In light of the highly transmissible delta variant’s rise across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently recommended that fully vaccinated people should return to wearing masks in certain situations, particularly crowded, indoor settings. Even if your local businesses no longer require masks for vaccinated individuals, you may still feel more comfortable masking up when you’re at the gym, in a restaurant, or just out and about.
You probably still have some reusable face masks lying around, but it’s more than fair to want to add to your collection and find the best face masks available right now (especially if you can’t stomach the idea of buying more disposable face masks). If you haven’t shopped for masks in some time, here are a few things to keep in mind: Your mask should fit snugly over your mouth and nose, without visible gaps between it and your face. The best face mask options will have adjustable ear loops and a built-in nose wire (especially if you wear glasses and deal with near-constant fogging), in order to help ensure a secure fit. Your mask should be thick enough that air and light can’t easily pass through it, and you can opt for one that features a filter insert.
Beyond these masking best practices for safety and protection, you can let your personal taste dictate your ultimate choice, which, if you're feeling fancy, should include a face mask chain or lanyard, too. Here, we’ve rounded up a wide selection of the best face masks on sale now, which will help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, block COVID-causing droplets, and look rather stylish at the same time.
