Hi guys so here's a list that i have personally made for you to stay fashionable even during Covid. So, sit back and read on:

Bandana

The bandana can be worn over the head as well as face masks. These are quite impenetrable and are safe to wear. You can simply convert your bandana into a mask using buttons and sewing needle.

You can buy these online as well as sew them yourself. These are available in various prints and designs.

Cloth masks made at home

Cloth masks can be sewed at home and are usually made with single or double layers. Just fold the cloth three times up and down and then sew it together, and your mask is ready.

The benefits of making a mask at home are that you can always match it with your attire as well as use the side slings of your choice. Many fashionistas are using chains as the side slings which look quite classy.

Store bought face masks

Another type is store-bought cotton face masks. These look quite professionally designed and are comfortable too.

You should choose a mask that has 100% cotton fabric. One with three layers is the most ideal choice to ensure your safety.

Filter masks

Some masks come with a filter inside them or you can also add a folded facial tissue in the form of a filter inside the mask. Though these should not be confused with vented masks which allow the unfiltered air to escape from inside the mask.

The filter in these type of masks is made up of a material called Polypropylene, which raises the efficiency of these mask by up to 40%.

Surgical masks

Surgical masks are for one time use and are to be disposed off after that. These are the thinnest and most flat masks, out of all the types. They help in controlling the inhalation of small particles by up to 60% and are useful in public places.

Wearing them more than once is not suggested as they are meant for only one time use.

N95 and KN95 masks

N95 and KN95 masks are designed especially for healthcare professionals like doctors and nurses, which is why normal people should not buy them to avoid shortage. These are the most effective in fighting against the virus and they filter out about 95% of the particles inhaled by the person wearing them.

The other masks protect other people around you, while N95 masks protect you from the inhaled droplets as well. There are other types in this category which may be more effective than N95 and KN95 too, like N99, N100 and R95 masks.
