It’s probably time to step away from the same blue disposable mask and try something new—and who says masks can’t be both safe and fashionable?
Making the most out of a difficult situation, many designers have added face masks as accessories to their collections. From extravagant designs to simple form and function, brands have devised some truly innovative ways to integrate all the elements of a safe face mask with creativity, playfulness and sophistication.
Fit for any event you might need to attend, check out these seven different brands selling affordable, fashionable and luxurious face masks.
