25 Incredible Glove Innovations

Designers have come up with many concepts that incorporate the human hand. There are gloves that record memories, play music, act as cell phones, detect heartbeats and that are flashlight extensions of the fingers.

We’ve also seen numerous practical ways to keep your hands warm, and with the winter approaching, now’s the time to check these out. There are sweaters with built-in mittens, hand warmers for couples and ways to keep from freezing while texting.

Then we have what would simply be called hand accessories, gloves worn purely for fashion. Beyonce’s single cyberpunk metal glove and the stunning wooden models in the front image by Ginta are prime examples.

Finally, when you have an overabundance of rubber gloves - make a wedding dress!
