So, what are the best new fashion trends in face masks this fall? Our correspondent Julie Chang Murphy has curated a list of the best luxury fall face masks to buy in fall 2020.

Typically, at this point in time, we’d be stocking up on the latest fall fashion trends as the weather cools and we rotate out our summer dresses and sandals for jackets and boots. I don’t know about all you other fashion types out there, but I’m kind of happy in my loungewear sets for the remainder of the year. One area that does need an upgrade? My face mask. In New York, we’ve been wearing them since March and it’s a truism that you can never have too many. 

For the fall, we’re switching out the pastels, the ditsy florals, and the just plain ragged, for some newness. With gyms opening, we’ve got some workout friendly materials from our favorite activewear brands. There are the autumnal colored and seasonally relevant themed masks (Halloween, but also Election Day!) And most importantly, buying a new face mask naturally lends itself to supporting important causes so we’ve included some beautiful ones that are sustainable, or designed by black designers, or support important charities. 

Scroll down for 20 of our favorite luxury face masks this fall.
