And for hiding those hands, yeah, we know they are one of the first signs of going down that worrisome road of aging, but we suggest going for a shorter glove, a sheer glove or something with optical interest via embroidery, contrasting panels or a print. Or what about no gloves at all for a look that says ‘I’m here & I’ve got nothing to hide!’
