Masks

There was a post about this a couple of months ago, and the answer was to keep it medical-grade or muted, but I'm wondering if opinions have changed. I'm going to go back to the office soonish and want to make some masks to be able to wear to work. (My current masks are basically made from old pajama pants so they're less than professional.) essay writer

What are the preferred colors/styles? Depending on environment (mine will be financey).

So far, I have made a floral pattern, a brownish herringbone, and I'll probably make a plain black/gray/navy one or two. Do I need to stick to solids? Or can I mix patterns? How much does my mask need to match my outfit? Can I just use elastic for the ears or do I need to make that fancy too?

If this isn't a troll, let me give a good answer:

Over the summer I was lucky enough to get some time in the office.  Everyone wore one of the following:

a. Surgical masks

b. Neck gators

c. One kid wore a patterned cloth mask (but he didn't get a FT offer)

Take that as you will.  I'd stick with the most bland, blend in mask possible either a gator for comfort or a surgical mask for being super basic.

I have always, and will always refuse to integrate masks into my style. Will stick to the blue Duane Reade masks until this bullshit is over.

Dude, are you trying to waste money? Duane Reade is a ripoff for ANYTHING! Just order 50 packs off of amazon. It's something like $8 for 50 masks.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Haha I was more making a point that I will only stick with the blue masks. But yes the lady has actually been making moves on amazon for masks now so you're actually totally right.
