Covid-19 is still with us and is set to be a part of our lives for some time to come, which means that we should all be wearing masks wherever possible when out and about. As this best face mask list proves, though, there are some fantastic designs out there to make sure that you look good while protecting yourself and others.
And, hell, if Bane can wear one while overthrowing the world of banking and putting rich people in their place, then we sure as hell can wear some sort of face covering for an hour while we pick up our weekly shopping.
UPDATE: Well, here we are again. With a new strain of Covid-19 it's now more important than ever to wear a face mask when out and about and on public transport. Here's our pick of the best face masks and best face coverings to make sure that you protect yourself and others in style.
If you want to know the government's guidelines for face coverings, then head to the official site.
In short it says: "A face covering is not the same as the surgical masks or respirators used by healthcare and other workers as part of personal protective equipment. These should continue to be reserved for those who need them to protect against risks in their workplace, such as health and care workers, and those in industrial settings, like those exposed to dust hazards."
With that in mind, we've picked out 10 of the best face masks to wear that look great when you wear them. All of them are non medical use but offer the protection the government is asking for. If you want to go further, then please check the small print about just how much the material used filters and protects, as each manufacturer offers a different design.
In the end, it's not about looking cool but protecting you and those around you, so find the right one for you.
