The Best Thing I Did for Myself Was Buy Cute Face Masks—These 16 Are My Favorite
Sponsor Content Created With Barrière
Early last year, it felt as though we all acquired a new accessory seemingly overnight. I don't know about you, but my hushed "phone, wallet, keys" self-check when leaving the house quickly expanded to include "mask." I'm all about wearing my PPE to protect myself and those around me, but I personally feel like I'm never excited about my mask game. I'm either grabbing one of those light-blue mass-produced surgical masks (boring) or one of my cloth ones (often cute, but who has the time to wash a pile of them every few days?). Both situations leave me a little stressed out because I always want to make sure I have my nice options on hand for special occasions, but that means I'm walking out of the house looking like a surgeon 95% of the time.
You can imagine my delight when I learned about Barrière, who saw the need for medical-grade masks with cute, presentable prints and made it a reality. They're also FDA approved, made from recycled materials, and come in an amazing variety of on-trend patterns, from leopard and tie-dye to a chic black basketweave that's perfect for those moments when you want to look cute but refined. It really feels like I can breathe easier (no pun intended) knowing that I can reach for a face covering that gets the job done and looks good with what I'm wearing. Keep scrolling to shop my favorite patterns.

Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
