Gloves black

Black gloves are a pair of short, plain black gloves that cover the hand just past the wrist. They are available for women and men, and they are especially useful for a Pete costume during the Sinterklaas celebration. They also work well with a full black costume look for Carnival or a themed party.

What does this pair of short black gloves look like?

• You get a pair, so a left and a right glove in the same design.
• The style is short: the cuff ends just above the wrist and disappears under a sleeve or cuff.
• The color is solid black, without any print, pattern, or colored accents.
• The cuff has a ribbed texture, so the edge fits neatly around the wrist.
• All five fingers are separate, so your fingers remain free from each other.

Black gloves at the Sinterklaas celebration

Black gloves go with a Pete costume because they conceal the transition between sleeve and hand: you no longer see a patch of bare skin between the costume and fingers. Costume wearers use the same principle for dark themes all year round, from a butler look to a sleek black stage outfit. During the Sinterklaas season, they are often ordered in pairs for a whole group of Petes, so that everyone looks the same. And because there is no theme on the gloves, you can simply reuse them after December.

This is how you complete your Pete look

Pull the gloves under the sleeve of your Pete costume so that the ribbed cuff does not stand out and the line continues. Combine them with a beret with a feather and a loose shirt with puff sleeves, and the look is instantly recognizable. If you go for a black Carnival outfit, keep the rest of your accessories dark too: a black hat or a black mask makes the whole look more cohesive than scattered bright colors. With a short style, your watch or bracelet remains visible, so it is better to take it off.

Order your black gloves as a pair and you have completed the final step of your costume look. Order before 11:59 p.m., and your package will be delivered tomorrow.
