Buy on LookHuman (From $18.99)

LookHuman has a mind-bogglingly diverse selection of cloth face masks to suit every possible style. We love this Japanse-inspired print, which is available in several shades, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. From pretty patterns and solid colors, to animal faces, rainbows, and silly sayings, there is truly a mask for everyone here. Plus, you can choose from accordion-style pleated face masks, neck gaiters, or flat masks, depending which feels more comfortable to you. Happy shopping!

Buy on ShopVida ($10)

If you struggle with your glasses fogging up when you wear a mask, you need this Vida mask. It features a built-in metal nose piece, so it fits snugly on your face. This not only helps keep your glasses clear, it also keeps you from having to constantly touch your mask to adjust it. These are made with two layers of cotton and a filter between them, which should be changed every week. They fit adults and kids ages five and up, come in a variety of colors, and are super-affordable!

Buy on NxTSTOP ($14)

Does the thought of having to keep your mask on during an hours-long airplane trip make you break out into a cold sweat? Try this bamboo face mask, which frequent globetrotters swear by. Bamboo is one of the softest and most breathable fabrics around — and it’s also extremely sturdy, with natural hygienic properties that make it odor-resistant. Available in black, navy, pink, light green, and heather gray, it has comfortable, stretchy, adjustable ear loops and a nose wire to keep your glasses from fogging up. Comes in a child size, too!

Buy on Shop Space Mask ($19)

People rave about this CDC-approved mask, which is made of specially-engineered nanotech fabric with holes too small for tiny microbes to pass through, yet big enough to allow easy air flow. Doctors, nurses, and other essential workers who have to wear masks for hours at a time are particularly fond of the Space Mask — and if they love it, we believe them! Available in a rainbow of solid colors, pastels (as pictured), black, white, beige, and a combo pack of stripes, dots, and checks.

Buy on Nano Air Mask (10 for $45)

It’s a good idea to have some disposable masks in your arsenal as well as some reusable cloth ones, and we think the Nano Air Mask is a great choice. These lightweight disposable masks filter out bacteria, allergens, mold, dust, smoke, and other fumes and allergens, all while keeping your face cool and dry underneath. It expands to cover the chin and up to the bridge of the nose, won’t fog up your glasses, and comes in a child size as well as the adult version shown here.

Buy on Nordstrom ($39)

Who says a face mask can’t be glamorous? In addition to being the height of luxury, this silk mask is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin — the silk is gentle on your face, while a 100 percent cotton inner lining is breathable and hypoallergenic. An adjustable nose wire and ear straps ensure a snug fit, and it’s machine washable, so it’s practical, too. (Just don’t put it in the dryer — lay it flat to dry.) Comes in pink, black, or leopard print.

Buy on Onzie, $10

These sweet masks, made to fit kids ages 5-10, are made from recycled fabrics the Onzie uses to make their popular yoga clothing. That means they’re stretchy, comfortable, and breathable, as well as quick-drying. A pack of two comes in assorted cute patterns and colors. (You don’t get to choose, but they all look adorable to us.)

Buy on Sanctuary (5 for $28)

Does the man in your life need a mask that’s a little bit rugged, like him? This Sanctuary mask (which also features a nose wire, for a secure fit), comes in a pack with an assortment of masculine patterns: black camo, dark green camo, and a bandanna print (as seen on Ben Affleck!).

Buy on Disney Store (4 for $19.99)

Whether they’re into Star Wars, superheroes, princesses, or Mickey and Minnie, these cloth face masks are sure to please the Disney fanatics in your life. They come in small, medium, and large, so little kids and big kids alike (and little kids in adult bodies) can enjoy all the adorable patterns.

Buy on LA Apparel (3 for $30)

Animal prints are a classic look — we feel sure that Audrey Hepburn would have sported a leopard-print face mask along with her little black dress. These LA Apparel masks come in a “cat-print pack” as well as several plaid patterns and many different solid colors, with contrasting trim. Your teenage daughters (and your inner teenager) will love these!

Buy on Casetify ($15)

Available in black, white, pink, or navy, these sleek masks are made with breathable cotton, fitted with a filter, and can be washed and worn over and over again. Casetify donated 10,000 masks to relief efforts when the pandemic began, and continues to support the cause by donating a mask for every mask it sells, so you can feel good about your purchase!

Buy on WellBefore ($1.19)

The KN95 Standard Ear Loop Mask is our favorite because it has five strong layers of protection, including two premium quality melt-blown layers. The elastic straps on this mask have a strong heat press for a firm hold(it’s not like those other masks that snap when you try to put them on!). The KN95 mask has a smooth texture that isn’t scratchy and provides comfort all day long. It also comes in five colors and with a flexible nose pin that fits snugly and prevents your glasses from fogging.

The Kimberly-Clark PROFESSIONAL N95 Pouch Respirator Mask is NIOSH-Approved, meaning its approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. It will keep you protected at all times. The mask comes with a pouch design that has a large breathing chamber for added comfort. The ear bands on this mask are made of patented material for softness and strength and have a bendable nose piece that fits under your glasses. The fabric won’t cling to your nostrils and mouth (even during heavy inhalation) because of the mask’s tapered shape and semi-rigid seams.

Buy on Amazon ($42.99)

The Hotodeal KN95 Face Mask is easy to wear and fits comfortably, so you won’t need to adjust it when you’re out and about. The soft elastic ear loop design helps relieve pressure on the ears. There’s a metal nose clip inside that provides a close fit and prevents glasses fogging. The filter efficiency is greater than 95 percent and will protect you at all times. This mask is a great choice to wear when traveling through congested stores, airports, bus terminals, and city streets.
