Gloves - this is an accessory, without which a woman simply can not do. They protect the handles from the cold, thereby protecting them from redness and flaking of the skin, which are inevitable in the cold and even sometimes in cold autumn winds. But besides this gloves can also become an incredibly stylish "highlight" of the image. No wonder they are called an accessory. Properly selected gloves are able to revitalize and make variety even in the simplest way. Just like, for example, stylish shoes or a scarf. That is why in the arsenal of each fair sex there must be several pairs of different gloves for every occasion of life, so that you can always bring a drop of original and feminine style into a simple image for walking with friends or, for example, with a dog. But in order for gloves to look perfect on you, you need to choose not only style , but the right size, so that they harmoniously and elegantly fit your handles, and not fetter your finger movements or even flew away, you just need to wave your hand a little harder. So let's take a closer look at how to determine the size of the gloves and pick up a pair that is perfect for you.
How to know the size of gloves?
To determine the size of gloves you will need a conventional measuring tape. First, slightly bend the brush, and then measure the palm rim, in the middle, near the base of the thumb. Do not include the thumb in the volume, only measure the palm of your hand.
The resulting figure is the volume of your palm in inches. To convert it to conventional sizes, see the glove size matching chart. It contains data for both men's and women's gloves, so that you can choose your own gloves for your husband or friend, guided by these dimensions. Also, in addition to palm gripes in centimeters and conventional size letters, there are figures in the table that indicate the volume of the palm in inches. Quite often European brands, especially French ones, can write the size in inches instead of all the intelligible "S" or "M". Therefore, it is best to know all the data on the volume of the palm, not just your size. By the way, if anything, in order to convert centimeters to inches, it is necessary to divide by 2.71 and, according to the mathematical rules, the value obtained in measuring in centimeters. Now you know how to correctly determine your glove size, but let's look at how to properly select them.
How to choose the size of gloves?
In fact, to know your size by the volume of the palm and looking at the data in the table is only half the battle. Thus, you will only know the exact data, but you still need to know how to choose the size of gloves depending on the material, season and so on.
First, if you buy demi-season leather gloves, then you can take a couple of half the size. In this case, the gloves will gracefully clasp your hand. But buying leather gloves for the winter, it will be better to choose a pair for half the size more, as this will help keep the heat, and in more spacious gloves your hands will not freeze.
Secondly, pay attention to the material. If you buy gloves from stretch material, then you can buy a little less in size, as in the end they will still stretch slightly during socks. But if the material is not stretching, that is, for example, the skin, it is advisable to select gloves of its own size.
And thirdly, if you buy gloves in a store, and do not sew to order, then simply measure pairs of different sizes to determine which one you feel most comfortable with. In fact, this is the most convenient way, as some calculations can deceive you, but your own feelings - never.
