Driving Gloves: How The Heck Do I Wear These Things?

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to selecting and wearing driving gloves as a classic menswear accessory. They explain the historical evolution of driving gloves, discuss why they’ve fallen out of favor, and offer practical styling advice for incorporating them into various outfits both inside and outside the car.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that driving gloves should be worn primarily while driving, and you can match them to your car’s interior with complementary or contrasting colors to create a cohesive look
• The Gazette team recommends starting with casual outfits when first trying driving gloves, and pairing them with jackets like bombers or motorcycle jackets rather than full formal suits
• The Gazette team emphasizes that quality matters significantly—proper fit (with correctly aligned knuckle holes), classic colors, and supple leather construction prevent driving gloves from looking costume-y or cheap
