There are four phases of mask wearing. The first happened at the beginning of quarantine, where you scrambled to DIY a mask using a dusty sewing machine or fumbled with a bandana that never stayed in place.
The second phase occurred when you reluctantly bought a mask from a big box store in bulk because you realized you probably shouldn’t wear the same one for multiple sweaty days in a row.
The third stage is when you finally caved and started experimenting with fun prints, or hell, even embellishments. The final frontier is this: matching your mask. The face covering has fully entered the accessories category.
Since many brands started making masks using leftover fabrics, you can find styles that complement headscarves, scrunchies, tops, dresses, and even bikinis.
Think of it as the adult version of babies who always match ridiculously oversized bows to their onesies. It might feel a little extra to have a gingham scarf and mask combo, but hell, we’re living through a pandemic.
We might as well look cute while dutifully following CDC guidelines. Read on to shop 11 designers who are coordinating your next virus-safe look, ahead.
