One of the most important pieces of information that we’ve learned during the COVID-19 pandemic is the effectiveness of wearing a mask. And after nearly 7 months of quarantining, the world is starting to resume a semblance of “normalcy” with many travelers back on the road and getting back on board flights — with their masks in tow.

While there are those that may still be hesitant to travel, a new military-led study unveiled Thursday should hopefully put many at ease. Studies show there is a low risk for passengers traveling aboard large commercial aircraft to contract an airborne virus such as COVID-19, if everybody does just that. Because wearing a mask works.

And with a plethora of mask options on the market, choosing the right one should be the least difficult decision you have to make all year. So if you’re looking for new options, we’ve outlined a few below that are equal parts stylish and functional.
