Over the weekend, Gigi Hadid stepped out for a stroll around New York City’s Lower East Side neighborhood alongside her newborn daughter. For the occasion, the model wore the ultimate winter weekend outfit, including an on-trend menswear-inspired plaid coat, knee-high boots, and a fuzzy, Louis Vuitton bucket hat. But while the latter will set you back a considerable amount — the luxury brand’s monogram, shearling bucket hat costs $1,100 — Hadid’s coat is (relatively) budget-friendly. Which makes it that much more surprising that it’s still available to buy.
Courtesy of Spanish fashion brand Mango, the knee-length, wool-blend coat costs $150 and is available in sizes M to XL. Size XS or S? The light gray alternative is still fully stocked in every size. To style the outerwear, follow Hadid’s lead and pair the look with cream-colored jeans, matching ‘90s-inspired DMY BY DMY Valentina sunglasses, and a black face mask. Complete the ensemble with accessories in a neutral shade.
Hadid, who spent most of the quarantine (and her pregnancy) at her mom’s farm in Pennsylvania, has only been back in Manhattan for a few weeks. In that time, though, she’s already managed to debut a number of winning looks, including an all-black ensemble topped with a newsboy cap that she wore during a walk with her sister Bella and her daughter, as well as a camel-colored look made up of a sold-out Thom Browne coat and the aforementioned Louis Vuitton hat. In other words, quarantine hasn’t hindered the model’s style in any way.

Fashion has a way of taking our core wardrobe essentials and turning them into statement pieces. Consider the trusty trench coat: originally created to shield soldiers from the elements but, over time, turned into one of the most distinctive utility apparel items a person could own. It's no surprise, then, that the face coverings we've been advised by the CDC to wear for minimizing the spread of COVID-19 have been embraced by the fashion world. Masks may still feel like an unusual addition to our daily routines because of the way they conceal the parts of ourselves that are normally exposed, but that doesn't mean our identities have to be hidden too. By opting for the right print to suit your own aesthetic and making a purchase you know will benefit those in need, wearing a face mask can become more than just our collective responsibility — it can be an entirely new form of self-expression.
"It just felt like there was a need [for a stylish face mask]," says Hillary Taymour, founder of the sustainable clothing brand Collina Strada. "I was wearing brightly colored masks walking over the bridge daily to the studio and it put a smile on everyone’s face. So why not bring that to the general public?" Taymour began producing non-medical face masks in mid-March, drawing on the crafty skills of model and friend Sasha Melnychuk to design something protective yet personal. The final product was a remarkable marriage of motifs featuring Collina Strada's signature ribbons — a fixture of the brand's runway shows — and the vibrant patterns of already available deadstock fabric. "With every purchase [of a Collina Strada mask], you are donating five masks to healthcare workers," Taymour says. "The design just brings a little sunshine during one of the most difficult times we have seen in this lifetime."
Taymour was one of many designers to pivot to non-medical face mask production with the goal of giving back as the coronavirus crisis hit its devastating crescendo. Companies like Reformation and Sanctuary also reacted quickly by organizing local manufacturers to do the same using fabrics from their warehouses. New York-based label Alice+Olivia announced that it would donate 5,000 face masks to medical centers around the country while selling consumer-friendly options online. In addition to equipping customers with the coverings they need, founder Stacey Bendet pointed out a greater purpose of this initiative: "Let's show support for our community and the doctors, nurses, delivery workers, and first responders who are combatting this crisis on the front lines,” she said in a press release. The more non-medical face masks made available to the public, the less of a strain there will be on the medical-grade materials our heroes on the front lines require to protect themselves on the job.
Ahead, we've rounded up a list of fashion brands that are enhancing the process of mask manufacturing with their unique brands of sartorial savoir-faire. Face coverings are a crucial way for us to keep one another safe when we're in public, and they aren't going anywhere. So go ahead and get comfortable with one that speaks to your own style, be that in the form of something upcycled, a badass camo print, delicate florals — even toile, if that's your thing. You do you, as long as you're doing it responsibly.
