One of the CDC's recommendations right now, in an effort to slow and prevent the spread of disease and germs, is to employ the use of face masks in public places where social distancing might be hard to keep up. While a DIY-fashioned mask is always an option, sometimes it's just fun to jazz it up a little — especially if your purchases simultaneously give back to communities in need. To help flair up your safety style, we rounded up 16 fun and decorative face masks to add into the rotation.

(Please note, these masks are not direct substitutes for medical-grade Personal Protective Equipment. In instances where medical-grade PPE is required, please consult a healthcare professional.)
