DSquared2 Fall 2012

Oh. My. Gosh.
I think I'm going to die
if I don't get my hands
(no pun intended) on some
uber long and dramatic gloves.

Seriously.
Gloves are one of the most
underrated accessories out there.
Everyone thinks you have to be
a bride to wear them;
that you have to wear them
only on fancy occasions

--which really bugs me,
because I can't believe
how much they give
polish to just
an everyday outfit.

For crying out loud,
they're like stockings for your arms.
...And no one said you couldn't
wear tights everyday.

So think of it this way...
wearing gloves are for
all practical purposes:
to shield yourself from
the environmental elements
...and looking good while doing it ;)

They're remarkably versatile, too.
You can go all-out glamour
like the first chick.
Or understatedly chic and sophisticated
à la the second one.

Just pop some oversized sunnies on
and viola, you're
AUDREY HEPBURN.



Inspired much?
Good.
Now go get those gloves.
