Now that we’re nearly a year into the pandemic, most people realize that your mask is a major part of your look. That can leave you wishing for some reasonable meeting of function and fashion.

As you probably know, N95 masks are the gold standard, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that they be reserved for healthcare workers and medical first responders. A KN95 offers similar protection, though. Even still, not all KN95 masks are created equal. Some are granted a coveted emergency use authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration, making them the ones to buy. But, of course, they’re hard to find.

Well, heads up: Amazon currently has the FDA-authorized WWDOLL KN95 masks in stock. These EUA masks have another added perk beyond that very important distinction: While most KN95 masks are white, stark, and devoid of style, the WWDOLL mask (wait for it) comes in basic black.

WWDOLL masks have five layers of protection: two layers of non-woven cloth, two layers of melt-blown fabric, and one layer of hot-air cotton. (The inner layer absorbs moisture from your breath, wicking it away from skin.)

The masks have a 3D design that accommodates the shape of your face for a snug fit. Elastic ear loops and a metal adjustable nose bridge help make sure your mouth, nose, and chin are well covered. The masks filter out 96.1 percent of particles, putting them on par with N95s.

People swear by the WWDOLLs in the reviews. “Sturdy construction, more quality appearance than other KN95 masks selling for less,” one five-star reviewer wrote, noting that it “looks great with professional uniforms.” Another likes “how tight fitting it is.”

“The mask itself is comfortable. I immediately did a candle test to see if I could make the flame flicker by blowing on it through the mask. No way! There was no movement of the flame at all even when I did a forceful attempt to blow it out,” a happy customer wrote.

One happy customer declared this the “perfect KN95 face mask,” adding, “Very nice price!”

You can say that again. Right now, you can snag a 50-pack of WWDOLL masks for $70. So, whether you’re looking for coverage for yourself or your entire family, you can be protected—and fashionable—clad in basic black, for the foreseeable future.
