What Your Face Mask Says About You
An easy guide to face mask designs
As people adapt to the “new normal,” they’re venturing out into the germ-ridden world with covered faces. Although practical in nature, masks have become the new fashion trend. And as with any form of self-expression, you can tell a lot about a person by what’s covering their face.
Here’s your quick-and-dirty guide to face masks. Choose yours wisely — you don’t want to give off the wrong vibes.
Masks with Flower or Tie-Dye Prints
We’re glad you’re taking this pandemic seriously enough to choose this Lisa Frank of a mask design. It shows that you’re worried about getting the virus, but want to be sure to keep your natural-living vibes.
Just remember, when you’re shopping at Whole Foods, to keep your masks on. Then, take your kids to the doctor and get them freakin’ vaccinated.
Masks with a Fake Smile or Teeth
Whether you’ve got a big ol’ cartoonish smile or some bared teeth printed on your mask, you’re letting everyone know that you’re dying inside.
On the plus side, they do make you look creepy enough that people will stay away from you.
Masks with Animal Patterns
If your mask is adorned with cats, dogs, or pandas, you’ve got a cute personality and you’re not afraid to show it!
You’re grateful that lockdown gives you more time with your pets, and you’d never admit that you secretly hope that COVID-19 depletes the human population enough that wildlife can take back over.
Masks with Skulls and Crossbones
Your appreciation of death’s beauty is a somewhat ironic choice for a mask, but at least no one will mess with you.
