As the fashion trend towards aristocratic style returns, accessories associated with the regal look of royalty are once again being noticed. These are the crown, lace fan, and gloves. Suddenly, the Vietnamese fashion village remembered the lavish origins of this accessory. And the glove appears more and more with the performance outfits of the stars.
Gloves and accessories are both fashionable and practical
Gloves were born as an accessory to protect hands in cold weather in ancient times. It was not until the Middle Ages that gloves became a symbol of majesty and wealth. They are made with intricately woven lace or expensive silk imported from Asia.
By the 16th century, the glove became a symbol of royal power. Queen Elizabeth I used to have many designs encrusted with real gems, while the French royal family used perfumed stockings.

Evening gloves that exceed the elbows became popular in the 17th century. They were worn with afternoon tea or when going to the opera, hence the name opera gloves. At this time, there were also leather gloves to help protect against the sun during the day, a precursor to today’s Vietnamese women’s inseparable accessories.
In the golden age of Hollywood, gloves were always accompanied by formal evening dresses. In the 1980s, open-toed lace gloves were a favorite wedding dress because it made it easier for the bride to wear the ring on the big day.
