Since this is the issue where we take off our hats to fashion, we thought it might be timely to feature this season’s hottest accessory: the mask.

According to the CDC, cloth face coverings are recommended as a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplets from traveling into the air and onto other people when the person wearing the cloth face covering coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice.

Designer masks can be found on counters of some of our favorite Naples shops, made from gorgeous fabrics that offer breathable barriers for the most fashionable (and thoughtful) shoppers.

J. McLaughlin on Third Ave South splashed out a pretty collection of scarves that can be worn bandit style. They also sell designer fabric masks.  J. McLaughlin produced masks for @Masks4Medicine— an organization started by a group of New York City doctors who are providing PPE masks to the frontline teams around New York City that are most in need. The company has also made a donation to the Front Line Responders Fund—a fund that is transporting critical medical supplies to frontline responders combating COVID-19, as efficiently as possible, via cargo planes and ships.  

At Lux Boutique, the Katherine Way Fun Face Masks have been flying off the shelves. With a variety of patterns, from animal print to ocean-inspired designs, you can express yourself with one of these pretty fabric masks. Don’t forget to wash them every few days and smile underneath that mask. It will catch on!
