Common accessory for 'cartoony' characters, especially those from the early 1900s and shout outs based on that era. Simply, the character wears puffy white gloves, even if he doesn't wear much else. The gloves can be any length, and at least cover the whole hand (and all four of its fingers). Those that cover only the hand may occasionally have a wrist band and three lines on the back as well.
The main reason for their use was probably that it had the practical effect in an era of black and white cartoons where a mostly dark colored character could hold his hands against his chest and still have the hands be visible; Felix the Cat is notable for not wearing White Gloves and demonstrates the problem this trope addresses.
As culture and technology have marched on, it's stuck around simply as animation tradition. Though they still help emphasize that a Talking Animal actually has hands and makes it much easier to display hand gestures and movement. Oddly enough, characters based on birds don't wear white gloves and are often depicted with Feather Fingers instead (with Woody Woodpecker and José Carioca being notable exceptions).
Cartoon characters that have white feet, like many cartoon cats, usually also have white hands that have the same effect as White Gloves.
Note: this entry is for inexplicable white gloves on cartoon characters, not realistic humans that wear gloves as part of a normal outfit, or to perform a White Glove Test.
Additionally, the gloves don't necessarily have to be white; that's just the most common color for this trope, as any color that creates a contrast should qualify (i.e. Pac-Man's orange or brown gloves contrasting against his yellow body).
Compare with and Subtrope to Conspicuous Gloves. See Clothing Appendage if the "white gloves" are the actual color of their hands on otherwise colored arms.

TaleSpin and Robin Hood (1973) tend to demonstrate another motive for white gloves when applied to Funny Animals: when the anthropomorphic animals are drawn in a "realistic", detailed way, such as in those two shows, the sight of four-fingered hands with furs and claws can get very near the Unintentional Uncanny Valley. invoked Just look.◊ And that's not the worst example.

Looney Tunes:
Bugs Bunny wears them, as a matter of fact, those white gloves are usually the only things Bugs wears. Y'know, when he's not acting as a girl.
In one episode of The Looney Tunes Show, Bugs's White Gloves shrink after being washed improperly; this proves highly stressful for him, and when he tries to buy a new pair, he finds out that they aren't in stock because "this isn't the nineteenth century", and he has to buy some fingerless gloves instead.
Porky Pig has a mixed track record regarding this trope. While he's shown wearing gloves on occasion, particularly under Bob Clampett's direction, most of the time he goes without.
In Looney Tunes Cartoons, Porky's gloves (here yellow) are part of his design in the show as a Mythology Gag.
Marvin Martian is an interesting case, as he is the only non-animal character that that wears white gloves.
Sylvester's white paws, which his son inherited, match their white feet and have the same effect as white gloves.
Early Merrie Melodies characters such as Foxy or Piggy, also wear them as well.
Sniffles the mouse wears white gloves, while the recurring Bookworm character from his series wears yellow gloves.
Lola Bunny is an odd case, since she's a rather modern character created in the 1990s. She even retains the gloves in The Looney Tunes Show and New Looney Tunes. It could be justified, as she needed them to keep accuracy with her Spear Counterpart, Bugs.
The normally bare-handed Daffy Duck dons white gloves in The Great Piggy Bank Robbery as Duck Twacy. He also wears them in Person to Bunny for his dance routine after Bugs is chased away by Elmer.

Big Eggo, the original cover star from The Beano and anthropomorphised ostrich, usually wears white gloves so it looks more like he has hands. It's a slight subversion in that the rest of his "arms" still look wing-like, and he's sometimes shown without the gloves (in which case, he has normal ostrich wings), or they're drawn to look like white wingtips instead of gloves.

The titular character in Disney's Pinocchio has both white gloves and Four-Fingered Hands as a puppet. He loses the gloves when he becomes a real boy, as well as having a proper set of five fingers on each hand. All of the Funny Animals in the movie (Jiminy Cricket, Honest John, Gideon) also sport gloves.

The Cracked article "Hey, Sorry, But 5 Of Your Favorite Things Are Racist" discusses how the white gloves worn by cartoon and video game characters are modeled after minstrel shows. This was criticized by many commenters, who argued that while some characters like Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid were clearly intended as minstrel show archetypes, the simpler explanation is merely to make their hands more visible in a time when cartoons were in black and white.

Animaniacs
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner wear white gloves and Walter Wolf wear yellow gloves, all of whom are characters created in the 1990s who are played as classic cartoon characters. Slappy, who also plays as a classic cartoon character, averts this trope.
The Mime wears white gloves because he is a mime.
In "Space Probed", when Wakko’s turns into an elephant, his front feet are white like his back feet.
In one episode (coincidentally enough, titled "White Gloves"), Wakko's gloves (and apparently all other gloves in the show's world) are actual living beings. His hands are colored black like the rest of his arm in that short.
As the Great Wakkorotti, he can use them to make music after they've been stuffed full of hot-dog condiments.
In Wakko's Wish, Yakko has a hole on the middle finger of his glove and the exposed middle finger is black like his arm.
In one issue of the Animaniacs Comics, there was a panel in which Wakko takes off one of his white feet like it were a sock to dump out sand and that foot appears black like his leg.
Subverted with Rita the cat as she actually has white hands to go along with her white feet (coincidentally, the Warners also have white feet). Same white-hands-and-white-feet thing applies to Runt, although he rarely uses his front feet as hands.

