13 Face-Mask Chains That Are Both Cute and Practical

Whenever I leave the house, I'm in a face mask. Full disclosure, my departures are still relatively quick, and I basically don't take off my mask until I get back home, or I'm in my car. I know that lots of people are taking advantage of outdoor dining right now, and for situations such as that, I think there's real value in a mask chain — and I really like these 13 cute options on Etsy.

A mask chain is very similar to a sunglass chain; you simply attach your mask to these chains, and it goes around your neck, so that for the few times you're not wearing your mask, it would hang around your neck like a necklace. Initially, I was cautious of these chains, but they've gotten the stamp of approval from my best friend, a nurse in New York City, so I feel good about them. Plus, there are so many adorable options, and they make them for kids too! Think rainbows, personalized ones, and even gold links. Keep reading to shop our picks.
