This invention relates to electronic wearable articles such as clothing. The invention is an integrated wearable article (e.g. an electronic glove) that allows a user to signal to others the user's intent for direction. In an embodiment, the electronic glove includes a glove, a chevron-shaped light (e.g., aluminum gallium indium phosphide LEDs), integrated with the glove, wherein the tip of the chevron-shaped light points to the pinky knuckle of the user when glove is on the hand of the user to indicate intended direction, and an electronic circuit including a switch mechanism with a first contact assembly on the thumb and a second contact assembly on the index finger of the glove, wherein the electronic circuit detects when the first contact assembly touches the second contact assembly to actuate the light, and a battery to power the electronic circuit.
