Fancy gloves, whether heavily decorated or made of a single expensive material, are some of the most subtle, but important, signs of luxury. People of high class, or wanting to look high class, will often include fancy gloves as part of their look. They aren't big and flashy like other luxury clothes, but they will be noticed by the people who "matter".
These gloves can be of any length, from just below the wrist to above the elbow, though gloves for men have less variation. Regardless, knowing which to wear is often a sign of true Old Money. The required lengths and styles for any event were unwritten rules, sometimes shifting from season to season. Those that wore the wrong kind of gloves were a surefire way to identify "the riffraff". Though a girl can learn about the right gloves to wear at a Royal School.
Such gloves are rarely worn for practical reasons. If they are, they will be Stylish Protection Gear (such as a lady's winter gloves being lined with fur). Though even gloves without practical purpose do help protect the hands... from looking like peasant hands. When Idle Rich hands do little work as it is, gloves further make sure nothing will callus them. As such the hands of some upper class characters look soft and delicate (and will give away such characters who are trying to hide their status). An exception to this latter clause is when a lady wears fancy gloves when Kicking Ass in All Her Finery. The gloves themselves may get bloody when she punches someone's nose in, but her tough hands will stay immaculate.
This trope was at its height from The Gilded Age to The '60s, when they were considered a necessary part of Society style. Before and after those times, fancy gloves were an optional luxury. Yet today certain Society events today still require gloves (such as many debutante balls).
As with most luxuries, fancy gloves are not limited to the upper class (just the fanciest are reserved for them). Even servants might wear gloves if the setting is formal enough. Otherwise gloves can be seen in many formal places and events. Some military corps even require gloves as part of their dress uniforms.
These can also overlap with Tricked-Out Gloves, as a glove studded with jewels can be a great way to camouflage the laser or Power Crystal built in.
A Sister Trope to Glove Slap (since gentlemen would use fine gloves when showing their displeasure), Conspicuous Gloves (a character always has one or both hands covered).
Compare Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry (another luxury with usually little practicality), Little Black Dress (a fashion that also signals elegance without being extremely fancy), White Glove Test (doesn't require gloves, but if it does they will be fancy ones).
Not to be confused with White Gloves (which is an animation convention, not a fashion one).

Sleepless Domain: The Magical Girls of Team Alchemical all wear different types of gloves as part of their classically elaborate costumes. Tessa and Sally both wear white wrist-length gloves with golden trim, while the more elegant and mature Sylvia wears a pair of light yellow opera gloves. Undine, the most feminine member of the group, initially wears a pair of opera gloves as well; however, as part of her Costume Evolution, they are eventually replaced with slightly shorter evening gloves and poofy sleeves. The team's most physical fighter Gwen is the only member to forgo the high-class gloves entirely in favor of more practical green and white gauntlets.

Disney Animated Canon: The princesses who married into royalty - Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana - all wear opera-length gloves as part of their signature outfits, while the princesses who were born into royalty (all the rest except for Mulan, the only member of franchise who's not a princess at all) don't.
While Elsa does wear fancy gloves for the first part of Frozen, their purpose is practical; to prevent her powers from unexpectedly manifesting and potentially harming others.

Iron Chef: Eccentric Millionaire Chairman Kaga almost always wears black gloves with his Costume Porn outfits. The only times he removes them is when he's eating, and one memorable occasion in the 21st Century Special when he asks if he can feel Toshiro Kandagawa's newly shaven head.

In Gypsy Mama Rose receives a pair of long gloves as a wedding present. She gives them to Gypsy to wear during her debut as a burlesque performer to sell Gypsy's "gimmick" of being high-class. Gypsy removes the gloves during her act (and drops one shoulder strap) as the extent of her performance and the audience goes crazy for it.

The Bad and the Beautiful: In the third segment, film producer Johnathan Shields convinces author James Lee Bartlow and his wife Rosemary to come to Hollywood so Bartlow can adapt his book into a screenplay. Shields also pays for all their expenses, so Rosemary takes advantage and buys many fancy clothes, including a pair of black velvet gloves that match her new evening dress and the black lining of her white mink wrap.

