Gloves

GLOVES

In its sensual form, the glove extends the silhouette and frames the gesture. Wetlook fingerless gloves, long matte black gloves, fishnet or vinyl models, extra-long versions that reach above the elbow: this category brings together gloves designed as a finishing piece, to wear with an evening outfit, in lingerie or simply for the pleasure of the fabric. A graphic accent that changes a whole silhouette.

Gloves: the finishing touch that changes a whole silhouette

The glove is not just a functional accessory: worn long, in a striking fabric or with the fingers open, it becomes a piece of mise en scène in its own right. It extends the line of the arm, structures the gesture and adds a graphic layer to an evening, lingerie or play outfit. It is one of the simplest accessories to bring character to a silhouette.

In this category you will find fingerless gloves that leave the hands free, long gloves reaching the elbow or beyond, fabrics in wetlook, mesh, vinyl or matte black. Some models are designed for outfit play, others for more specific practices with a length that covers the entire forearm.

A glove does not need to overdo it: length, fabric and cut are enough to transform an outfit. The restraint of the choice is precisely what gives the gesture its intensity.

Which gloves should you choose?

Start with the length: fingerless or short gloves accompany an outfit without dominating it, long gloves up to the elbow stretch the line and set a strong presence, extra-long models cover almost the entire forearm and emphasise the gesture. The higher the glove reaches, the more weight it carries in the silhouette.

Then think about the fabric, in line with the outfit: wetlook for a shiny, close fit, mesh or fishnet for graphic transparency, vinyl for something more rigid, matte black for understated elegance. A zip closure on some models adds a detail that is both practical and decorative.

The main types of gloves

The catalogue can be read along two axes: length and fabric. Here are the main families to help you find your way.

Fingerless gloves

Fingerless gloves cover the hand up to the wrist and leave the fingers free. It is the most practical format for keeping full mobility while keeping the visual impact of a glove. Widely used in eveningwear and lingerie, it comes in most fetish fabrics.

Long gloves

More committed, long gloves reach the elbow or above. They stretch the silhouette, extend the arm and immediately add a dressed-up dimension to an outfit, even a minimalist one. This is the reference format for a sophisticated mise en scène.

Wetlook models

Shiny, close-fitting, often stretch, wetlook gloves are recognisable at a glance. They catch the light, emphasise the shape of the arm and pair with any wetlook, leather or latex outfit. A zip closure on some models makes them easier to put on.

Mesh or fishnet models

Mesh and fishnet play on transparency: the skin shows through the weave, which softens the effect and brings an almost-lingerie dimension to the glove. Often in long versions, these models pair particularly well with a coordinated lingerie set.

Vinyl or matte black models

Vinyl brings a shiny, almost graphic rigidity that emphasises the gesture even more. Matte black, on the other hand, goes for understated elegance, with no glare. Two opposite registers within the same dark fabric, chosen according to the aesthetic intent.

Fingerless or long gloves?

Fingerless gloves are easy to wear, keep the fingers free and stay discreet in motion. They complement an outfit without dominating it, and suit moments when you want full mobility — holding a glass, writing, playing. This is the most versatile option.

Long gloves, on the other hand, transform the silhouette. Their length catches the eye, extends the arm and sets a ceremonial, almost theatrical dimension. They take longer to put on but reward you with a stronger visual effect. Choose them when the moment is prepared and the gesture matters.

Tips for a first use

A few simple pointers to bring a glove into an outfit.

  • Fit to your hand: a glove should hug the hand without squeezing; measure your palm circumference if the size guide asks for it.
  • Put them on gently: roll the glove up the forearm rather than pulling sharply, especially for long mesh versions.
  • Coordinate with the outfit: a wetlook glove goes with a wetlook outfit, a mesh glove with a lingerie set; play on fabric coherence.
  • Mind your entrance and exit: the glove extends the gesture; coming into and out of a room with long gloves is prepared like a mise en scène.
  • Care cold: wetlook, mesh and fishnet wash in cold water on a delicate cycle, lay flat to dry.

Our selection of gloves

At Tentations we have put together a selection of gloves designed to dress the hand with character, from practical fingerless versions to long gloves that transform an outfit, with extra-long models for more specific uses.

You will find different fabrics — wetlook, mesh, vinyl, matte black — and different lengths, from the wrist to above the elbow, with cuts designed for a soft fit and easy to put on.

If you are starting out with this kind of accessory, a wetlook fingerless glove is the simplest way to try the effect, before moving on to long mesh gloves or to more rigid vinyl models.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose my glove size?

Measure the palm circumference above the thumb and, for long models, the arm length from the wrist to the target area. Compare with the size guide on the product page; if in doubt, take the larger size for easier wearing.

Fingerless or full gloves?

Fingerless gloves leave the fingers free and suit moments when you want full mobility; they are easy to wear indoors. Full gloves cover the whole hand and bring a more formal, more visually marked effect.

Do long gloves stay in place?

Most long gloves are made of stretch fabric (stretch wetlook, elastic mesh) and stay in place naturally. For more rigid versions, some models include a side zip closure that makes them easier to put on and keeps them in position.

Which fabric is best for a first purchase?

Wetlook is the most accessible fabric: stretchy, shiny, easy to slip on and compatible with many outfits. Mesh suits you if you want a lighter, more lingerie-like effect. Vinyl, more rigid, takes a little getting used to.

How do I care for fetish-fabric gloves?

Cold water wash on a delicate cycle, or by hand for the most fragile fabrics. Lay flat to dry, never in a tumble dryer. Store flat, away from heat and direct light, to preserve the fabric over time.

Can they be worn every day?

Wetlook or mesh fingerless gloves can easily be worn as a fashion accessory, for an outing or an evening. Long gloves stay more marked and mainly fit moments where you want a mise en scène, as a couple or for a themed evening.

Is delivery discreet?

Yes. Orders are prepared with discretion and shipped in neutral packaging, with no explicit indication of the contents on the outside.
