Chanel 2016-2017 Fall/Winter campaign features lots of long, elaborate black leather gloves
Happened to glance through the Fall Fashion issue of inStyle magazine at the store last night and the ad that really caught my eye was Chanel's new ad campaign featuring lots of elaborate long leather gloves.
Although I'm sure they'll be out of my price range, I especially like the style which zips up the side.
Fortunately, a New York Model Management blog has posted the entire ad campaign here!

Kate Upton accepts People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in what else? Black leather!
So if you're Kate Upton and accepting People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" Award, how better to dress for the occasion than rocking a hot black leather outfit and stiletto pumps!
Although I saw a reference to it being a "leather pencil dress," I'm not so sure. The top, which is amazing, has a real lambskin-sheen to it while the skirt has more of a matte, print look to it. Of course, we may never know if it's dress or leather top and skirt because she's wearing a wide black leather belt - also very hot!
A quick search reveals that this is not the first time Ms. Upton has rocked a Leather Look, such as what's definitely a leather dress at some kind of GQ event.
And while we're at it, here are a few bonus looks at Ms. Upton rocking some great Leather Looks, including leather skirts, jackets, thigh-high boots, and long leather gloves!

Some nice long black leather gloves from a UK retailer
I was looking around online for some deals on long leather gloves and came across this 2013 article from UK retailer Black Co. with five different ways to pair long leather gloves. They range from the traditional pairing with a little black dress to a surprising "grown up biker" look.
These very nice gloves measure about 24.5" and will set you back about $172 at today's conversion rate.
I was also intrigued by this very cool style featuring a diagonal zipper. These measure 17" long.
I don't know about where you are, but it's definitely "long leather glove" weather where I am. Stay warm and in style!

Long leather gloves at Bloomingdale's
Although they're a little pricey at $198, these 12-button long leather gloves from Bloomingdale's are really appealing. Sadly, they're only currently available in brown and red.
However, if you're going to show these long gloves modeled, don't show them scrunched to the max!

Extreme thigh-high boots - "Kane" by Report Signature.
Under the category of "boot looks I'll never be able to pull off" come these very memorable "Kane" boots by Report Signature. First of all, they're not new, and in fact, I found a 2009 photo shoot on YouTube featuring them. However, I'm not sure if I've ever featured them on this blog before. And they're definitely blog-worthy!
The fact that these have straps at the top of the shafts that allow a belt to be attached remind me of vintage "Wild Pair" chap boots. For the record, I've tried those and found I'm not leggy enough to pull off the look. If I could pull this look off, I'm thinking it would be fun to debut them at a Halloween party paired with a catsuit for a very sexy Catwoman costume.
Below is the aforementioned photo shoot video. Oh, and the long black leather gloves are a VERY nice addition to an already incredible look!
Another nice, but short, video of these boots strutting!

Opera gloves - one of the Top 10 Trends at the 2014 Met Gala
I've long had a weakness for long, opera-length gloves, especially when they're black leather. Opera gloves were listed as one of the top 10 trends at the 2014 Met Gala. It goes without saying that Karlie Kloss' look is by far my favorite! They pair beautifully with her tapestry gown by Oscar de la Renta.

Late season deals on long leather gloves
This fan of long leather gloves has been thrilled to see their resurgence in the last few years. That said, the best time to get a deal on these gloves is now, near the end of the season. I'm also a fan of the shopping website polyvore.com, which is a great way to compare prices on items and is really good at listing sale prices.
These 12-button length long black leather gloves from Bloomingdale's are true "opera length." Originally $168.00, they're a deal at $117.60. Unfortunately, they're only available in a small size 7. I also found it interesting that for as long as the gloves are, the modeled photo shows them worn very scrunched. In fact, the gloves shown on the model look so much shorter, it makes me wonder if they're actually the same gloves!
These Charter Club long leather gloves by Macy's are a real deal at $63.99, regularly $128.00. They're an even better deal as Macy's often offers an extra 15% off! While not as long as the Bloomie's gloves above, these are a nice practical longer length for everyday wear. Currently available in all sizes. Even the item text is clever: You're in luxe. Sumptuous leather composes these long leather gloves that boast a decidedly femme fatale feel
These Saks black leather opera gloves are also a decent deal at $165.00, especially considering they're silk-lined and made in Italy. Sign up for Saks e-mail and get an extra 10% off. This basic-styled leather opera glove measures 19.5" long and is currently only available in a size 8.
Although a little pricier than I'd like, these stunning 23" long black leather opera gloves from Dents are available at Harrods.com for US $228.00. These gloves feature a mosquetaire button and loop opening at the wrist and stitching detail on the back of the palm. Currently available in sizes 6.5 - 8.

