I recall women wearing dress gloves to go shopping.
Where'd you grow up - Beverly Hills?
Just kidding. I remember seeing that as a kid, but not very often.
The women in my family never wore gloves to go shopping, but they could 'put on the Ritz' when they dressed up for an evening out. Gloves, hats, accessories, heels, makeup, jewelry, perfume, etc. I used to marvel at the transformation.
