We're going to talk about one of my absolute favourite fashion accessories: opera gloves! These are long, elegant gloves that extend all the way up to the wearer's elbows, and they're just so damn glam. First of all, can we just talk about how fab the name "opera gloves" is? Let’s be honest, it just sounds so fancy and sophisticated, like something you'd wear to a grand opera performance. And that's exactly what they were originally designed for, back in the 19th century. Women would wear them to opera and theatre performances as a way of keeping their arms warm while still looking incredibly chic. Slay queens. But these days, opera gloves aren't just for the opera. They can be worn for all sorts of occasions! Maybe you're attending a fancy cocktail party and you want to add a touch of elegance to your outfit. Or maybe you're just feeling extra fancy and want to wear them while doing a tescos shop- no judgement here! One of the things we love about opera gloves is how they can make even the simplest outfit look high key glamorous. Pair them with a little black dress and some killer heels, and you’re on your way to winning best dresses at the party. It wasn’t a competition, but you just made it one.
