Fashion spread: How to look stylish with a mask

Just because we have to mask up does not mean we have to dress down. Here's how to make a style statement while doing your civic duty.

Heavy metal
Good news for the short-sighted and those who just enjoy accessorising with non-prescription eyewear. Oversized glasses are a striking look that helps to keep your mask in place. Cotton jacket and shirt, from Versace. Metal optical frames and eyewear chain, from Gentle Monster.
Hair apparent
With half your face covered, it’s time to let your crowning glory do the talking. Add a snazzy print for added impact from the neck down. Wool sweater, from Dior. Metal optical frames, from Giorgio Armani.
Be bold
You know that dulling sense of mask-induced anonymity? It doesn’t stand a chance against stylishly slicked-back hair and statement sleeves. Silk crepe dress and gold ring, from Givenchy.
Go Red
With the current state of the world, pulling on your brightest looks is a great way to uplift yourself and the people around you – one metre away from each other, of course. Cotton jacket and tee, from Givenchy.
A Sight to behold
Now that lipstick is barely an option, statement eyes with graphic liner are having a moment. Give the edgy look unexpected contrast with a tousled updo and a timeless tweed jacket. Tweed jacket, lace blouse, gold ring with diamonds, gold ring and gold mini ring, from Chanel.
Knotty business
Dress from the neck up with a shirt that has its own jaunty scarf. Bonus: wear it during Zoom calls to give your work associates something fun to look at. Leather jacket and cotton shirt, from Hermes.
Refined fusion
We all need an occasional, much-needed distraction in tough times. Channel the Wild West and can-do spirit of the era’s frontierswoman with a leather bustier that is feminine and tough all at once. Leather bustier and cotton blouse, from Tod’s. Rose gold Tiffany ring with diamonds, rose gold ring, rose gold bangle with diamonds, and yellow gold bangle with diamonds, from Tiffany & Co.
Smooth operator
Now that the circuit breaker and DIY crew cuts are behind us, consider going to the other end of the spectrum by working an on-trend, slicked-back style. Suede jacket, cotton shirt and leather camera pouch, from Ermenegildo Zegna.
