Long gloves dominated the Fall 2009 runways, but if you want to add an urban edge to your winter wardrobe, take a cue from Koi Suwannagate and Threeasfour, get creative and take the edge (or fingertips) off a staple accessory.

Slip your hands into a provocative pair of fingerless gloves by Rochas and add a hint of Victorian elegance to your winter wardrobe. Not only will these heirloom-inspired black silk crochet gloves do justice to your beautifully manicured nails, but they may be used all year round.
