In light of certain recent events, now seems like a good time to remind everyone of the importance, and effectiveness, of wearing a face mask. While they remain the hottest (and most important) accessory as we enter fall, there’s a new crop of masks that better reflect the season. After all, you don’t want your summer masks, in all their light, airy fabrics and palettes, clashing with your fall wardrobe — what a fashion faux pas! So now that you find yourself in the market for a seasonally appropriate mask, below are 15 of the best for the fall ahead.

These masks are made from either 100% cotton or a 60/40 cotton-poly blend, and each one features a flexible metal nose piece (so you’ll no longer have to constantly be adjusting it) as well as an inner filter pocket for those days when you just want a little extra protection.
