A mask may not be the most exciting Father's Day gift idea, but it is a practical gift that shows how much you care. A nice mask is one that helps him stay safe and isn’t an eyesore. As we live through hot and humid weather, he’d want something as breathable as possible.
Dharushana Muthulingam, MD, MS, an infectious disease physician and public health researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, recommends cloth masks that find a happy medium between fabric density and comfortability. “Aim for compromise to get ‘good enough’ protection that also lets some amount of air in to make wearing the mask tolerable.” Dr. Muthulingam tells Vogue. Luckily, plenty of brands are producing good-looking masks made from lightweight cotton and performance materials.
