Long leather gloves are the best way to accessorize a cropped coat.  Not only are long gloves functional, they also add that touch of class to every outfit.  While black is the safe route for a color combo, try to go outside your comfort zone and opt for a leopard print or a bold, bright color like red or yellow.  I think the best part of having long gloves is removing them.  I feel as though I am an actress in a 1950’s gangster film.
