Her mother and grandmother called them opera length. These days they're elbow length. But it all boils down to the fact that this fall, the item that everyone's looking for is a pair of gloves to wear with all the three quarter, bracelet length and even shorter sleeved capes, sweaters and coats that have hit the stores. Girlawhirl's checked around and – apart from the ones she borrowed from her grandmother's drawer – she's found some pretty spectacular modern versions of this all time classic… • Classic and elegant these soft black leather gloves are a good basic that she can dress up or down. She's sure her Grandmother would approve.

• But perhaps the coolest opera length gloves she's seen this season are these modern beauties done in sleek patent leather on the back with smooth leather on the palm and sides. And they're not just available in basic black, Girlawhirl can choose from brown, plum, green and dark grey. These are the ones that years from now her granddaughter might just beg her to borrow!
