Gloves lycra 37cm black

The black 37 cm lycra gloves are long finger gloves in solid black with a soft sheen, extending from the fingertips to just below the elbow. They look best worn with a sleeveless dress or a narrow-strapped top, so that the black fabric creates a continuous line from your hand to your forearm. They are designed for women and are perfect for a flapper look at a 1920s party or with a Pete costume for Sinterklaas.

How far do the black lycra gloves reach?

• Each finger is separately shaped, with fine seams along the sides of the fingers.
• The composition is 98% polyester and 2% elastane.
• The washing instructions are hand wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.

Long gloves in the flapper era

In the 1920s, long evening gloves were part of the flapper style, when dresses were sleeveless and straight-cut, leaving the arms visible. A glove extending below the elbow completed the bare arm and gave the outfit a polished, evening look. With a Pete costume, the purpose is different: finger gloves ensure that the hands match the costume and do not look detached from the rest.

How to create a complete outfit around the lycra gloves

For a flapper look, pair the long black gloves with a fringed dress, a long pearl necklace and a headband with a feather. A feather boa over the shoulders complements this well, as the gloves cover the forearms and the boa covers the shoulders. With a Pete costume, combine the finger gloves with a beret and a collar, so that the costume is complete from head to hand.

Order the black 37 cm lycra gloves and your flapper dress or Pete costume will extend all the way to your fingertips.
