How to determine the correct size of gloves?

Gloves are a very important wardrobe item that complements and transforms any look.

The cold climate, negatively affecting the skin of the hands, harms it. Gloves can protect it from frost and wind. Thanks to them, the skin will remain soft and smooth.

In addition to their protective function, gloves play an aesthetic role. They add elegance to the look.

Choosing gloves is necessary taking into account color, convenience, design, as well as the material from which they are made. Choosing the right size for your gloves is very important. They don't have to be big or too small. Gloves that are too tight to the hand will interfere with blood circulation, and in frosty weather they will not give your hands a feeling of warmth. Only a well-sized accessory that fits neatly on the hand, does not wrinkle and does not create folds, will look beautiful and will not cause discomfort when worn. Winter gloves need to be purchased a little over the required size. This way they will keep you warm.

How to determine the correct size of gloves?

In order for the gloves to perform their functions as well as possible, you just need to choose the right size. To do this, you need to measure the girth of the palm of the dominant hand, excluding the thumb.

The width of the palm should be measured over the widest area. You will need to make a fist, and then wrap a measuring tape around the hand over the knuckles. To determine the size, the result should be checked against the indications:

• - Palm circumference 15.2 cm - size XS, or 6 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 16.5 cm - size XS, or 6.5 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 17.8cm - size S, or 7 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 19cm - size S, or 7.5 Russian;
• - Palm girth 20.3 - size M, or 8 Russian;
• - Palm girth 21.6 cm - size M, or 8.5 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 22.9cm - size L, or 9 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 24cm - size L, or 9.5 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 25cm - XL size, or 10 Russian;
• - Palm girth 26cm - XL size, or 10.5 Russian;
• - Palm girth 27cm - XXL size, or 11 Russian;
• - Palm circumference 28cm - XXL size, or 11.5 Russian;

A little about men's gloves

Unlike women, for men, gloves are primarily not an accessory, but reliable protection from wind and cold.

It is very easy to choose gloves for the stronger sex. At the same time, they must be soft, elastic and fit flawlessly on the hand.

A correctly selected accessory will not hamper the movement of your fingers, but at the same time it will sit on your hand confidently. Before purchasing gloves, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer.

• - Palm circumference 20cm - size S;
• - Palm circumference 23cm - size M;
• - Palm circumference 25cm - size L;
• - Palm circumference 28cm - XL size.

Only properly selected gloves will add elegance and aesthetics to your look, protect you from the cold, and create comfort.

Even if you know exactly the size of the gloves you need, it is still better to try it on before purchasing this accessory. When you find a model that will suit you, remember its size and manufacturer. This will help you make the right choice when making a subsequent purchase.

In most cases, women's gloves are available in the retail network in the sizes shown in the table above. If you need gloves of smaller or larger sizes, then they will have to be made to order.

It should be remembered that when cutting gloves, different manufacturers use patterns of different sizes. So, Western brands rely on long fingers and a narrow palm.

Winter gloves should be chosen half a size larger so that they have an air gap inside them, which will protect from frost.

If, when buying gloves, you misunderstood the size a little, and the accessory now squeezes a little, you can try the next method. Take a damp cloth, put gloves in it, leave for several hours. After that, put gloves on your hands and let them dry.

When buying leather gloves, you need to pay attention to the material from which they are sewn. Lambskin gloves will be elastic and soft. They stretch well, so if you didn't guess a little with their size, over time they will still stretch in the shape of the hand. The disadvantage of this type of leather accessory is that with constant wear, they wear out very quickly.

Goatskin gloves do not stretch well, but they retain their shape perfectly for a long time.

How to wear gloves correctly

This nuance, which most women simply do not pay attention to, will keep the gloves in perfect condition for a long time.

Even if you managed to choose the right size of the accessory so that it always fits your hand perfectly and does not deform over time, you need to dress it correctly.

First, the cuff is wrapped. Then the glove is gently pulled over four fingers. Only then can you “put on” your thumb and adjust the cuff so that not a wrinkle remains on it.

When removing the glove, you need to gently pull it off each finger, and only then gently pull it off first from the fingers, and then from the hand.
