +0000 Mann 753236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, guys!<br /> Kristin - I see your point, I think I would need to have the longer gloves over the fitted sleeves, but this might look really awkward, especially with any color contrast. the ones I linked to indeed might not be the most versatile in terms of their length.<br /> Janet, I've seen your WIW pictures with the adorable blue gloves! Maybe I'll look into short fingerless leather gloves instead or at first.<br /> Diana - oh, good point about pairing with wider sleeves, I did not think about it. I think this indeed might look the least costume-like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753144 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 17:17:59 +0000 Diana 753144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have leather ones but I do have some long handknit fingerless gloves. Personally, I think they look best with something with wider sleeves, like a cape or a poncho or something with batwing sleeves. I like them a lot with my floral capelet, for example, or my trapeze coat with wide 3/4 sleeves. I run warm though so for me the fingerless gloves are more of an outerwear thing. </p> <p>I also like them with sleeveless tops but that definitely could look slightly costumey. I don't care though, I still think it's cool.</p> <p>ETA:photos </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753136 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 17:03:08 +0000 Janet 753136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love fingerless gloves and have a pair I'm really enjoying so far, but they're short driving glove style:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---copying-mochis-inspiration" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nspiration</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fingerless-gloves-similar-to-my-wiw" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-to-my-wiw</a></p> <p>I really like the ones you've linked to, but I am not sure how to style them. I am being fairly conservative with my pairings so far even though I have a definite rock'n'roll edge to my style. </p> <p>I have a vintage pair of long fingerless opera gloves inherited from my mom and grandmother, so I might play around with them to see what works in terms of silhouette and sleeve length. I have a leather jacket with 3/4-ish length sleeves, and I think that might pair well with long gloves. I think I'd need to see combinations together before forming an opinion.</p> <p>ETA: I forgot to say, welcome! Good to have you here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753116 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 16:08:50 +0000 Kristin L 753116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... I don't think they'd look right with a 3/4 sleeve. Something about these scream that they shouldn't be covered up with a top IMO. Have you tried on a pair with a 3/4 sleeve top? I think it's the length of the gloves. Have you seen any that go about halfway up your forearm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-fingerless-leather-arm-warmerslong-gloves#post-753107 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 15:51:12 +0000 Mann 753107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first post :). I am wondering how versatile you ladies think long fingerless leather gloves/arm warmers would be in daily outfits. I'm going through a big style transition from quirky/cute/artsy (a la Anthropologie) to something much more clean, stark, modern and tougher (ok, tougher than frilly skirts and ruffly sheer blouses). I am also at a weight right now which pretty certainly will change in the next 3-6 months, so I don't want to invest in too many new clothing pieces, and wondering if I can make things more pleasing in my wardrobe by a pair or two of new shoes and accessories. Cue in the leather arm warmers. I am thinking about something like these:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-washed-leather-fingerless-gloves/3347551" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....es/3347551</a><br /> or<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/alexander-wang-long-fingerless-leather-gloves/3362101?origin=saveforlater" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/al.....veforlater</a></p> <p>Can you imagine these in an indoor setting (I live in the PNW), combined with 3/4 sleeve fitted top? Or do they scream costume to you? My arms and wrists are always cold, so I have been looking for arm warmers to get more use out of my 3/4 sleeve tops, but I was thinking that wool arm warmers take me further down the oh-so-fuzzy-and-soft road I want to turn back from. </p> <p>I'd be really grateful for your thoughts! </p>
