Woolen gloves without fingers are a convenient and fashionable thing that will be useful to every woman. It is an ideal accessory for both women motorists and for those who have to work outside the office in the cold season, doing activities that require the mobility of their fingers. The name of gloves without fingers is mittens, from the French mitaines. Short women's woolen gloves without fingers have long been appreciated by those girls who lead an active lifestyle, and those who professionally engage in such sports, where it is necessary to keep the sports equipment by hand (as, for example, in cycling).
History of the mittens
Initially short gloves-mittens without fingers were respected among representatives of working professions, street vendors and other classes who had to work in the cold. But already at the end of the 18th century, the mittens were gradually used as a kind of tribute to fashion, a stylish accessory. Ladies began to wear them indoors, and the practical function of women's gloves without fingers came to naught - they were worn solely to confirm their adherence to fashion trends. In the 19th century, the fashion for high woolen gloves without fingers was so firmly entrenched that they began to be worn by both women and men. Today, mittens are predominantly a female accessory, details of which are carefully considered by designers: they glorify and sew all kinds of gloves in a variety of materials, combining textures and playing with color.
Varieties of female gloves without fingers
The choice of mittens is very rich today. Some models only slightly cover their fingers, others - almost completely hide the brush, covering not only the palm, but also some part of the forearm. There are three main types of female gloves without fingers:
- standard fingerless mitts;
- mittens, to which the mitt is fastened;
- mitts-pipes, where there is no separation either for fingers or for palm.
Also, the materials from which the women's finger gloves are made are also different. For example, if you choose a model made from alpaca or merino wool, even in spite of your open fingers, you will not freeze in it. Fine yarn provides greater mobility of the fingers and looks very neatly on the hand. But the models of thick camel hair are necessary only for the coldest weather.
What's in the trend today?
So, what kind of mitts designers recommend to wear to those who want to really be in a trend? First of all, this is, of course, the classic of the genre - black gloves without fingers. And yet only recently, seeing a person wearing such gloves, there was only one association - about his belonging to the biker movement. But now they are worn not only by rockers and bikers, but also by stylish young ladies.

It is the fashion house Chanel, whose leading designer is Lagerfeld , just recently introduced a new and amazing collection of women's gloves without fingers.
