Yes or no to Gorilla hands?

For some reason, I just don’t get those gloves. They must be the furthest thing away from pretty or elegant, avant garde yes, but a little too clumsy looking, no? You wear a dress, nice jacket, and then imagine putting those gloves on…
I know, I get that a lot of times it ALL lies in the styling and designers these days need to make unconventional items to create desire in customers/buyers (because the current season, leather gloves are so… YAWN, ok bye) so I guess you Balenciaga, Marni, Prada yada yada fans would convince me other wise—— I am all ears.

no. it’s just a passing fancy if you ask me. besides, imagine if you dropped a thousand dollar bill – fat chance if picking it up with these clumsy looking gorilla hands.

I know a boy in my school who wears them. He must be so happy right now.

Hmm…I don’t know! I’m split! I love fur (I know, I’m sorry…but I admit it. Fur IS fashion!) but I don’t think they work well as sleeves.

Must be a trend though, seeing as Balenciaga, Marni, Roberto Cavalli, and Prada seem to like it.

No way.
Although I’m pro fur, I’m never wearing THAT.
What’s the point of waxing then? You look like a gorilla spawn.
