One good thing came out of the pandemic (oh yeah, if you haven’t heard we’re in the midst of a global pandemic)—a new fashion accessory! The thing is, face coverings aren’t the accessory any of us saw coming, but hey, we gotta wear one. For a while, a lot of us threw our style out the window because super awesome masks and neck gaiters weren’t a thing yet––not anymore, friends! Tough Apparel came to the rescue, and we’re here to tell you how to match your mask to your outfit; check out our guide below.
Get an Awesome Face Covering
You can’t match your mask and outfit if you’re still wearing the basic surgical mask. We offer a ton of awesome designs including camo, tiger print, Darth Vader, Bane, the Joker, Gandalf, and the glorious beard of James Harden. If these don’t pique your interest, we also offer basic solid colors and the option to design your own mask!
Try Matching Your Accessories or Have a Statement Piece
One of the most common ways to intentionally work a mask into your outfit is by matching accessories. Maybe you’d like to wear one of our modern men’s ties, such as the Brooks which has a matching neck gaiter and socks. Alternatively, you could make your mask be your statement piece. The key to incorporating a statement piece is that it looks intentional. Now, intentionality can vary widely for everyone. Your idea of intentionality might be subtle while someone else’s might be Angelina Jolie’s face (no seriously, check out The Ang Mask).
When in Doubt, Go for the Basics
If you’re having a hard time finding a face covering that fits your style or outfit at the time, you can never go wrong with basics. We have everything, including black, red, blue, mint, and even pink for that special someone. Style basics are essential in every wardrobe, and it seems like face coverings are going to be a style basic for some time.
The bottom line is there are no “style rules” when it comes to learning how to match your mask to your outfit. These times are unprecedented, and we’re all figuring things out together. You can stand out as much or as little as you want with your mask—we have plenty of options for everybody.
