Face Shields Have Become The Hottest Fashion Accessory. Shilpa Shetty And Ananya Panday Have Already Given Their Nod
The pandemic shelved regular seasons on the fashion calendar and made every month look like the same. However, it introduced an entirely unique category for new trends that came to be known as quarantine trends that you now need to flaunt to be in the know. We saw the biggest global brands and fashion leaders wielding their styling and designing skills to make the most out of the situation, giving birth to pandemic fashion. This includes debuting fresh fashion categories, new lockdown styles and turning the basic survival tools into runway trends.
For example, surgical masks got a glamorous makeover (think embroidered, sequinned and printed masks) and soon there were accessories that came with it like mask chains. Another protective tool that is extremely effective in keeping you safe from the virus is a face shield. And, as it turns out, it just got elevated to being the coolest fashion accessory of the season.
If you are thinking of the lean and springy travel face covers that you get on the plane, we’d like you to stop immediately. Those are efficient but if you want to level up your pandemic style, you have to take a look at these super chic face shields. These are flattering, non-boring shields that would do the same job while making you look like a space-age fashionista.
