STYLISH FASHION FACE MASK TO BUY NOW

by Maurice Robinson

Masks are not a fashion accessory, but they do take up a fair amount of real estate on your face, so it’s not surprising that people are looking for aesthetically pleasing ones. With that in mind, below is a selection of the most stylish masks to buy now. Some sellers are even doing a buy-one-donate-one offering.

As we start coming out of hibernation/quarantine/the anti-social social club, it's super important that we pop on a mask or face covering in public, per the Centers for Disease Control. The TL;DR on that: Wearing a cloth face covering helps limit the spread of respiratory droplets you emit into the air or onto another person or thing when you cough, sneeze, or talk. Good stuff all around, right?

And, bonus, over the last couple of months fashion brands, boutiques, and basically all of MOMO FACE MASK have gotten real good at designing GORGE cloth face masks that you'll actually want to wear. For reals. No OOTD is complete without one of these beauties below (a red lip that won't transfer to your teeth? Hell yes!).

But before you get to shoppin', just a few quick things. Remember that wearing a mask is more about protecting others than protecting yourself. (But if we’re all wearing masks, we’re all less at risk.) And since that's the whole reason we're into these badass accessories, you have to make sure your model fits snugly against your face, you wash it after each use (more on that here), and remove it without touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Oh, and wash your hands (obviously) once it's off your pretty face.

Wearing masks will be the norm for the foreseeable future so why not make ours funky? Protection can come with style, and practicality - all MOMO face masks are washable & reusable! There are plenty of fashion face masks to choose from so how about an ethnic look or colorful covering to give yourself that unique style on the streets.

FASHIONABLE FACE MASK

We can all do our part to reduce the risks of COVID-19 and there are fashionable ways to do it! Pick a Bohemian face mask that is washable and lined with linen. Silk face masks can be light and soft on the skin and when it’s time to party how about a sassy sequin-splattered alternative?

Mix and match for the occasion or the day. For a scorching hot summer weather lean towards breathable, cotton masks and on those cool nights you can be armed with softly-lined, exotic, embroidered masks.

Let’s have fun and dress ourselves with a different face mask for every occasion!

Safety, with a sense of style

Naturally surgical masks should be saved for frontline workers, so the considerate solution is to use cloth face-covers which offer the next-best protective solution. Designers everywhere have stepped up to the task of keeping us fashionably covered. The shape, shades, prices, look may vary but they all serve the one goal, keeping those Covid-19 droplets from spreading!

Face covers are now available in various styles and materials - and we will sample some below - the fashion industry has really responded to our current needs in creative and resourceful ways! In this age of pandemic, fashion masks can give protection as well as a sense of individuality. Safety is offered in a variety of trendy options, from luxurious velvet, to hot pink snazzy terry cloth, to the artsy custom-made pièce de résistance, such as those hand-made from vintage fabrics - the diversity of style is endless.

Cloth face masks should be embraced as a fashion phenomenon!

Washable and reusable

Consideration for the environment is no less important than being fashionable and aesthetically pleasing. Cloth masks are eco-friendly, reducing the waste of disposable masks. Cloth face masks can be washed and reused, helping with sustainability. Since they are small items, even the Bohemian fabric and glitter-studded materials talked about below are easy to keep clean. Hygiene is the word on the streets! PS. Don’t forget to wash your hands!

Comfortable and practical: adjustable face mask neck straps

Nonessential but useful, face mask neck straps are now available so that you can hang your face masks on your neck and keep that face covering close-by at all times. The straps are sometimes sewn on to the mask in a way they can be adjusted. Also, on the market are removable straps that can be transferred from mask to mask: the beaded ones invoke a tribal trend while cloth ones offer comfort and practicality. With the face mask hanging around your neck, you can put it on and take it off as you need and adjust the tightness of the earloops. When you are jogging alone along a path you might not need to have the mask on but when you pass others it’s super accessible to just slip on your protective gear. By using the face mask neck strap, almost like a necklace or the strap to hold your reading glasses, you can always have the mask on your person. Make the strap long or short, secured-tightly, or loosely fitting, as you prefer.
