Fingerless gloves had a short stint when I was in college. I am not sure if was an all out trend or not, considering I believe the reason it started was so college kids could smoke without lighting their fingers on fire.

These days smoking is out and fingerless gloves are in. Gone are the days of fingerless gloves being associated with homeless people, they are now chic and can pull together any mundane ensemble. Sure they won't keep you as warm as a pair of regular gloves will, but this is fashion people ... we don't do practical.

They do have some "practical" elements to them, for example: you can use your Blackberry with ease, you wear them indoors and peck away at your laptop, you can even give people wet willies (okay, that was gross but I was running out of "practical" things).

Designers like Marc Jacobs, Philip Lim, Generra, Dior, and The Breed are all on board for the fingerless glove trend. I am know I am on board, are you?
