Stylist speaks 

What started in COVID-19 as a precautionary measure has now become a daily and necessary requirement. So, it is natural that masks, bandanas and scarves have become a part of daily fashion. If you are looking to style it up, here are my tips.

>> Choose breathable, organic fabric like cotton, linen, and hemp that is functional and fashionable.
>> Pair suitable eyewear with a headscarf and cap.
>> Avoid synthetic and clingy material for masks. Polyester can be difficult to breathe through over longer hours.
>> Be experimental with colours. Lighter pressed colours are a suitable choice. But the key is to choose the right material.