Not all the time. In various comics and the cartoon Mickey's Delayed Date, Mickey bathes without his gloves. In the House of Mouse short "Daisy's Big Sale", Minnie is also seen getting out of the shower gloveless. note Though an animation error depicts her wearing white gloves when she picks up the phone beforehand.

Porky Pig has a mixed track record regarding this trope. While he's shown wearing gloves on occasion, particularly under Bob Clampett's direction, most of the time he goes without.
In Looney Tunes Cartoons, Porky's gloves (here yellow) are part of his design in the show as a Mythology Gag.

Animaniacs (2020):
The Warner's gloves are straight up white while the white areas on their bodies are slightly yellowish. The white fur on characters (including Pinky and the Brain, but excluding the Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, and Hanna Barbera characters that show up in the voting rights for cartoon characters episode) is slightly yellowish whereas the white clothing, sclerae, and teeth are straight white, so the white gloves and white hands are easier to tell apart.
Anime Dot is wearing fingerless white gloves, and her exposed fingers are white like her feet (in which the white thereof stops at her thighs instead of at the ankles like normal). Anime Wakko isn't wearing any gloves seeing as his hands appear the slightly off-white color of his feet and face than the white of his gloves.

Mario and Luigi from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, based on the video games, of course.
Interestingly, Mario's NES sprite lacked gloves, but most of his features (hat and moustache) were still there for similar reasons of making the character distinctive given the limited technology.
Mario's depiction in the Donkey Kong segments of Saturday Supercade also had him wearing white gloves, even though the arcade game sprites didn't have gloves back then either (although some early promotional artwork did have him in gloves).

In a behind-the-scenes documentary for the original Bayonetta game, the developers stated that they purposefully gave Bayonetta white gloves to help the players with making out exactly where her arms are since her entire appearance and outfit being primarily black along with her hanging hair off her arms could possibly obscure her limbs when attacking and blend into the environment. This seems to be a continuing design aspect in the series, as both of her main designs in her later games would again have white gloves to contrast the black suit. In all the games, the gloves themselves are mainly white, but the insides of the gloves are the main color of the game, red for the original, blue for 2, and purple for 3.

Although Sam from Zebra Girl wears relatively realistic clothes, his gloves are a clear takeoff on the classic Mickey style. They allow him to slip his ropes when kidnapped by werewolves, because they didn't think about relative bulkiness of hands in gloves vs. ungloved. In his world, they're a religious symbol, with the lines representing the wounds of Saint Jiminy, making them a useful weapon against vampires.

Super Mario Bros.:
Mario and Luigi. This wasn't apparent in their early game sprites, however, as limits in technology did not allow enough colors per sprite for their hands to appear white. Presumably they wear them as an homage to classic animation, since white is the last color a plumber would want for work gloves.
Wario usually does, too, but in his WarioWare outfit, he wears fingerless yellow gloves with "W"s on them.
The only human character who doesn't regularly wear gloves is Rosalina.
Anyone wearing a Tanooki Suit or Cat Suit in Super Mario 3D World will have cartoonish white gloves even if they weren't wearing any beforehand. For the Cat Suit this may be justified since they have cat paw prints on the palms which match the feet.
This is Lampshaded in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Mario and Luigi are asked by their family why they are wearing white gloves when they are plumbers who need to get their hands dirty. Mario responds that it's like a trademark to distinguish them from the competition.

Bugs Bunny wears them, as a matter of fact, those white gloves are usually the only things Bugs wears. Y'know, when he's not acting as a girl.
In one episode of The Looney Tunes Show, Bugs's White Gloves shrink after being washed improperly; this proves highly stressful for him, and when he tries to buy a new pair, he finds out that they aren't in stock because "this isn't the nineteenth century", and he has to buy some fingerless gloves instead.

Goofy's more human-like and relatable persona, George Geef, usually has a pale body, no protruding teeth, and doesn't wear gloves. Women in Goofy shorts also tend to be more human (have human faces, breasts, curves and more fingers), and the only gloves they wear are mostly realistic evening gloves rather than cartoony ones. Children don't usually wear gloves either, so in some shorts, Mr. George "Goofy" Geef may be depicted as having black fur and white gloves while his own son George Jr. is completely pale and wears no gloves.

Pokémon:
The Pokémon Poliwhirl and Poliwrath wear white gloves for no apparent reason (the Game Boy was capable of displaying various shades of gray, so visibility isn't really an excuse). Oddly enough, if Poliwhirl evolves into Politoed instead of Poliwrath, it loses its gloves. Since Poliwrath is a Fighting-type Pokémon and will often engage in punching or physical attacks, perhaps the gloves act as a type of boxing gloves of sorts?
The Pokémon Mr. Mime wears white gloves as well, being a mime and all.

