After months of acclimating to a new normal, masks have become the final addition to the idiosyncratic phone-keys-wallet checklist before leaving the house. Countless companies have created ones in trendy prints, lightweight breathable versions, and even simple black face masks. With plenty of options on the market, it’s easy to choose one that appeases your aesthetic preference while keeping you safe.
Over the past few months, I have aggregated a few statement masks, including a pretty toile option that my colleague Madeline Fass sleuthed on the internet and a chain-mail number by Gypsy Sport that I was sold on as soon as I saw editor Chioma Nnadi wearing it. While both are great statement makers, most days I find myself reaching for solid black face masks or my silky white mask by Kes. I’ve found that minimalist masks in solid, neutral colorways punctuate any outfit best, whether it’s grounding a bold look or adding an unfussy finishing touch to my T-shirt and jeans on a grocery-store run.
From plain black face masks to dark or light neutrals, here are 26 sleek, minimalist masks that don’t fall short on style.
