Top Pick: Universal Standard Mask 2.0 | $15 | Universal Standard
I don’t know about you, but my masks are getting boring. Perhaps I was still hoping this would all pass quickly, but I didn’t invest in any masks I actually liked. Why waste money on something we’ve soon throw away? Well, a year later, we’re still wearing masks. Time to find the ones that match my outfits and make me smile, masks I can use over and over again.
As it says in Vogue, “Masks are not a fashion accessory, but they do take up a fair amount of real estate on your face, so it’s not surprising that people are looking for aesthetically pleasing ones.”
However, unlike Vogue, here you will find some of my favorite fashionable masks find that are actually affordable, because who’s paying $100 for a damn mask? They are both seasonal and fashionable so you too can give your sweats an upgrade with a fabulous mask. No one will even notice your lack of haircut!
