Ah yes, the year 2020: the start of a new decade full of promise and hope and sunshine and rainbows. Unfortunately, those sunshine and rainbows never happened. With promise and hope down the drain, we are stuck in the middle of a global pandemic. Now, I understand that individuals may encounter difficulty taking care of themselves and others during this crisis, but there is an extremely easy way for you to keep yourself safe: masks. The simple face covering that allows for oh-so-much versatility can help you make a statement with your look.

First off, your mask has to be fashionable. Plain old light blue surgical masks are BORING; you must accessorize. A very popular option is the mesh mask. This glamorous face covering doesn’t hide your smile like traditional surgical masks, so you can show the world how you enjoy feeling like you aren’t even wearing a mask at all!

If you do decide to wear a surgical mask, that’s fine. (I’ll just be seriously judging you.) However, wearing it properly is BORING. To spice things up and make you stand out in a crowd, I’ve got some serious tips to help you look stylish and hip in that light blue patch of fabric.

First, we have the classic covering-your-mouth-but-not-your-nose option. This is a simple but trendy alteration of properly wearing a mask that is sure to make heads turn as you walk by. Just take the two elastic ends of the mask, pull them over each ear, and adjust your mask to reveal your nose while still covering your mouth. Now, you have a new and chic way to style your mask.

For the next style, we take it up a notch and reveal both the mouth and the nose. I call this the chin-strap. Follow the first two steps of the covering-your-mouth-but-not-your-nose option, but instead of only revealing your nose pull the mask down to reveal your mouth as well. The fabric should settle nicely underneath the round of your chin. This look offers excellent breathability and adds as a covering for your double chin.

This look can also be reversed (versatility is everything). Swing that mask around to the back of your neck to catch any sweat on those hot summer days you spend outside during a pandemic.

Coming up next is another fan favorite: the eye-mask. This option is more advanced than the previous two, so I’ll walk you through it slowly. Stretch the two elastics on the ends of the mask and pull them over your ears. Now, you’re going to pull the mask upwards instead of downwards until it covers your eyes. If there is adequate light in your surroundings, you should see pale blue; that’s when you know it is on correctly (yes, I tested this). This option is great for when you want to catch some z’s on a bus, train, airplane, or even just when you need a spare for at-home naps. It also doubles as a blindfold… in case you ever need one.

My final, and by far most fashionable design, is the bracelet option. Does your outfit look like it’s missing something? Do you need a piece of jewelry to pull the look together? Just grab your handy mask and wear both elastics over your wrist. Now you have a new bracelet that is sure to make a statement! The bracelet is even adjustable! You can wrap the elastics around your wrist as many times as you need until it fits just right, making this the ultimate one-size-fits-all fashion piece.
