Spring Gloves Rise High
To Meet Cropped Sleeves
Spring costumes, with shorter
length sleeves go hand in hand
with glove fashions especially
in soft, handsome leathers.
Smart yet practical, leather
gloves are seen this season in mut
ed, misty colors that match suits
and dresses or in sharp, spicy
tones to give flavor to an ensemble.
One favorite cool color is a pale
yellow shade that may become this
year's newest neutral. Other leath
er glove hues include delicate bone,
light green, and an understated
coral. Strong tones lean to bright
fuchsia, deep brown and a strong
red in smooth and sueded leathers.
As always, white leather gloves
are basic for the feminine ward
robe. Keyed to the softer, fluid look of
spring dresses, day time gloves
are decorated in a variety of ways
eyelet embroidery, diamond
shaped cutouts, self leather bows
and covered buttons. Tiny pearl
buttons adorn shorties as well as
four and six button gloves.
Leather shorties show off with
scalloped cuffs, while longer glov
es sometimes have horizontal shir
ring up the back. Decorations on
formal gloves are more elaborate
some of the 18 button lengths
boasting swirls of beadwork or
floral embroidery.
Tailored gloves harmonize with
the understated look of spring suits
and coats in a wide range of leath
ers including kid, lambskin, pig
skin and doesskin. Tailored and
casual gloves favor saddle-stitched
effects and corded seam cuffs
usually in contrasting dolors and
often in combinations of smooth
and suede.
A new pair of leather gloves can
smartly accent a classic costume
and help one good suit cover many
daytime occasions. Launder-leath-
er gloves wash easily in soap
