Babies, it's cold outside. North Carolina was hit with a few inches of snow on Tuesday, as did parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Sure, today is a sunny and relatively warm Halloween day ,and trick-or-treaters are happily sauntering from one candy heaven to the next (Although a lot of businesses are using the recession as an excuse not to give kids candy, which is just heartless and wack. I mean, really, just go to a 99-cent store, buy $10 worth of candy, and you'll be straight — it ain't that deep!). Anyway, while we may get a blip of warmth here and there, for the most part, experts have been warning us that this is gonna be a brutal winter. That means a coat alone ain't gonna cut it — it's time to stock up on wool socks, hats, gloves, long johns, and all the extra reinforcements.
By now, most women have discovered the difference a pair of sheepskin-lined Ugg boots makes in surviving a harsh winter. So, now that you've got the answer to keeping your toes toasty, don't leave your fingers and knuckles out in the cold. It's not just about getting a pair of gloves — it's about the right pair of gloves. Unlined leather gloves won't do the trick because they won't insulate enough. Cashmere or woven gloves will keep your fingers warm, but they're not waterproof, so you can forget about wearing them on snowy days. And ski gloves just shouldn't be worn away from the slopes. So how do you find a pair of gloves that's stylish, sturdy, classic enough to match almost any winter get-up, and designed to handle inclement weather?
Well, check out Ugg Australia's Tall Cardy Gloves, which are made of 100% deargrain leather, lined with cashmere for extra warmth, and accented with a thick crocheted cuff that fully covers your wrists (a genius idea since, with shorter gloves, the cold air can sometimes sneak in underneath our coat sleeves). The three-button detail adds a playful little twist to the otherwise serious black-on-black design. The mix of textures and materials is innovative and exciting and, most importantly, they'll shelter your hands from the arctic chill.
If the glove fits, wear it.
