Whether we like it or not, masks are now part of our daily ensemble – at least for the time being.
When we were first asked and encouraged to wear masks, I was using disposable, white ones. Like the kind your dental hygenist wears.
Throwing them out after each use was exhausting and annoying, so I decided to buy one that I actually liked.
I did this for two reasons. A. Less waste. B. I wanted a cute one.
After scouring the internet I found that there are plenty of great options, many of which donate masks to those in need.
I know wearing a mask is so not our norm and for many, it can cause feelings of anxiety.
It may help to have a mask you love so it won’t feel so awkward.
Snoop around below. Maybe you’ll find the perfect mask for you.
Here are 10 really cute masks.
KES
I bought this Kes mask in camo because it reminded me that photo from the 1918 flu of the two women walking down the street – which apparently isn’t really from the pandemic after all.
This mask is absolutely beautiful and easy to hand wash. I also purchased one in berry, heads up – it’s more red than berry.
For every mask purchased, KES donates one mask to a healthcare worker.
$17
Jaanuu
These reusable antimicrobial masks are made from the same fabric as Jaanuu’s scrubs.
My friend and college roommate, Kim, said they are “so comfortable and breathable” and it’s the best mask she has.
They come in a variety of wonderful colors.
Available in Kids.
$25 for a pack of five

In2Green
If there was ever a hygge mask, it’s this one created with cotton, polyester yarn, and knit.
A pocket is crafted inside the mask in the event you’d like to add a filter.
For each mask purchased, In2Green will donate a mask to a shelter or an emergency services center.
$15
Rendall Co.
Made in Los Angeles, this mask gets an A+ for all of its bells and whistles.
A pocket is in place for a filter, there is a built-in nose copper noseband to help make it snug, and it’s roomy enough to be worn over an N95 mask.
They’re selling out of styles, so if you like it, ya better grab it.
