The Perfect Mask for Your Astrological Sign

Art by Ricki Kalayci

With the recent addition of masks into your wardrobe, it may feel overwhelming trying to stay true to your style and protect yourself from Coronavirus. Refer to this handy guide to find a mask that reflects your personality based on your zodiac, so that you can feel like yourself while staying safe. 

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Symbolized by the ram, Aries tend to have a closet full of striking pieces. For a mask that reflects your confidence, experiment with a print from Tanya Taylor’s collection. Or check out the Marigold face mask from Miracle Eye, complete with orange tones that reflect your fiery attitude. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 21)

Tauruses tend to appreciate fashion that’s comfortable as well as cute. Check out the ultra-comfy bamboo face mask sold by NxtStop. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

In a mask, a Gemini needs something simple that won’t become obsolete in your ever-changing wardrobe. Aritzia offers an understated style in a variety of fun colors, to match whatever look you’re trying today. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 23)

 A celestial print is perfect for the sign ruled by the moon to mirror your imaginative, intuitive spirit. A great option is the constellation themed mask sold by Unique Vintage.

Leo (July 23 - August 23)

Leos love to be the center of attention and their fashion sense is no exception. For a true one-of-a-kind look, try the glitter mask by The Mighty Company or the metallic masks by ShopBop. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

It's all about simplicity and sophistication when it comes to a Virgo. Masks with muted tones and subtle patterns are going to be your go-to. Check out the ever-classy blue striped masks from Madewell, or the casually cute patterns from Food52. 

Libra (September 23-October 23)

Libras, who are often deemed the most social of the zodiac, may enjoy a mask that acts as a conversation starter. Browse the large selection on RedBubble, and you’ll be sure to find a mask that can attract new (socially distant) friends who share your interests. 

Scorpio (October 23-November 22)

Best known for their passion and rarely one for frills, Scorpios should try a mask as intense as they are. Consider the silk face masks sold by SoftStrokesSilk on Etsy, in a deep green or blue. 

Sagittarius (November 23-December 22)

Also known as the archer, Sagittariuses tend to be very optimistic and adventurous. You need a mask as exciting as you, like the tie-dye one sold by EuphoriaTheShop on Etsy. 

Capricorn (December 22-January 20)

Capricorns are ambitious and goal-orientated. For a practical mask that goes with everything, browse Tom Binh’s simple and effective face masks, in black or a subtle olive green. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 19)

For this outside-the-box air sign, I recommend the wide array of artsy prints sold by FineArtAmerica. Or, for a rare matching moment, try Revolve’s brightly colored scrunchie-mask set. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 21)

The fashion of this water sign tends to reflect their easy-going, free-spirit style. In a mask, look for delicate bohemian patterns, like the floral masks sold by Anthropologie or Free People.
