dress gloves

Fancy hand coverings

Dress gloves are formal gloves worn as part of elegant attire rather than for warmth or protection.

Typically made of fine leather, silk, or satin, they complement evening wear, military dress uniforms, or ceremonial occasions: white dress gloves with a tuxedo.

The term distinguishes them from work gloves or winter gloves.
