Cute Masks

December 28, 2020 10:53 AM

I'm looking for cute, cloth masks to wear to work. I have a smallish adult face and am looking for geometric patterns. Orla Kiley type prints at a moderate price. Please make suggestions!

Not sure what constitutes a moderate price, but I bought a few colorful masks from Threadless last summer that I'm pleased with.

I like this citrus-y mask. On the cheap end, Old Navy also has some bright masks.

If you like Liberty of London prints a local to me business is selling fabric masks that fit my smallish adult face very well. Not sure if the prices are considered moderate. She ships!

Old Navy has some nice print masks if you're on a budget, also the masks are super comfy & easy to care for. Etsy as suggested by Brainmouse is where you will find your perfect mask whatever your tastes though at a higher price point.

Target masks fit well and have lots of patterns. I also have a small face and they loop under the chin well.

Our whole family (including 13yo and 10yo smaller humans) has really enjoyed the vida masks. Lots of different patterns as well as solid colors. They seem to all have an elastic band that shortens the ear loop as much as you need, so it works for both the 5'9 and 5'1 people in the family.

Mefite Ambrosia Voyeur makes masks in an amazing range of fabrics, at her Maskerinos shop. The one she made for my son is his favorite of all the masks we have, including ones I made specifically to fit his face.

Seconding Maskarinos. Her patterns are great, and she takes requests if you ask nicely, and she keeps improving her design every time I order more.

Also, the Diop masks have lots of gorgeous geometric patterns, are a Black-owned business, and support Black nonprofits in Detroit. I have a bunch of them. Some of the reviews say they run a bit small, and I have a smallish head for an adult, and they fit me perfectly.

Last June, Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon - was pictured wearing this tartan mask. At the point of writing, you should be able to obtain a mask in pretty much any tartan of your choosing. Again - Etsy serves as a useful starting point.
