I look like a giant insect in it and it really does ruin my street cred!!
I usually wear the vertical folding ones with no vent that go over your ears, as they are comfortable, cool and breathable. I couldn't give a hoot about fashion designs.
Maybe they should design some with rude body parts to see if you get arrested. What next - political statements like in the 80s with katharine hamnett?

However, if one of us does not comply then that person can transfer the virus to the other, even if the other is wearing a mask.

There are two types of mask, one of which stops you infecting others and another type which protects you.
They are very different.

Re: Fashion accessories
I come under the ''exempt'' list with my condition but at the beginning of March, I bought a box of the blue ones 25 in a box, plus a box of blue gloves, and we wear them whenever we go into the bank, or even to the corner shop. then when home again it's wash hands to either the tune of Happy Birthday to you or a verse of God Save The Queen!I was told the other day that when wearing the blue mask, to ensure pleats are facing downwards and to bend the little wire iin the top to fit the bridge of your nose correctly. Also to prevent your glasses steaming up, put the mask on first and then your glasses over the top of the mask, that way, they will never steam up.

I think the trouble with some of these masks is that they were designed for strapping men and when a woman puts one on it looks incongruous.

I think mine is a bit big too!
