I’ve been longing for the days when ladies went everywhere with gloves. What a practical idea that was! The heat of summer not withstanding...Combined with the fact that personal hygiene was better overall pre-1960’s, I imagine colds and flu of various sorts were not as prevalent in those days. Wonder if there is any statistical data out there to check.
I’ve always been a bit of a trendsetter, maybe I’ll see if I can bring it back. ;)
I have a stack of gloves that were my grandmothers. Embroidered ones, plain ones, leather ones. Lovely habit that was. It also kept the back of their hands looking young since they also functioned as sunscreen.
