TBH I think wearing belts, straps is much more of an issue in relation to how they affect your muscle development in relation to your back and forearms respectively. Gloves are glove they make no difference. If you like wearing them wear them if you don't then don't.

But yeah Nick does give me and raz a lot of 'you big girl looks.' So I bought red ones to make them stand out more.

Dont wear gloves feel uncomfetable, use wrist straps on back day for heaviest lifts,wear belt when doing heavy squats deadlifts and bent over barble rows.

Don't use either. Well, used a belt when I hurt my back and was trying to get into it again. But only for a week or two. Starting to like the hard skin on my hands that I'm getting from not wearing gloves.

i didnt wear gloves but wore a belt years ago when heavy squatting.
About to start training again after a 6year layoff & will do it without gloves or belt unless really needed for heavy squats again
