Musicians Can’t Seem to Stop Wearing Sheer Gloves: Here Are the Best Styles Starting At $5

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Move over ’90s and Y2K fashion, musicians have been flocking to a new style trend that’ll turn your outfits into an elegant statement. On and off the red carpet artists have been spotted wearing sheer tulle gloves with their outfits including Ariana Grand, Beyoncé and Olivia Rodrigo (to name a few).

The look isn’t anything new either and can be traced back to the 17th century to protect women’s hands and arms from the sunlight as well as being used for sports, according to glove brand Cornelia James. Over time, it was increasingly worn to complete evening wear outfits — think Bridgerton‘s ball scenes. Now, artists are bringing the accessory back into mainstream fashion with Grande sporting the look on various occasions like the 2024 Met Gala, her additional album cover for Eternal Sunshine and the 2019 Grammy’s.

Beyoncé even gave the simple accessory her stamp of approval when she attended Glamour‘s 2024 Women of the Year award. The 43-year-old star even showed off her complete look that combined trends: sheer gloves and the soft butter yellow shade, which can be seen in her Instagram post from Oct. 10.

The celeb-loved product has even caught the attention of Gen Z stars like Rodrigo as she finished her 2023 Met Gala look with a pair of soft purple tulle gloves.

Incorporating the look into your own style isn’t complicated either — you can use it as a layering piece under long sleeves of jackets to bring a more elevated touch to your outfits. For more fancier events, a long pair of gloves can elongate your arms while bringing an even more luxurious energy to your outfit.

“Im on @FallonTonight TONIGHT hottiesss make sure you tune in ? also s/o to my girls for putting me on the team ? @nyliberty,” the caption for the post reads.

NY Liberty made history this year winning their first-ever championship against the Minnesota Lynx. The night of firsts didn’t end there though as it was also the only time a winner-takes-all overtime game has occurred in WNBA history, according to NBC New York.

The best way to show your support for the women’s basketball team (beyond attending games in person) is to rep their official merch. As the 2024 champions, the athletes have a line of exclusive championship merch that you can stock up on and show off.

Seeing your favorite artist live can be a euphoric experience, but it also comes with high noise levels that are damaging to your ears. Exposure to loud environments can cause temporary to permanent ear damage, like tinnitus — even if it’s just a one time occurrence. Rather than succumb to prolonged ringing in your ears, concert earplugs brand Loop has released a sleek and luxurious pair of adjustable earplugs that let you control exactly how much noise reduction you want.

Hearing is measured in decibels (dB) with anything above 85dB being the point of ear damage range, according to Chicago Hearing Services. Most concerts tend to range from 90dB to more than 120 dB the site reports, which means whether or not you regularly attend festivals and tours, your ears (if unprotected) can become overwhelmed and suffer some major damage.

Trending on Billboard

Loop’s Switch 2 lets you adjust the volume level between three settings depending on your desired noise level or type of environment you’re in. There are four metallic shades to choose from — black, green, gold or silver — offering an elevated take on the classic foam earplugs you have to twist and finagle into your ears. Plus, they’re reusable, meaning you don’t have to constantly invest in a new pack of concert earplugs, which will save you money over time.

Loop

Switch 2

With a pair of Switch 2, all that you need to do is take each earplug out of the included compact carrying case, choose what size earbud you need and place them in your ears. There are three modes you can pick from, including Engage for chatting with friends while reducing background noise; Experience, which will protect ears during concerts and gigs without sacrificing sound quality; and Quiet mode, which offers the most noise reduction for a more calming environment whether you’re commuting or sleeping.

Even professional DJs have given Loop their stamp of approval, with DJs Nostalgix and Oguz having used the brand at Tomorrowland 2024. ShopBillboard had the opportunity to review Loop’s Experience earplugs for the brand’s Tomorrowland collaboration and can attest that they’re not only effective at blocking out noise while maintaining crisp sound quality, but are also comfy for long time wear.

Reviewers also can’t stop raving over the Switch 2 claiming they’re “the most comfortable earplugs I’ve worn.” Having the ability to switch volume levels have been a game changer for shoppers who say, “I love being able to adjust the sound quality and volume for different circumstances without having to keep taking out and putting in earplugs constantly.”
