Karl Lagerfeld was not only famous for his daring designs, but also his trademark look, which consisted of a powdered, low ponytail, dark sunglasses, high-collared Hilditch & Key shirts, fingerless gloves, loads of rings, and an always at-hand Japanese fan.
Karl Lagerfeld’s personal sense of style was definitely reflected on Chanel’s runways. Throughout his 36 years as its creative director, one Chanel Accessory appeared more often than others: gloves. Though Lagerfeld primarily wore a fingerless black leather pair with stud detailing, he designed a variety of styles for the house. Over the years, Chanel Gloves have been offered in a range of finger lengths, colors, materials, and embellishments.
Looking for some that closely match Lagerfeld’s signature pair? Choose Chanel Gloves that hit just at the knuckles and are embellished with chains or pearls.
Looking for a pair that will dress up any coat? Choose Chanel Leather Gloves, which are color blocked so the ‘CC’ logo stands out.
Looking for a classic pair? Choose Chanel Tweed Gloves. Made of Coco’s favorite material, which the house has been using since 1923, they will always be in style.
