Stay Stylish With Korean Mask Fashion
4 Mask Design to Elevate Your Fashion
While the topic of face masks has drawn up a lot of controversy in the West side of the world, the idea of wearing a face mask in the East has long been an accepted notion in society. With the pandemic in place, the use of face masks are popularized for safety reasons, allowing people to protect themselves and others from viral infections. In the East however, the face mask served more than just one function, that being that it was often used as a fashion symbol and accessory. In Korea in particular, the rising popularity of face masks being worn starts rather young - with many middle schoolers sporting them as a way to look cool and mysterious. The use of masks is so ingrained in society, it is not surprising that this essential item has been converted to a fashion item worn by everyone.

Here are our tips for staying stylish with Korean mouth masks!
4 Mask Designs to Complement Your Style
Animal Face
Korean society often steers towards aesthetics that are generally more cute and youthful, compared to the west’s desire for sexy and mature. Due to this nature, symbols and illustrations associated with cuter implications are widely sought after. This can be seen in their clothing style and light color scheme choices. With that in mind, adorable faces that seem to replicate the bottom half of cute animals are popular designs found in Kpop face masks. An example of this can be seen through the widely popular trend of the Sakun Kpop mask. First seen worn by Kpop group Big Bang members, this Kpop face mask sported animal-like teeth as its main design. This spurred a number of similar animal face Kpop mouth masks designs that continue to be worn by trendy Korean youths of today.

Lace Mask
A little lace never hurt anybody. Incorporating lace can be a subtle but sexy way of adding detail to your Korean face mask.

Whether it is a Kpop mask overlaid in lace, or a Korean facial mask that is just lined in lace, the detail will surely give your face mask an edge.
