Best winter gloves for women to keep you warm and suit your style

Winter is harshest on the extremities.

While we coddle ourselves in all manner of fabulous coats, neglect toes, noses, ears and hands at your peril - leave them bare and you’ll soon find Jack Frost biting icily at them.

It’s the season to be covered from head to toe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your accessories. When it comes to gloves, there are thousands of styles to choose from, from cosy mittens to elegant faux leather that look pricier than they are.

In terms of sizing, you’re looking at pleasingly streamlined options: small, medium and large. If you, like us, can’t go ten minutes without checking something on your phone, look for options with special fingertips that allow you to scroll across your screen without the faff removing your hand protectors.

There’s not much more to say, aside from to reiterate the fact that the choices are endless. So we’ve taken the liberty of putting together an edit of the most stylish pairs of gloves available, for all budgets and tastes.

Give your winter wardrobe a helping hand, and shop the selection below.

Coach Studded leather gloves

There’s little more frustrating than having to wrench your gloves on and off when you need to check your travel route on the commute, or want to see the latest headlines on your phone. Coach’s rather smart pair of gloves makes phone-based tasks all the easier as they’re touchscreen compatible, so you can keep them firmly on. Finished with stud embellishments and brand detailing on the cuffs, they’re made from pure sheep hide, with the interior lining crafted from 100 per cent wool.