In Fallout: New Vegas, the White Glove Society wear gloves and certainly give the impression of being "high class" with their fancy outfits and upper-class demeanor, particularly in contrast to the fifties-styled "Chairmen" and the mobster-styled Omertas. It turns out that this is partly an act that Mr House forced them into, and that they used to be cannibals… and some of them want to return to being cannibals.

In Little Women, Meg and Jo are invited to a New Year's party. Meg is aghast that Jo has ruined her white gloves with lemonade, and thus can't dance. Buying new gloves isn't an option with the March family's current state of near-poverty, so Jo's only solution is for each girl to wear one of Meg's nice gloves and carry one of the bad gloves in their other hand so nobody can see that its ruined. Meg isn't enthusiastic (Jo's larger hands will ruin her nice glove), but has no alternative. Ironically Jo doesn't even dance with anyone except Laurie, and they did that out in the hall where nobody would've noticed her lack of gloves.

Gilda: Subverted in two ways during "Put the Blame On Mame". Wearing them at all belies that Gilda is not from an upper class background and she removes one during her performance, invoking the vulgar notion that she's performing a strip tease.

The Age of Innocence starts with the New York Society members At the Opera Tonight and then in the same evening going to an annual ball. It's noted that the men switch to dancing gloves when they arrive at the latter event.

In Chrono Trigger, both Queen Leene and her descendant Princess Nadia wear similar white dresses and long gloves as part of their royal outfits. Nadia is a Rebellious Princess, so she wears just loose pants and a top when she wanders around as Marle.

Alice in Wonderland (2010): Many female guests wear gloves to the Ascots' garden party, though Alice herself slightly zig-zags the trope by wearing nearly transparent ones that don't completely cover the fingers. While Alice's family is not nearly in the same wealth bracket as the Ascots, she has an inherent rebellious streak, while her mother wears full-length gloves and is more concerned with being "properly dressed".

In Cutthroat Kitchen, Alton Brown auctions off a sabotage in the form of his "late Aunt Mabel's gloves". Because Alton wanted to keep the classy white gloves pristine, the poor chef wearing the gloves had to make a club sandwich without touching any food.
The gloves are a recurring sabotage, eventually becoming infamous...

Enola Holmes: While the precise status - aristocratic or otherwise - of the Holmes family is unclear, Mycroft's sense of elitist propriety is evident; upon seeing Enola for the first time in years, he's shocked that she has forsaken wearing hat and gloves while under their mother's guardianship.

Anastasia: At the opera, Anya wears full-length gloves like the other ladies attending. Grand Duchess Marie's gloves are daubed with peppermint oil, which triggers a childhood memory of Anya's about spilling some peppermint oil on the palace carpet. This absurd fact proves to the Grand Duchess that Anya is no imposter, but rather the true Princess Anastasia.

In Ace Attorney, Franziska von Karma puts on an attitude of being cold and tough, but she's also very cultured, which is shown by her clothing which includes fine black gloves.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
These are worn by almost everyone during the high class state dinner party late in the manga even the guys, this being them though The Gloves Come Off literally when Negi and Ku Fei start super powered Arm Wrestling.
The third Imperial Princess of the Hellas Empire Theodora is always seen with these on. The Twilight Imperial Princess Asuna features these prominently in Requisite Royal Regalia.
The Ojou Ayaka dons these in preparation for the final day of the Mahorafest arc, in one of the most impractical high class outfits ever.◊

Legion: In "Chapter 22", after Gabrielle becomes Charles Xavier's fiancée, she wears pretty green gloves◊ as she's leaving the hospital and when she's slow-dancing in their new home to add flair to her splendid attire. As the future wife of an affluent Englishman, the gloves (along with the rest of her clothing and accessories) reflect her new social status.

Most of the cast of Downton Abbey wear these most of the time, with many variations in length. Justified Trope as the show is set in The Edwardian Era, when gloves practically mandatory to appear upper-class.
