The Long and the Short of It

Opera Mittens

In a world where everything seems to be getting shorter (coats, boots, your tolerance for Paula Deen), you long for length.

No longer (get it?). Opera mittens will keep you cozy — and cute — from elbow to paw.

So take your short-sleeve coat out of hibernation and head over to Hejfina for some glove love. Choose from two styles: Acne’s classic lambswool blend in burgundy or from Rachel Comey, gray-brown baby alpaca and wool. Comey’s are fuller and cozier (think less opera, more dive bar).

Whichever style you choose, you’ll be smitten.

Available at Hejfina, 1529 North Milwaukee Avenue, between North and Evergreen Avenues (773-772-0002 or hejfina.com).
