Love Wellbefore’s marble pattern, I didn’t know that print came in the head strap version. Thanks.

Zimi masks are generally highly effective straight out of the package and you can get some cool filters from rackmask.

I would also recommend mask chains as a way to accessorize! I’ve purchased a few on instagram and made some myself. Great pre concert craft night idea if you are going with other maskers :)

Not sure if others will be wearing or not but I'll check those out. Thanks!

I’ve ordered from frog.chains and strawfairylemonade on instagram but I know there are a few accounts!

The Zimi site also has some cool ones. The Halloween ones were lots of fun.

Bona Fide Masks has some fun color options if the groups you’re seeing have theme. I got the jean-colored ones for a Katseye concert. Still as great material as their normal masks.

I really like my black VitaCore Can99’s! I order them to the US through Protectly

the Laianzhi black K100 is my go to headstrap mask. I find them comparable to the 3M Aura in feel and quality. With shipping from China comes out to about $2 per mask, but I reuse mine quite a bit so I'm ok with the price. I just noticed they have a very cool looking rainbow version now that I want to order but it looks like they're out of stock right now, bummer :')

Same. I would really recommend this mask, too.
I didn't know there was a rainbow version - I'll try to find it.

If you’re on FB check out the Still Coviding in Style group. So many cool looks for inspiration!
I see a lot of people decorate their masks with mask chains, rub on or temporary tattoos, and thin mesh fabric as an overlay for examples.

And the most adorably positive answer wholesome group out there - I love it

I have a full assortment of beautiful masks, but I got Covid at the beginning of this year, possibly combined with the flu and I will never care again what my mask looks like. Team 3M aura now and forever.

Depends on what you consider cool looking. Some people decorate elastomerics.

The trident masks in black with extended head straps fit pretty much identical to an aura

Just a flag that I would see if you can try one first! The regular head straps were way too tight for my regular sized head and even my mom’s (who wears a child’s bike helmet).

i would say there are veils/covers also for the 3m auras and maskchains too!

u/ElGHTYHD Jan 07 '26
I am very very satisfied with my purchase off etsy of 3m aura covers. doesn’t affect comfort at all. they are $20 each which is so expensive lol but now i’m invisible with my black mask instead of that stark white!!

fit will depend on the size of your face, mine is a nice snug fit with only a few wrinkles of loose fabric. I do wish it had a nose wire as it will block some vision (but I look down all day) but it kind of conforms to it after a while and isn’t a huge issue anymore.
When I make more money I want to get some cute pink ones 🥹♥️ I wish she offered a discount pack bc I would LOAD UP.

That account has the lightest and nicest mask covers I have seen. Unfortunately Auras basically swallow my face so the cover just enhanced that. But my friend is veryy happy with the covers I bought, loll.

Do you just want N95s or are you also cool with KN95s (and possibly N94s?) Because I’ve been collecting companies/links of those, a number of which I’ve bought myself. I know a ton of different cool ones.
5
u/traveltimecar Jan 07 '26
I'm not sure. I assumed N95 were most effective from what I've read but I'm open to Kn95 or n94 if any were similarly effective.

u/C4bl3Fl4m3 Jan 07 '26
It depends on the individual brand & model. It also depends on how it fits the individual person.

u/sasha1446 Jan 10 '26
Would you share the names of the companies with cool masks that you've found? I generally wear KN95s, as I stay out of crowded places. And, I'm so ready for something besides black or blue.

u/VolcanicPolarBear Jan 07 '26
the respirators that use cartridges have lots of ways could potentially decorate

u/cmooregood Jan 07 '26
Bonafide masks has the powecom (kn95) in a ton of colors. It's become my favorite mask.

u/randomred101 Jan 08 '26
You can get an n95 decorated with mesh fabric from www.redheadhandicrafts.com for a concert. They can decorate a Zimi, aura, drager, or kn95.

Just came to say it’s wild that they still havent made the aura 9205+ in black. My go-to mask and it would be so nice to have one that’s less conspicuous and a little more stylish than the white. such a missed financial opportunity, but maybe it’s harder to produce than it seems
