Well chock this up as another post I never thought I’d write, yet here we are! If 2020 had a mascot, I think it’d surely be the face mask. And regardless of your feelings and opinions about them, face masks are a part of life these days.
I didn’t pay their style and fit much attention at first, assuming their lifespan would be fleeting…but just like everything associated with this pandemic, it goes on much, much longer than we could have imagined.
(Funny sidenote: We originally had plans to include matching face masks for our GxHSP Celebrate Summer Collection, but as the launch grew closer, it looked like masks were a thing of the past…so we cancelled them. Rest assured our next Collection will have cute, coordinating masks!)
Now I view them as an accessory, and opportunity to add a little style to my outfit. Or at the very least, not completely derail my outfit! I’ve ordered several over the last month, and settled on quite a few that are as cute as they are comfortable.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a retailer not offering face masks, but here are a few of my top picks, all in reusable, washable fabrics.
Sugarplum Tip: Wash your masks in my favorite Glam Wash for a little happy moment every time you put it on! I keep a fresh stack washed-and-ready by the back door.

11. Gator Style // Mr. SP is partial to this style, as he can just pull it up and down when needed. Made of a breathable, functional fabric, they’re also great when exercising or being active outdoors.
12. 100% Human Tie Dye Knit // Double-layer knit fabric makes these soft & comfy, in the cutest tie-dye patterns.
13. Old Navy Assorted Patterns // These triple-layer face masks come in every pattern under the sun…for a great price! They even have adjustable ear loops.

So many cute options, right?! My family prefers the comfortable, basic style of THESE, and I find myself reaching for THIS ONE more than any other. I hear great things about these masks, as well.
I also wear this chain to keep my mask on me, rather than shoved in my purse or hanging from my ear. What masks have you found to be the most comfortable? Do you have fun with your mask styles, or prefer to keep it basic?
*Disclaimer: Please note I am not a doctor, and these are not medical-grade masks, nor are they FDA approved. But when worn correctly, they show others you care and respect their health and safety.*
