I just found the badass sweater of the season. Oil-slick leather opera gloves connected to a slouchy black cotton sweater (although it looks like more of a high-end sweatshirt to me, but potay-to, potah-to) are an ingenious and avant-garde touch, one worthy of a stylin’ comic book villain or a downtown motorcycle chick. The best part is that the zipper-detailed gloves are fully detachable, so you can rock the gloves daily and wear the sweater once a week! Sport it plain or leave the gloves on unzipped to expose your hands and have full range of touch. The possibilities are endless – and so warm! For anyone who forgets to bring gloves on chilly days, wearing this cozy sweater is your answer.
Leave it to Maison Martin Margiela to dream up something so fierce yet smart. While it sounds like a pricey investment, think about it: you’re paying for long leather gloves that can be worn separately. On Net-a-Porter for $1,390.
Pair with: Elect dark drama and dress it up with Rick Owen‘s bold silk-blend skirt, with a bias cut to show just a flash of skin under all that ebony. At Barneys New York for $730.
A wonderful one-piece assemblage. If only the price was within a sensible range of our budge t I’d buy this gloved up sweater! Honestly!
