Long satin gloves red

Long red satin gloves are finger gloves made of red satin that measure sixty centimetres and reach from the fingertips to above the elbow.

Wear them with a black dress or a shiny strapless top so that the red remains visible along the entire arm. Women choose them for a 1920s Charleston-style party or an evening in the cabaret atmosphere of the Moulin Rouge.

How these satin gloves are made

• The gloves are 60 cm long and reach above the elbow.
• The red is bright and even, from the fingertips to the top edge.
• Each finger is shaped separately and the top edge is finished straight, without a cuff or embellishment.
• The fabric consists of 98% polyester and 2% elastane.
• Wash them by hand and do not tumble dry. Do not bleach, iron or dry clean.

Why choose satin above the elbow for a 1920s look?

Long satin gloves are part of 1920s evening wear, when women wore gloves that covered almost the entire arm with a sleeveless dress. A short glove stops at the wrist, while these opera gloves create one continuous red line along the arm. You can see the same long line on the dancers in the Parisian cabaret world. If you are wearing an outfit with sleeves, most of the satin will be hidden underneath, so choose this length especially with a sleeveless or strapless dress.

Makeup and jewellery with red satin gloves

Red lipstick in the same shade as the satin carries the colour of your hands up to your face, and dark eye makeup makes the whole look evening-ready. Wear a bracelet or ring over the glove so that the jewellery continues to stand out against the red. For the Charleston, a long pearl necklace with a headband is suitable, while a black lace eye mask or glasses with a thin gold frame work for a cabaret look.

Order the long red satin gloves and complete your sleeveless party dress for an evening of dancing the Charleston.
