Where to find a stylish face mask

How can I make masks more enjoyable? A number of brands have added them to their ranges.

Face mask by KitX.

The plain surgical-style mask may be a new classic in terms of street wear, but is it enjoyable to wear? Not especially, but it is effective against the Covid scourge. To bring a smile, you could write something witty on it, or add a personal motif. If you want to get a bit more fashion, look into fabric mask options. If you’re creating your own, look for colourful fabrics and bold prints to match your outfits. A number of brands have added them to their ranges, often using fabric offcuts that usually go to waste. Examples can be found at KitX (pictured, $25, kitx.com.au), Ginger & Smart (gingerandsmart.com), Hew (hewclothing.com) and The Social Outfit (thesocialoutfit.com.au). Stay chic, stay safe.

Shall I bother with a denim jacket?

Just like your favourite jeans, a denim jacket will get more comfortable the older it gets. Plus, in uncertain times, there’s something sturdy and reliable about denim. A classic trucker style looks great with a black poloneck knit or a floral dress; find one at Sportsgirl (sportsgirl.com.au), Aje (ajeworld.com.au) and Camilla and Marc (pictured, $380, camillaandmarc.com). Look to KitX for artfully frayed styles (kitx.com.au), Morrison for quilted (morrisonshop.com), and Neuw Denim for aviator (neuwdenim.com).
