Since the Centres For Disease Control (CDC) is recommending all Americans wear some kind of face covering when out in public, [1] we're stocking up on plenty of cloth face masks [2]. We're wearing masks to go run necessary errands, but also to go on walks in the neighbourhood, which means, we'd like them to be breathable. Plus, since it's almost summer and temperatures are rising, that need is only exacerbated. If you're looking for a comfortable face mask, we've got you covered.
From classic black masks [3] to ones with fun prints [4], these 12 masks will be your go-to styles. There's options for everyone. Just keep reading to shop our picks!
