Well, winter had mercifully delayed its arrival for a few weeks now. Sadly, that wintry moratorium has arrived to an abrupt end. So, given that harsh reality, a gentleman needs to equip himself with the necessary gear to maintain warmth and comfort when he ventures outdoors. Once the head and shoulders area has been sufficiently insulated, a guy must then focus his attention to his hands. Seriously, you don’t really plan on wielding a snow shovel or gripping an icy cold steering wheel with bare hands do you? I didn’t think so. Check out the best of this season’s stylish wool knit gloves that will protect your fingers from a gangrenous future – you’re welcome.
OK, let’s handle a bit of necessary business from the beginning. Winter gloves can be mundane and boring. The solution: Add some pattern, add some color. And the best at seamlessly marrying both elements? Paul Smith.