Michael Kors long leather gloves at Nordstrom
Having been a fan of Michael Kors' boots for awhile now, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they've ventured into long leather gloves.
Although I'm not sure I like the strap-and-buckle detail at the glove opening, the length is about perfect - past the elbow without going to the shoulder. While I'd opt for them in the more versatile black, the luggage color is an intriguing option.
These gloves are currently listed for $250 at Nordstrom.com. Given the price, I'd really like to see these in person before committing to them, but unfortunately, they've not available at my local store. However, I'm really enjoying the "long leather glove" trend!

Nordstrom Pre-Fall Sale is just around the corner!
One of the first signs of Fall, at least fashion-wise, is Nordstrom's anniversary (pre-fall) sale. Since I'm not a Nordstrom card holder, I can't check out the preview sale this week, but I'm looking forward to it next week.
Even though the weather is just now heating up where I live, it's nice to think about cooler Fall days a few months from now!
However, Nordstrom is already teasing me with ads in my browser for their Miss Wu collection. While the collection features several nice leather pieces, like leggings, skirts and dresses, I was intrigued by the models wearing long leather gloves nicely scrunched to the elbows.
I love the text which accompanies this above photo: Take your jacket off, but leave your protective-yet-pretty accessories on when you get inside. These sleek, leather gloves deserve a lot more play time than just during your commute.

Lanvin long black leather gloves make an impressive appearance on ABC's "Revenge"
Although I don't watch the ABC tv show "Revenge," I got a glimpse of
some impressive long black leather gloves during one of the previews for
an episode which just aired featuring a masquerade ball. As it turns out, the character played by Madeleine Stowe wears them very well and ABC has been good enough to post several great stills from the episode online. Although the fit was tight for my taste, I was curious who the designer was, and the website WornOnTV.net indicates they're Lanvin long lambskin gloves, priced at $1,083 at Net-a-Porter, or on clearance in green only for $528 at Neiman Marcus. I've also seen leather opera gloves in a very similar style by Carolina Amato for $200-$300.
As an added bonus, earlier in the show, another character, Ashley, wore a coral-colored leather dress by The Row, $3,390 at Bergdorf Goodman.

My Favorite Pages - ELLE - November 2012
It's not saying much when the "leather highlight" in ELLE consists of a series of fur ads that have a great vintage 1980s look to them.
A knee-length fur coat paired with a turtleneck, wide black leather belt, and nicely matching leather skirt makes for a very sophisticated, luxury look. All that's missing is the knee-high boots!
Bare shoulders and arms stay warm with this nice pairing of a fur stole and opera-length leather gloves.
Again, a very nice pairing of a fur stole withlong leather gloves. The jewelry (big bracelet and pinky ring) worn over the gloves is also a nice touch.
This black leather shirtdress from Michael Kors is anything but basic. The goldtone buttons on the shoulders as well as the optional goldtone belt accent it very nicely. This piece would look great worn in early fall with strappy sandals or later in the season with some sexy over-the-knee boots.
This Hollywood edition of ELLE featured this one photo of actress Susan Sarandon in a Valentino black leather trench coat. The coat appears to be floor length and I wish we could have seen more from this photo shoot.

My Favorite Pages - ELLE - September 2012
Great Gucci ad featuring some very nice tall black leather boots!
There's lots of leather to like on this page! It also shows how much of a trend black leather will be this fall fashion season.
And if black leather is too tough a look, both jackets and pants come in a range of beautiful colors.
These leather pants appear to have been styled after your favorite sweatpants...and just as comfortable!
The detail work on this Ralph Lauren leather jacket is stunning. And to me, "price on request" means it's going to be unaffordable for most people.
Leather tops, like this one from Banana Republic, appear to be a prominent trend this season, along with leather dresses.
The black leather trench coat and tall black leather boots are one of my absolute favorite fall / winter looks. The only thing missing is matching gloves!
The wide black leather belt and shiny gauntlet gloves make this outfit a little too "superhero" for me, but I do like the style of the gauntlet gloves.
Like the Gucci ad at the beginning of this post, this leather purse is almost upstaged by sexy long black leather gloves, leather pants, and tall boots!
