Brown Leather Gloves for Women: Chocolate, Tobacco and Tan
Brown leather gloves look richer than black in daylight, and they are the natural partner to camel, cream and brown coats, which makes them the second pair most people buy. This edit gathers the best brown styles in our designer gloves range, from the Nour Hammour cashmere lined Wrislet suede in Chocolate to long Max Mara nappa.
Key facts

Which brown
Chocolate is the colour of the season and the most versatile. Tobacco and tan are warmer and look best with camel and cream. With a black coat, a dark brown glove looks more considered than black on black.
Glove lengths explained
Glove length is traditionally counted in buttons, where one button is roughly one inch measured from the base of the thumb.
| Length | Buttons | Where it ends | Wear it with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 2 | At the wrist | Every coat and jacket |
| Mid length | 4 to 6 | Mid forearm | Three quarter sleeves, cropped jackets |
| Elbow | 8 | Just below the elbow | Short sleeves, cape coats |
| Opera | 16 and above | Above the elbow | Sleeveless evening dresses |
How we chose
Every pair here is in stock at Coveti at the time of writing. We picked on the quality of the leather and yarn, the cut through the fingers and how well each glove works with the coats people actually wear, and we name the brand, material and colour of each so you can compare like for like.
Frequently asked questions
Do brown gloves go with a black coat?
Yes. Dark brown with black looks deliberate and softer than black on black.
What colour gloves go with a camel coat?
Chocolate, tobacco and tan. Black also works for contrast.
Is suede warmer than leather?
Not by itself; warmth comes from the lining. A cashmere lined suede glove is very warm.
How do I keep brown leather gloves looking good?
Condition smooth leather a few times a winter and brush suede after wear.
