They’re the ultimate must-have accessory we didn’t see coming, and whether we like it or not, they’re here to stay for a while. Face masks are now more readily available than just about any trend—even puffy sleeves and chunky sneakers, y’all—so we might as well find ways to wear them that make these masks feel like a fashion statement. When the temperatures begin to drop, you’re going to want to set aside your summer masks and indulge in all the fall mask trends headed your way. Now that brands, boutiques and designers have perfected the art of making a face mask, it’s time we had a little fun styling them—just in time for autumn.

One of the things I look forward to most about fall is all the autumnal fashion that the season brings. Cozy knits to keep you warm, colorful hues that match the changing leaves and fall denim looks that are effortlessly cool. There’s so much to love about fall fashion, and the fact that we’ll all be wearing face masks doesn’t have to make it any less true. Once we start to think of masks as both a safety necessity and just another fun way to accessorize, it makes adding them to our fall wardrobes so much easier. Consider a fall face mask something akin to a scarf or sunglasses—an item that can complete your look, rather than compete against it.

Thankfully, face masks have come a long way, and they’re more fashionable than ever these days. While a simple black face mask has its perks (that versatility, though), option for something a little more fashion-forward is a great way to make a face mask part of your outfit. There are quite a few different fall face mask trends you’ll be seeing in the coming months, so we rounded them up and gave you ways to shop them all in preparation. You won’t believe just how chic these masks can be. Before long, you might even want to wear them with your favorite fall looks.
