Unlike gloves designed for skiers, snowboarders or even off-season runners, the gloves on this list emphasize style over function. They do, of course, keep you warm. That's the whole point.

Unequipped with bells and whistles like reflective striping, cinched cuffs or artificial grip, options here favor leather, woolen or suede construction, save for the occasional polyester sherpa or nylon weave.
When the temperatures drop below freezing, it matters what you wear. And with no part of your body is this truer than your hands: They're often first to succumb to sub-zero temperatures.

So, get yourself a pair — ones equipped with tech-friendly fingertips included.
