NOT since Michael Jackson wore his trademark single glove has this cold-weather accessory been so much at the forefront of trends. Gloves are the fashion stars of the new movie “Shopgirl,” based on a novella by Steve Martin. Gloves also happen to be the biggest accessories for this season – in off-beat colors, varying lengths and with detailing such as fur trim, embroidery and prints. No need to wait for a blizzard to wear them. Here’s how you can get you hands on (and into) the best ones.
