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.
