A brief history 

The fingerless glove became a fashion statement in the 1980s, made iconic by celebrities such as Billy Idol and Madonna. 
               
The lace fingerless glove can however, be traced back as early as the 19th Century. Gloves were an essential item in a lady's wardrobe during this time and lace mitts could be paired with a woman's day, or evening dress. 

Although a little more revealing than a conventional glove, the fingerless style would have still been deemed respectable in social circles and the ideal accessory on a warm summer's day. Not as restrictive, the fingerless glove also provided greater freedom for movement and for those Victorian women wearing corsets, I'm sure this would've been welcomed!

The fingerless glove remains on-trend and a popular choice amongst celebrities. We've selected some of our favourite celebrity fingerless glove looks from recent years...

What's the purpose of fingerless gloves? 

Fingerless gloves have been wrongly dismissed as 'useless' for failing to fulfil their purpose; keeping your hands warm. This simply isn't true. Like other styles, the glove covers your pulse point as well as your palm and wrist. So even though your fingers are exposed, you can be assured that your hands will remain toasty. 

The clear advantage of the fingerless glove is its non-restrictive qualities. The mobility they provide makes them ideal for driving and cycling. It also cannot be denied that this style of glove makes quite the statement piece.
