79. Driving Gloves
Speed, control, action, power. These are the words that float through your friend’s mind as he watches you slip your driving gloves over your hands and slide behind the wheel of your car. You may only be going down the road to pick up some sandwiches, but clearly you mean business.
Made famous by Formula 1 racers and Action Movie Stars, driving gloves are the ultimate automobile accessory. With their sleek yet sturdy design, they are as cool as they are functional. The trick is to always wear them when you drive and to never address the fact that you are wearing them. Putting them on should become as habitual as checking your mirrors.
So whether you’re Steve McQueen, Speed Racer or Judd Nelson in the Breakfast Club, driving gloves give you a whole different kind of cool. Much like sunglasses, headbands and wallet chains, you don’t actually need to wear them, but you look more badass when you do.
