By now you have probably surrendered to the fact that masks are not going away. Your favorite stores and restaurants insist on you wearing them. You can’t visit the dentist or your child’s school without dutifully masking up for safety. So, if mask-wearing is here to stay for a while, we might as well do it in style.
Figuring out how to comply with these silly mask requirements in a stylish way seems a bit daunting at first which is why we wrote up this guide to face-covering fashionably.
Consider Your Comfort
The biggest hurdle to mask-wearing is definitely our comfort level. We want to be safe, but we also want to be comfortable. Let’s just be honest, some masks are not comfortable at all. The best way to determine your mask comfort level is to try out a few different types of masks. Today, masks come in many different types of material and they come in different shapes and styles. Once you have figured out which type of masks you are most comfortable with, you can actually start to incorporate a little style into your mask-wearing.
Types of Face Masks
You may find that you need or want different types of masks for different things. For instance, if you work in a medical facility, you will definitely need a mask that complies with the needs of medical personnel. If your profession does not put you at a great deal of risk then you will have a greater amount of choice when it comes to the make and material of your mask. You will also want to consider what type of mask you will need for other activities such as running errands or visiting an amusement park. If you don’t have the luxury of working from a home-based business during Covid-19, then suit up with a few of these fashionable face masks and take a look at a few of the different types of mask options that are available to us.
Tube Bandana
The tube bandana is one of the most versatile types of masks available. These masks are great for everyday use outside of work. If your place of employment allows tube bandanas during work hours, these can be a great work option as well. When you are simply running errands or attending your children’s events, visiting the park, or going for a walk, multifunctional neck tube bandanas for women can provide a safe, comfortable way to comply with mask guidelines and recommendations. Tube bandanas also provide you with a greater amount of style and color so that you can accessorize with your other clothing. When pulled down, the tube bandana looks like a stylish scarf.
Another benefit of tube bandanas is that they can be pulled up and pulled down throughout the day. This makes them a perfect choice if your activities for the day will include mask-wearing and non-mask wearing time. No digging through your purse for your mask. It’s right around your neck.
Cloth Masks
Cloth masks provide protection and can come in a variety of colors. The trick to wearing a regular cloth mask is to make sure the fabric is tolerable. Many cloth masks also come with adjustable ear loops. This can greatly add to your comfort level. One important thing to consider when choosing a regular cloth mask is to make sure you get a size that is right for your face. A mask that is too big will never stay positioned correctly, and a mask that is too small will be uncomfortable all day long.
Another nice aspect of cloth masks is that you can find them in a multitude of colors and fabric types to match your particular style. Simple Satch makes fashionable face masks and “starter kits” that come with filters, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes and a nifty little bag to keep everything in so you are always prepared to step outside the safety of home.
Vented Masks
Many people who struggle with comfort level while mask-wearing, have found that vented masks are the way to go. A vented mask is made very much like a cloth mask, but with the added feature of a breathing vent. This vent allows you to breathe in and out more easily. Most vents will contain a filter that can be changed. This filter will filter out dirt, dust, and most importantly germs.
Although vented masks do offer a better comfort level for those who struggle to breathe easily while mask-wearing, they do not offer a great deal of color or styles in general.
