Are you in the market for some face masks? (Photo: Shutterstock)<\/p>\n
Across the UK, the rules around wearing face masks in public have changed since the virus first swept across the country.<\/p>\n
In Scotland, masks are mandatory both on public transport and in shops. In England, masks are currently mandatory on public transport and will be made mandatory in shops on 24 July.<\/p>\n
With wearing face masks becoming mandatory and now much more normalised in the UK, people have been sizing up their options for stylish face coverings.<\/p>\n
So whether youre looking for something plain black, with a funky design, or designer branded, here are some of the most fashionable face masks on the market.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that none of the masks included in this round-up are categorised as medical grade masks or PPE, but they can help stop the spread of the virus via droplets in the air.<\/p>\n