José Carioca and Panchito of The Three Caballeros originally wore yellow and brown gloves respectively. Ignoring the fact that most comic artists (like Don Rosa) forget about the gloves completely, when they re-appear in the House of Mouse, their gloves are both significantly whiter, José's even taking on the appearance of the standard Disney white gloves, just with a slight yellow tint. At the Epcot ride, José's gloves are distinctly the proper shade of yellow but Panchito's are distinctly white. Some versions of Panchito, such as in Legend of the Three Caballeros, opt to make it only look like he's wearing gloves, making the white hands instead a separate feather coloration that ends at his elbows.
The 2017 DuckTales incarnations keep the Epcot coloration, with José wearing his traditional yellow, and Panchito in white.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
All animal characters (and Dr. Eggman) in the games wear white gloves. This is due to the fact that the characters are designed after Western animated characters like Felix the Cat and white gloves are an expected trope. For the majority of the male characters, their wardrobe is limited to shoes, socks and gloves. Even echidnas born thousands of years before any of the events of any game wear gloves! Ironically, the American cartoon adaptations didn't bother giving gloves to any of their original characters, making Sonic and Tails stand out like a sore thumb.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood makes gloves one of the pieces of character equipment.
Even some of Eggman's robots, notably Eggrobos and other bots like Hei Hou (the Mushroom Hill Act 1 boss) have white gloves.

Mickey Mouse and other Walt Disney characters are among the oldest examples, with the only real exceptions being Donald and the rest of the Ducks. Mickey first appeared in his signature white gloves on March 28, 1929, in The Opry House, a musical short in which he performs vaudeville acts such as snake charming and belly dancing. Interestingly, at the start of the short—when Mickey is sweeping the theatre steps before going inside to perform—Mickey is gloveless.
Mickey actually appeared with white gloves on the title of his debut Plane Crazy, and the "The End" image, though not in the animation.
Both Mickey (Mickey and the Seal) and Clarabelle Cow (Mickey's Fire Brigade) have been shown to keep their white gloves on even when bathing.
Not all the time. In various comics and the cartoon Mickey's Delayed Date, Mickey bathes without his gloves. In the House of Mouse short "Daisy's Big Sale", Minnie is also seen getting out of the shower gloveless. note Though an animation error depicts her wearing white gloves when she picks up the phone beforehand.
In one House of Mouse short, called "Pluto's Magic Paws", Mickey happens upon a pair of magical gloves that look identical to his own, and leaves them at his house with Pluto all alone while he goes to attend a magic show. Hilarity Ensues.
And Lampshade Hanging, too:
Goofy's more human-like and relatable persona, George Geef, usually has a pale body, no protruding teeth, and doesn't wear gloves. Women in Goofy shorts also tend to be more human (have human faces, breasts, curves and more fingers), and the only gloves they wear are mostly realistic evening gloves rather than cartoony ones. Children don't usually wear gloves either, so in some shorts, Mr. George "Goofy" Geef may be depicted as having black fur and white gloves while his own son George Jr. is completely pale and wears no gloves.
José Carioca and Panchito of The Three Caballeros originally wore yellow and brown gloves respectively. Ignoring the fact that most comic artists (like Don Rosa) forget about the gloves completely, when they re-appear in the House of Mouse, their gloves are both significantly whiter, José's even taking on the appearance of the standard Disney white gloves, just with a slight yellow tint. At the Epcot ride, José's gloves are distinctly the proper shade of yellow but Panchito's are distinctly white. Some versions of Panchito, such as in Legend of the Three Caballeros, opt to make it only look like he's wearing gloves, making the white hands instead a separate feather coloration that ends at his elbows.
The 2017 DuckTales incarnations keep the Epcot coloration, with José wearing his traditional yellow, and Panchito in white.
TaleSpin and Robin Hood (1973) tend to demonstrate another motive for white gloves when applied to Funny Animals: when the anthropomorphic animals are drawn in a "realistic", detailed way, such as in those two shows, the sight of four-fingered hands with furs and claws can get very near the Unintentional Uncanny Valley. invoked Just look.◊ And that's not the worst example.

Rayman wears big white gloves that are somewhat hard to identify as gloves since they are floating and lack visible cuffs.

Mega Man:
X and Zero in Mega Man X.
Actually, most reploids, if not all, have white gloves.
Also Bass in the original series. These are likely for preventing dust & dirt from fouling the delicate motors in their hands.

Kingdom Hearts:
Sora's original costume was meant as a nod to Mickey Mouse, who was planned to be the main character, so his costume has red shorts, big yellow shoes and, of course, puffy, white fingerless gloves. His later costumes evolved away from the Mickey Shout-Out and his gloves became black.
As for the classic characters who've always worn gloves? Goofy's gloves are given minor decorative elements that goes with the rest of his outfit, Pete eschews the white gloves altogether for blue, fingerless gloves (exposing fingers covered in black fur), Minnie has High-Class Gloves that match her gown. Mickey, strangely, is the only one who has just the standard gloves.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand of Super Smash Bros. are white gloves. It certainly helps them stand out against their backdrop: deep space.
