Though winter this year looks a bit different for me as I have migrated down south to Miami, I endured eleven (freezing) New York winter and I am a Midwesterner. Therefore, it’s safe to say I know my winter apparel, and I know it well. Gloves are undoubtedly the most difficult cold weather accessory to get right, especially when it comes to high-functioning touchscreen gloves. There are many touchscreen style variations on the market, from cozy cashmere to sleek leather pairs , so it can be hard to decipher where to start. First and foremost, it is all about functionality when finding the best touchscreen gloves that will suit your winter needs. As we live in an increasingly virtual world and are admittedly attached to our phones, it's important that touchscreen gloves work properly when temperatures drop below freezing.
Fortunately, the technology behind touchscreen gloves has vastly improved the last several years, ultimately allowing the gloves to become more versatile in the styles offered. Simply put, when touchscreen gloves first surfaced, they were not fashionable at all. You can now find high-performing touchscreen gloves with shearling detailing, adorned with embellishments, or dramatically long cashmere styles—the options are truly endless. And the best part is, they do, indeed, actually work. Ahead, discover the 23 best touchscreen gloves; we pulled out quotes from the reviews, so you can make the best informed decision.

"Very warm. Definitely order a size up, they will stretch, but they are tight when they are new."
"They look and feel good, and they match my Canada Goose parka—the perfect matching accessory."
"I’m so happy with these gloves! I bought one in black and one in brown. I ordered my usual size, and they’re a little snug, which is good since they’ll stretch. I tested the gloves on my iPhone, and they work!"
"I bought a few packs of these since I tend to misplace my gloves throughout the winter season. Quick, easy buy."

"I normally do not write reviews, but I thought I should share this excellent product experience with all women! This glove is good for using with touchscreen cell phones.
