Gloves from the 1930's
In the 1930's, women and men regularly wore gloves, and they usually matched their gloves to their outfits...
...this image from 1935 shows several various lengths and popular styles from that time.
Gauntlet gloves were the rage...
the yellow ones, here to the right,
by Van Raalte, maker of women's lingerie
and accessories since the Victorian days...
in various patterns and colors.

There were gorgeous gloves worn by Native American Women, in the 1930's
like these from Plateau area craftsmen and/ or woman...
from Ornament website.
According to this site, Native American women expressed their creativity through glove making, especially during the 1930's and 40's. Some were worn by Native Women, while others were given as Rodeo prizes for non-Native people.
Men's gloves cost 98 cents in 1935
and a deb in the 1930's wouldn't be caught dead
without her mousquetaires...
