On My Radar
The Row: Spring Gloves
These are The Row SS23 collection images. I paused when I noted how many looks have gloves. Not sure I’d wear white, but you never know.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

I have been waiting for gloves to come back! It’s only been like 70 years! The pluses(besides looking elegant): protect hands from the sun, hide my aging hands, feels more sanitary. The negatives: Impeding touch and keeping track them without losing them.
The Row never disappoints! I get such a feeling about a woman who wears the clothes: she is interesting, calm, confident and self knowing.
Like a neat pair of sunglasses, gloves make everyone look more polished, more refined, and more intelligent. Where I live, gloves come out early October and stay on my hands until warm weather (April/May), but why not Spring – they make so much sense. Gloves make a thoughtful and personal gift for moms, daughters, and sisters (especially when they come in a beautiful box from Cornelia James). If a bride is wearing strapless gown, I think long tulle gloves are fabulous!
It stands to reason that gloves would make a comeback after a pandemic!
I like Paula’s comparison to sunglasses, along with the gloves in the upper-left image here. Perhaps I can find some lighter-colored gloves this fall, as kidskin or another Napa leather could wear nicely on both a fall afternoon and a chilly spring day.
The gloves really are beautiful. Not exactly sure, but I think I see a sheer footless tight under the dress in the bottom photo? Lovely, minimal accessorizing.
