Go ahead and give yourself a hand this season with a pair of gloves. But not just any pair of gloves will do. The hot hand warmers of the moment are extralong, wrist-length styles that not only look chic but also fend off wintery winds. And considering that many of the coats and sweaters that went down the runways had three-quarter-length sleeves, you'll welcome the extra inches that longer gloves provide. Got a little Audrey Hepburn in you? We thought so. While long gloves are being offered in many toasty fabrics such as cashmere, shearling, leather and suede, you may also want to reserve a pair in satin for the evening to pair with your little black dress, à la Breakfast at Tiffany's or Roman Holiday. Here are some other quick tips for wearing your arm candy like a pro:

• Long gloves in a rich color — such as moss green — add life to gray, black or brown coats.
• If eye-popping colors are the name of your game, then pair red, blue or even yellow hues with black-and-white tweeds.
• Matching the color of your gloves to your sweater or jacket creates a long, slim line.
• The best gloves are fitted and reach the elbow. Avoid letting a sliver of skin show between the glove and your sleeve.
• Scrunch your gloves down a little or a lot for a stylish look — knit gloves work best for this.
• Don't limit yourself to dresses for evenings. You can wear a simple black sleeveless top with a slim pant, and by adding a chic glove you increase your glam quotient to a whole new level.
• You don't have to spend an — ahem — arm and a leg on this trend. Many vintage shops carry interesting gloves for a song.
