It’s hard to believe that it’s been just over a year since face masks became the must-have item when you step out of your house. When they were first advised, people were happy to scoop up whatever masks were available. Since then, face masks have evolved. Now, they aren’t just made for protection– they can also act as a fashion statement.
So, as the country prepares to enter into a second summer where face masks are still advised in some areas, why not look for ways to rock yours in style? We’ve got some great ways you can look stylish all summer long while wearing your face mask.
Choose a Mask that Makes a Statement
The first tip regards your mask selection. Rather than the standard mask that looks just like all the rest, why not pick one that makes a statement? That could mean it has cool artwork, unique color, text or a funny saying on it, graphics, or a cool design. You can visit sites like funatic to get more ideas.
Change Things Up – Don’t Wear the Same Mask Every Day
At this point in the pandemic, there’s a good chance you’re getting sick of wearing a mask. The good news is that there has been some loosening of restrictions. Depending what state you live in, these restrictions may be much further along. To add a little variety to your look, why not start a collection of face masks? That way, you can pick a different one every day. It’s just as interesting as a different outfit every day.
Let Your Eyes Be the Focal Point
If you’re the type that would usually wear a full face of makeup, a mask can most definitely mess with your look. Not only will everything be covered up on your face, but it often transfers onto the mask. So instead of face makeup, let your eyes act as the focal point. Take the extra time to put emphasis on your eyes and it will change your entire look– even with the mask on.
Make Sure You Can Wear Your Sunglasses Comfortably
Because sunglasses are a summer staple, you need to be sure that you can also wear your sunglasses with ease while sporting your mask. This is important for anyone that will need to wear a mask outdoors. Typically, the masks that have a wire at the bridge of the nose allow for a better fit and tend to do better with glasses. It may take a bit of trial and error until you find the “right” style.
Wearing Your Mask with Confidence
While it may be hard to stomach that we are entering into another summer and masks are still around, the hope is that it won’t be this way for much longer. Plus, you can certainly rock your mask and still look stylish–it can even be seen as a fashion statement.
