The CDC recommends wearing a face mask in public, and as fashion people, that means we've collected quite a few — whether it's because they come in feel-good prints or, even better, the same pattern that's already splashed onto that shirt we really wanted to buy. Of course, it's important to read up on the details — most masks are not medical grade and do not come with filters, so be sure yours is right for you — and learn about the brand behind your mask set.
In particular, we've been excited to support some of our favorite labels that are also giving back with one-to-one initiatives and continuing to donate masks to healthcare and essential workers or those in need. We're also happy to see denim brands using extra fabric for face coverings (they end up matching our jeans, and we're not complaining!) and upcycled cloth being cut down into headband, scrunchie, and mask sets so you can feel stylish while lounging around in sweats.
This functional use of deadstock fabric is just one sustainable practice we've been proud to see fashion companies implementing during the pandemic, and all the looks ahead offer a stylish, matchy-matchy option for our wardrobes. There are mask sets here for all different moods. Whether you're looking for florals and tie-dye or something more sophisticated like stripes, there's something here for you.
This three-piece ASOS Design Pink Floral Face Covering With Pouch and Scrunchie ($19) is perfect for days spent lounging when you want to cinch your hair back, too.
We like this La Ligne Athena Tee Set ($125) because the material, which is 100 percent upcycled, is cut down into a crop top, and then the extra fabric becomes the mask! It's also being continuously restocked, so join the wait list if you want to order one.
If you love Christy Dawn's The Katie Dress ($248) . . .
Then you'll be happy to know that the brand's Sustainable Mask ($30) comes in the same checked print that's incredibly timeless.
This KES The Future Bandana Face Covering / Top ($65) comes in a feel-good satin.
The Lele Sadoughi Tie-Dye Face Mask and Headband Bundle ($35) has that lived-in, light-wash tie-dye look we love.
You'll reach for your Face Mask and Headband Set ($24) from Etsy every day. Click through to find different tie-dye shades, including olive and peach.
For something more laid-back with tropical vibes, shop this Le Superbe Surf Camp Shirt ($265) . . .
. . . and the matching Mask Pairs ($26). Cindy Crawford's a fan of the brand's co-ords.
Vivienne Tam is using leftover fabric from her current season's patterns to churn out the Pomegranate Reusable Protective Face Mask ($48). Make it a full look with the Flower Ruched Dress ($268, originally $535). There are plenty more prints to check out on the site, too.
We love how the Facemask With Filter Pocket Headband Set ($18) connects near the ear and becomes one with the use of a functional button.
