20 Aussie-Made Face Masks That Make Your Health And Safety A Fashion Statement

Coronavirus is shit. It’s also unpredictable and rules around wearing face masks in public are changing — right now Sydney has just been asked to wear them on public transport again, and Melbourne has been asked to wear their masks outside the home for a while.

So basically, listen to the scientists and just wear them, yeah?

However, not being a dick, keeping everyone safe and following the rules doesn’t have to be a dull thing. No honey, face masks are the biggest accessory since 2020 and there are plenty of places that will help you turn a health and safety measure into your own personal fashion statement.

For obvious reasons, I’ve mostly focused on some local Melbourne and Sydney manufacturers, but they can be ordered from all over Australia.
