As a result of the pandemic, face masks have become an integral part of our wardrobe – more so out of pure necessity. Even with restrictions being eased as we step into Phase Two, face masks are here to stay for a tad bit longer. Fortunately, many fashion labels and retailers are channelling their creativity towards churning out face masks that double as a fashion accessory. From snazzy prints to silky satin masks, here are some brands you can check out for fashionable face masks to stay safe and stylish.

Minor Miracles

This print and textile studio by local designer Dawn Bey is putting their leftover fabric to good use by transforming them into eye-catching face masks. Cut from the same roll of their Breath of Gerberas fabric showcasing a collage of watercolour prints, each piece is different in its pattern placement making the mask uniquely yours. All profits from the sales will be shared among Covid Migrant Support Coalition. These face masks (S$12 for adult and kids sizes) are made available for pre-order in small batches so snap them up before they are gone.
