If you hail from colder climes, then you likely can't text outside from October until March — at least, not without some protection or a stylus. Touchscreen gloves are a great way to keep using your phone outside, and function oftentimes trumps fashion in that market. But we've found some stellar style options that'll stand out and make your hands feel like they won the lottery.
If you're more into function than form, then check out our roundup of the best touchscreen gloves.
Men's
Burberry check wool and leather
These checkered wool gloves from Burberry are the perfect way to keep your hands warm, while remaining fashionable and still able to text. They're sort of like driving gloves, with their flared cuff and sheep leather palms. They're also lined with 100% cashmere, for the utmost in luxury.
They come in either charcoal or navy.
Barney's New York Tech-Smart suede gloves
These fine suede gloves from Barney's come in black, blue, and "open", which is a dark, rich brown (my favorite).
They have three top-stitched, raised seams on the back to add an accent and design to the 100% real leather suede. The insides are lined with soft and warm cashmere.
Gizelle Renee Theodore Gentlemen's Wooly Glove
If the leather or suede looks don't tickle your fancy, then check out these wool gloves by Gizelle Renee. They have a contrast leather trim, which stands out from the sandy colored wool and adds an accent of sophistication.
The bespoke velcro fastener adds a standout accent as well, and the wrist features elastic, so you can tighten it as much as you like and still feel like you can move your wrists around.
