Often forgotten, but 100 per cent essential. The humble winter glove is a cold weather essential for Melbourne’s chilly season. Here’s where to find the best in town. 

Cute and colourful gloves 

Melbourne’s laneway gem Kinki Gerlinki has everything you need to brighten up your winter outfit. Here you’ll find the cutest range of colourful gloves to add to your collection. Pick up vibrant pairs like the Squiggle gloves in navy and orange. Or go tri-colour route and try on the Noddy gloves for size. They're made from wool and have detachable finger tips for convenience.

2-in-1 gloves for extreme weather 

Be prepared for bone chilling days with the Core Glove from Up There Athletics. Whether you’re battling the elements on your walk from the station or rugging up for a winter jog, this is a must-have accessory. The hybrid design means you can wear them as regular gloves or as mittens. And they're made from touch-screen friendly fabric.

100% lambs wool gloves  

The folks at R.M. Williams sure know how to dress for Melbourne's rugged winter – right down to the gloves. We love the look of this cosy pair available at the Melbourne Central, 180 Collins Street or Emporium Melbourne stores. They’re super soft and come in lovely neutral tones to go with any outfit. Made from 100% lambs wool, these Australian made beauties will keep your mitts snuggly and warm all season long.

Melbourne-made fingerless gloves

Give your all-black look a pop of colour with these fingerless gloves from the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre SHOP! Made locally, these soft and cosy winter essentials are made from lambs wool and angora. And they're fingerless, meaning you can ride your bike or dig through your tote bag with ease.

Luxe silk-lined gloves

The iconic City Hatters store underneath Flinders Street Station is the spot for quality accessories and their gloves are no exception. Invest in a pair of silk-lined leather gloves for long-lasting luxury. They’re made of the smoothest, no-marking leather and feature little vents in the palms for extra comfort. Or do as the Scottish do and slip on a pair made with iconic Harris Tweed.
