I'm currently wearing the masks that resemble the ones worn by medical staff. I can't help but notice all the different styles/colors when I have to get out and about. I'm all for wearing something with color/bling and currently searching the internet for some.
For all the posters making/wearing "fashionable" masks, you've got my vote.

@Foxxee Medical grade masks are for essential employees only; using other fabrics is to protect others from you, wthether you're at a minimum of 6 ft apart or not.
It's about respect for others- although I disagree with crocheted masks. Too many droplets can be transmitted with the space between the yarn. I use surgical masks, or 100% cotton - each with multiple layers.

I stopped by the Doctor's office last week. I saw 2 nurses and they had on multi-print masks to match their scrubs. It made me smile. I asked where they got them and they said their friends are sewing them.
I say why not? This will be the new norm for quite some time.

It is a self calming activity. Perhaps like baking more? Since none of these masks are remarkably effective, just move out of their way or stay home.

@Pink123 Very few people here (Florida Land of fools) wear masks so it is always a shock to my system when I see one. It causes a wave of panic and alarm to go through me. The more noticeable a mask is, the worse. I have ordered two masks, both pale in color and meant to blend in rather than stand out. Maybe if more people here actually respected others enough to wear a mask, they would not alarm me so much. Then again, that might not make a difference.

Perhaps it depends on each of our situations, but I have to wear masks constantly. I live in a retirement community and I can’t answer the door without a mask. I can’t leave the apartment without a mask. I can’t do laundry, dump trash or get mail without a mask. I’m finding that I need masks like I need socks. I keep adding to the supply. I look for ones that are functional first, of course, but it doesn’t hurt to find attractive ones too. I feel like I live in these things so they’ve become a part of my identity, like my glasses. We only moved here recently, and no one has seen me without a mask!

Exactly! Similar situation. NYC high-rise building - masks required when leaving apartment.
NYC - Masks required on the street.
Stores - most require masks.
I'm making them in all colors!
