Gloves
What is the point of gloves? Nobody wears them apart from Her Majesty, old ladies and frozen fingers in the cold winter months.
The irony is that is a pair of well-chosen gloves can round off an outfit beautifully and turn a smart look into something nearing perfection.
What do you do if you are off to a meeting be-suited and chic and the temperature falls to sub zero? Don a pair of gaudy mittens knitted by granny? Shove your frozen digits into muffly sheepskin? Resort to your ski gloves because they are the only gloves you own? Or, most likely, dig out your faithful navy or black leather gloves that are as warm as a condom and as stylish as surgical rubber stabbing a gall stone. Leather is absolutely fine, but all the more beautiful when worn in fabulous colours that complement what you are wearing.
Evening gloves are favoured by those who think they add a touch of class to their ball gown. In truth, the opposite applies, unless of course you are off to the palace, where the dress code is White Tie.
A perfect example of when gloves are not needed.
Trinny's outfit is smart already, but becomes very smart indeed with the addition of striking orange gloves.
