Glove Etiquette!
Years and years ago, every lady knew the "complex rules" to follow for proper glove etiquette! We've simplified things and listed a few simple guidelines so all ladies will be comfortable and confident when wearing gloves in the new millenium!
For very formal evening events, the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove!
For daytime garden parties or luncheons, short (wrist length) gloves may be worn with sleeveless or short sleeve dresses.
When wearing longer sleeve dresses or suit jackets, the glove should meet the bottom of the sleeve.

Wear gloves when you go shopping, visiting, driving and for outdoor festivities such as garden parties, receptions and luncheons. Wear gloves in a place of worship.
