Who knew that face masks would be the must have accessory of 2020? No one, that’s who. At first they were not easily available or the fit was bad but now, months in the pandemic the options are endless. With so many on the market you have a choice in the fashion statement you want to make. Here’s a round up of my favorites with most falling in the $40 and under category, making them fantastic and affordable gifts. After all, ’tis the season! Lets stay safe and look good doing it.

Let’s begin with this daring and colorful cotton velvet mask from Roopa Pemmaraju. Their masks typically have intricate handmade details and sell for $80 and up. Lucky for you, Anthropologie has commissioned a gorgeous private collection of their masks that sell for just $20 a pop. Look at that braided tie detail! Good for an aunt, nanny or teacher perhaps?

Do you prefer graphics to floral? How about these lovelies ^^ from Baggu? Not only do they have several prints and a nice array of solid masks to choose from they also offer both ties back and ear loop styles. Set of three costs $32 buckaroos with free shipping. I love the leopard print!
Perhaps simple and monochromatic is your thing. This gradient dusty rose set from Kit.sch may work for you. I love these earthy colors. A three pack is only $12 and currently they are offering a buy one get the second set at 50% deal. What a steal! They have many cute colors and prints to choose from if this color scheme doesn’t work for you.
I have one of these Ulla Johnson masks and I love it. It has a nice fit and I’m a sucker for her prints. Though her ready-to-wear collection can be pricey, these masks are totally doable at a mere $20. They ship free and proceeds go to the Bowery Mission so you can look good and feel good about your purchase.
This mirrorball mask is pretty fancy and would be fun for the holidays or for a Target run. You do you. By Pam and Gela.
This Clare Vivier mask gets me excited about spring! I love the floral print with the contrasting striped ties.. This is a statement mask for sure. It also has her signature bisous on the corner and is reasonable at $20. She has other styles and prints available including sets made with remnant fabric from past collections which are $49 for a set of 4.
So what about the kiddos? Well, I picked a few cute options that come highly rated.
This two pack has both sweet and sassy print and adjustable ear straps. I’m thinking fashion forward niece.

Leave it to Target to make cute designs affordable for everyone. At $4 for a set of two the price can’t be beat. So many cute prints! They also have some nice options for adults which are equally well-priced.
And for the man in your life…
Tie Bar has an assortment of masks made from their pocket square fabrics. Perfect for the person who likes to coordinate. Lots of prints to choose from. Do you know a dapper Dan?
I like some of Fossil’s whimsical unisex masks. Again, lots of prints and style options. 2 packs sell for $28. Uncles, dad’s, buddy’s, lady friends, they’ve got you covered.
Of course there is always the option to make your own. With a plethora of tutorials available on you tube, including no sew options, you’ll find one that works for you if you’re feeling crafty. I made several mask over the summer when I had the use of a sewing machine. It was fun to go fabric shopping and design unique masks for friends, family and me! I rotate my homemade masks in with purchased ones because I think we’re all past the point of just owning one mask.
Now, don’t lose you gorgeous mask! Consider getting a mask chain. Yeas, a mask chain! It clips to your mask and hangs around your neck so you can keep it close when it’s not covering your beautiful face. Can double as a glasses chain for sunglasses or readers (if you’re old and blind like me). This accessory takes mask wearing to the next level.
If you want an all in one mask, how about this sleek and sophisticated mask by Second Wind? Made with durable and breathable cotton linen detailed with a substantial and stylish chain this it a nice choice. I love the lines of this mask. It looks well-crafted and feels special but it totally neutral and wearable.
So there you have it. Any favorites?
Look it’s me in my Ulla. Stay safe and sane out there people!
