Gloves are garments that cover up a hand.

The length of formal gloves is measured by buttons. A one-button length glove may extend to the wrist, where a sixteen-button length glove extends past the elbow to the shoulder.

Long length opera gloves are also called mousquetaires, due to the buttoned opening which allows the hand to be uncovered without removing the glove.
