Best Women's Face Masks
Good afternoon ya’ll! I hope this finds you well and enjoying the Fall weather and activities, wherever you may be. Here in Richmond, I’ve just come from soccer, where spectators, for better or worse, must wear a mask on the sidelines. I suppose we should be getting used to this by now…2020 has just been that kind of year. Speaking of 2020, since when did we ever think face masks, something that seems so apocalyptic or reserved for hospital use, would become a part of fashion? Never would have thought. Since I work as a Realtor, a job that relies on social interaction, to a certain extent, and Real Estate never shut down, I have been wearing my fair share of masks over the past several months. Some, better than others. Taking comfort, style, and even philanthropic benefits in mind, I’ve rounded up the best women’s face masks currently on the market….according to me, of course.
Are these masks not just beautiful?? I mean, if you’re gonna have to wear one, have fun with it. I’m sure there are different schools of thought on knit vs. woven vs. eyelet, etc., but I have to say, my hands down favorite masks are by none other than Tory Burch. I have featured one pattern above, but the set of five I purchased includes a blue and white Chinoiserie pattern that I’ve obsessed with (see image below). Her masks also come with an adjustable nose piece, which prevents the mask from sliding (and getting sucked into your mouth while talking). They are not only beautiful and comfortable, but I’m also loving that the company is NOT making a profit on these. In a statement from her website, “We will not be making a profit on these. The price includes our cost to produce and a $10 donation that will be divided between two organizations. $5 will be donated to International Medical Corps working to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the United States and around the world, and $5 will be donated to the Tory Burch Foundation, working to advance women’s empowerment and women entrepreneurs; with a maximum donation of $500,000 to each organization.” Love that!
I also own the lovely masks from Lilly Pulitzer (shocking, I know), and enjoy them for running into a store quick. I do wish they had nose pieces to prevent them from sliding, but they are light and breathable, which came in handy this summer. I also own the white knit mask from Smocked Auctions, which I have simply monogramed in Pink with my name. This one washes so easily and of course, goes with everything! Super comfy and also does not slide down…bonus!
