Weekly Want: Fingerless Gloves

I really want fingerless gloves and don't try to talk me out of it.

I know some are kind of more fashion-y than functional, but they still warm the hands!

And the way the weather is right now where I am in NYC they are perfect -- just enough coverage but let will my fingers breathe and I'm able to grab things out of my bag more easily.

I can always layer them when it gets colder.

The Diamond Cuff Glove ($28) from Free People are my favorite ones. They come in black and heather grey.

But I also love Tarnish Chunky Cable Knit Fingerless Gloves ($18) from Nordstrom because they go up the arm more and I have a 3/4 sleeve coat that would look cute with these.

Do you have a pair of fingerless gloves? What do you think of them?

As someone old enough to have lived through the fashion nightmare they called the 80's once - I'd have to pass because the vision of Madonna's Virgin Tour is causing a few flashbacks that I would prefer to not relive - LOL!

Hahah MomIWant...I'm there with you. I even had a homemade Michael Jackson glove!!! Oh the 80s. I do dislike most of the things from that time, but I am loving these gloves. At least they aren't lace or neon, right? Hee hee.

Those are super cute! --- It's never cold like that here in Florida, but when I was living in Pennsylvania, it was DEF cold enough there! --- I had about 12 pairs of various gloves, including fingerless arm warmer ones, they were my favorite!

How cute are these?! --->

I was thinking of "smokers gloves" as we called them in high school (where the mitten flap is buttoned up or left down) but these are actually really cute.

i love them - they are very functional actually! they're good for driving, and dealing with the kids' noses, etc in cold weather :)

i love the ones at http://www.threddies.com - they have the best basic styles at really reasonable prices. just ordered these convertible gloves (w/ a mitten flap - more function!) - http://www.threddies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=140_141&products_id=454

I have one pair of convertible mittens I made a couple of years ago and I'm working on a pair of fingerless gloves right now. I love them. It helps so much when you have kids you need to buckle in carseats or zip coats for. Here's the pattern I'm working on.
