It wasn't so long ago that a toasty pair of knit gloves satisfied just one purpose—they kept your fingers from freezing off. But lately, we're loving how this old-meets-new-world accessory is having a bit of a glamour renaissance (on the heels of decadent hats and elaborate costume jewels, we knew they weren't far behind).

Naturally, the gloves we love best go well beyond warmth. Wrapped up in the coziest alpaca (thanks Rachel Comey), accented with glossy patent quilting and cashmere ribbing (Yarnz), or just stretching all the way up to the elbow (Rag & Bone and Acne, to name a few), our top styles prove function can always be fashionable, too. Read on for more easy ways to change up your winter look—with so many gorgeous options, one is definitely not enough.
