Style at hand: new gloves
Jamming my hands into my coat pockets last evening, I thought, "I wish I'd bought some interesting gloves." Mine are safe black cashmere; time for a glove makeover.Classic calf will do, but I'd prefer a dashing pair, like the Acne Jeans purple knit and kid long Dallas Gloves, $95 from eLuxury.
Too heavy for your climate? Also at eLuxury, Carolina Amato peacock driving gloves, $149.
But I live in the second-coldest country in the world, so these papaya shearling gloves, on sale now for only $58 from J. Crew, would be a toasty treat.
I still need
black, but they don't have to be dull. The leather collection privé gloves with zippers from yoox are $178 (size medium only) would sharpen the simplest jacket. 
For casual wear, I'd be happy to wear these hand-knit Fair Isle gloves from Thistle & Broom, £30.

And I'd definitely grab those sumptuously-coloured shearling ones you've found. Mmmmm.
You found some lovely examples that have me praying for rain.
English ladies have a habit of wearing brightly coloured leather gloves but I can't get on with them. They seem to look like rubber washing-up gloves when I try them on. So I stick to black, brown and my favourites, tan pin pricked leather.
Gloves, like hats, can become quite a habit I've found.
Gloves are, as you say, a necessity in this nasty climate, but no need to wear a pair that will have you crying for a week if you drop one half under your car and don't notice (as I manage to do at least once a season...)
materfamilias: I've seen some beautiful glove patterns; begger's gloves in cashmere, mmmm.
Greying Pixie: Resale store soften have a trove of good gloves, people who don't wear them get rid of them.
I once tried a pair of gloves from the Lands End mail order - they were so badly cut, they made my hands look like a bunch of bananas!
Deja Pseu - I can't find a way of posting on your site, but just want to tell you that I'm now tying my Hermes's as per your last suggestion, twice around the neck, and really love it, as does my daughter. Such a simple tie, why hadn't I thought of it before?
Leather gloves plus an Hermes scarf? It goes without saying!
I couldn't post on Pseu's blog for awhile either but she has recently changed her formatting (back to the original) and I can again- so hope it's available to you, too.
karen: I would love these, lucky you!
