Queen Elizabeth never goes out without her gloves, what is the reason?
At any event, Queen Elizabeth II always looks flawless from head to toe. Perhaps not many agree with her color choices, but even the smallest accessory that she wears is taken care of in detail. And if we had to think of a characteristic accessory, those are her gloves.
Why does the queen always wear gloves?
Gloves are already an icon in Queen Elizabeth's dress. Cornelia James is the brand in charge of making the queen's gloves for more than 70 years.
“The queen wears gloves because they have always been part of her style. [...] The image we have in mind of the queen is waving her gloved hand, ”Genevieve James, creative director of Cornelia James, explained to GoodHousekeeping.
The queen never wears leather or synthetic gloves, she prefers pure cotton with some suede. Her sleeves always end under her coat, without leaving her arms exposed. Colors vary in shades of white, black, or ivory.
According to her signature, the gloves they make for the queen have a particular style and are also practical: "It is necessary (that they be practical) because if you are the queen, you are shaking hands a lot."
In addition to her gloves being part of her style, she also uses them to protect her hands. According to Reader's Digest, Genevieve James also said that the queen wears the gloves to protect her hands from dirt and germs, as she is shaking hands all day.
