Opera Gloves are about to be that accessory.
Not only have they been popping up on the feeds of celebs like Dua Lipa, Sydney Sweeney, and Kylie Jenner and your fave fashion influencers (hello Symphani Soto rocking the feathers), but the trend has also made numerous appearances on the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2022 runways like Balenciaga, Christian Siriano, and Fendi. Now the style is trickling down to the masses: Searches for “evening gloves” are up 140% according to Google Trends.
It makes sense that the glamorous style is solidifying its presence in a time where maximalist dressing is trending and we’re all leaning into our inner main character. We might be used to seeing the elbow-length accessory reserved for red carpets or debutante balls fit for Bridgerton but nothing says “I’m the drama” like sporting opera gloves to the grocery store or on a night out dancing. Whether you wear them with track pants or a mini dress, these gloves will certainly play up any outfit.

Flocking to all of the major fashion capitals, show-goers kicked off Fashion Month in New York City — followed by Milan, London and Paris — enduring rain, hail and shine to glimpse the latest designer collection unveilings.
Over the last few years, the pandemic has changed the fashion industry forever, forcing brands to get creative with their showings and reevaluating the way we tap into trends. But while there’s plenty of innovation and radical improvements in the accessibility of fashion through digitalization, the return of classic street style brings us immeasurable joy.
After all, we may delight in perusing the new season runway looks, but nothing gets our hearts racing like some real-life outfit inspiration, courtesy of some of the most stylish people in the world.
Ahead, we round up our favourite street style moments from Fashion Month, as well as the tips and tricks we’re noting down for our own 2022 looks. From ingenious layering to the little details that make an ensemble pop — like daytime sequins and sky-high platforms — scroll on for the ultimate outfit inspiration for the upcoming year.
