We all remember the glamorous long satin gloves that Audrey Hepburn donned in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or the dainty white gloves that were prevalent fixtures in the closets of the etiquette-savvy, and of course the Michael Jackson look. Today the glove is back with a vengeance. With styles drawn and melded together from each of these vastly different aesthetics, we are left with the Super Glove. It's tough, ladylike, and glamorous; in other words, it's perfect. Whether its bows or pleats at the wrist, or a Holly Golightly glove in sleek leather, if the gloves fit, wear them with everything! Check out the SLIDESHOW to view my picks from inside the Hive.
