Leather Gloves That Are Cozy & Chic

This year, I'm taking a stand: No longer will I accept frozen fingers, cursing in the chilling winter wind as I try to text or look up directions. If you'd like to start the protest with me, take a look at these eight pairs of warm leather gloves that'll be sure to provide you with heat as you take that Instagram of freshly blanketed snow, unusually large icicles, or the snowman you've just built.

If anyone knows me well enough, he or she is well aware of my aversion to the cold. Yet, I still continue to live in the North East. But from November until the end of March, I practically go in hiding, and only come out during the most dire occasions. And when I do, it's Timbs on, parka wrapped up around me, chunky scarf and hat on deck, and my trusty leather gloves keeping me toasty.

It doesn't take a scientist to realize that your toes, fingers, ears, and nose are the first body parts to get cold. Basically because all of our blood flow is directed to our internal organs. Who says a heart is more important than my fingers?! I have people to text! Filters to choose!

With winter creeping at our feet, it's time to take a serious look into your glove game for the winter. Because as soon as those fingers get cold, you're basically screwed. And after all, gloves have become a trend on their own, going from just a necessity for warmth to a full-on unique accessory. Below, find faux leather winter gloves that are both insanely cozy and effortlessly chic.
