Gloves that cover the palm and wrist, but leave the fingers naked, are not just warm, they're hot. And they are expected to become the winter chic this season.

With fashion icons from Paris Hilton to Lindsay Lohan wearing fingerless gloves, last in vogue about two decades ago, the palm warmers may be more about fashion than function this season.
Another factor that is pumping up the sales of the accessory is the coming back of punk fashion.
With New York Fashion Week kicking off later this week, designers in New York City, have made a transition from girly, feminine designs to New Age punk.
Around 75% of the gloves being sold at trend-setting Urban Outfitters (URBN) are fingerless.
