23 Halloween Face Masks That Keep You Safe & Spooky

Halloween is almost upon us, and it stinks that we can’t all trick-or-treat or party the way we would in normal, COVID-less times. Still, if you’re feeling festive and want to dress up at home, you can get creative with costumes, all the way down to your face mask.

Because no, you don’t get a day off from wearing a mask. That wouldn’t be safe, so don’t even consider it, unless your Halloween get-together is totally on Zoom. The CDC recommends that if you do go out, wear a cloth mask and not a costume mask over a cloth one since that can make it harder to breathe.

Thanks largely to Etsy and Amazon, there are a ton of breathable, reusable face mask options that will complement any costume. Time’s running out before this holiday hits, so we did some digging to find cloth face masks that are playful, pretty, and available for order ASAP. Many can be worn again, either for everyday or on future special occasions. Below, a round-up of our favorite masks on the market along with costume ideas that range from the abstract to the bold. Have fun!
