Get a mask on, with 47 to spare

In a perfect world, you’d always have a stylish cloth mask on hand that matches your shoes and brings out the color of your eyes.

It would simultaneously prevent the spread of illness and make your voice sound just a little bit sexier. It would repel cat hair and never fog up your glasses.

Wait, no. In a perfect world we would only need masks for attending tastefully depraved masquerade parties and protecting the identity of super heroes.

So yeah, perfect is a stretch, but for now we’d settle for just never feeling panic in the drive-through as we pat ourselves down trying to figure out where the heck we put that mask that we definitely had five minutes ago.

A solid supply of reusable (but still also disposable) KN95 masks can help you get there. Keep some in your glove box. Have some where you keep your keys. Maintain a stash by the front door for when someone drops by and either “forgot their mask” or just actually forgot their mask.

Also, not to be a sad reminder that 2020 is the year that keeps on giving, but winter is coming. Think crappy weather and runny noses and busses flinging road slush into the air, not to mention more people crowding into places when it’s too cold to be outside. You’re going to want some fresh, clean masks on hand and 48 of them is an awfully good start.

Finally, for whatever it’s worth, these look just a tiny bit more stylish than the average disposable mask. They won’t do the shoe-matching/eye-complementing thing very well, but they do look plenty respectable in whatever environment you find yourself navigating.

Stock up and mask up, everybody!
