At a certain (below freezing) point during the winter, the right cold-weather accessories become less of a topping-off moment, and more of an absolute necessity. Shoving chilly hands into coat pockets might seem fine for a quick step outside, but beyond the 180-second mark, you’re teetering into a numbing territory, which, in our book, is downright intolerable. That means shielding your hands with a choice pair of winter gloves—be it in leather, cashmere, or shearling—is pivotal before leaving the house.

By now, you should already own a staple rotation of winter coats, be it utilitarian puffers or scarf-neck styles, on call for frosty days. Your closet should also be prepped with a pair (or two, or three) of snow and winter boots, too. But in case you’re not up-to-date on the latest winter gloves, we’ve gathered the key styles for warm fingers all season long. Consider a dressed-up black leather option from Gucci, Burberry, or Banana Republic. Embrace a flair of whimsy with cozy mittens from Suzie Kondi or Madewell. Prefer a leather that makes a statement? There are brighter alternatives from Bottega Veneta, cast in woven burgundy, and a poppy red from Agnelle. Shearling is a fresh seasonal staple, whether a fully covered mitten or a design mixed with leather. And for uninterrupted texting, opt for a style with touchscreen compatibility. Ahead, the best winter gloves that are as functional as they are fashionable.

Classic Black Leather

No glove is more essential, and more elevated, than a ladylike option in black leather. From Gucci to Burberry, these sleek styles add a feminine flair thanks to their fitted, lined, and pared-back silhouettes.

Cashmere

The epitome of luxurious warmth, beautiful cashmere knit gloves never go out of style (and always make for a wonderful gift).

Cozy Knit Mittens

Handi-craft chic? Yes, please. This season, don’t sacrifice comfort for style, and vice-versa—there’s a reason mitts are the most popular children’s glove: they are the warmest. Indulge in a little nostalgia with a red pair from Suzie Kondi, neutrals from Toteme and Lisa Yang, or a sheepskin mitten from Madewell.

Shearling

We’re still obsessing over all things shearling, and no winter wardrobe should be without a suede and shearling-trimmed winter glove to combat cold temps and wind chills. Make an investment with Prada, or keep it casual with Ugg.

Touchscreen-Friendly

Whether you’re getting an early start while taking the train, or trying to capture the sunset through the screen, touchscreen-friendly gloves are a modern savior for cold hands.

Fingerless & Convertible

If you don’t like the feel of confined fingers or the option to free them, these are for you. Opt for Zara’s knitted wool pair of gloves, or Agnelle’s leather iteration.

Colored Leather

Embolden any look with a pair of colorful leather gloves, particularly a merlot pair—the color of the season. Opt for a striking red from Agnelle, or lean into green with Vince’s forest green leather gloves.

Elbow-Length

Embrace the drama of the elbow-length glove. But beyond the romance of the opera, this style is a great way to keep your entire arm warm with an additional layer.

Puffer

An insulated glove to keep your hands warm and compliment your puffer coat in extreme cold, of course. Find warm gloves from The North Face, Aritzia, and Lululemon in this cute-yet-practical category.

Snow & Ski

Perhaps the most practical winter glove is one built for the snow, with their windproof and water-resistant shells, durable leather trims, and enough insulation to keep your fingertips from freezing over on cold days—whether you’re mountainside skiing or snowboarding, or firing off snowballs with your kids from the backyard. Hestra, Fusalp, and Arc’Teryx make some of the best women’s ski gloves for active outdoor pursuits.
