Mask chains are the stylish (and practical) accessory to keep your face masks in place

As we continue to embrace wearing face masks daily, retailers are releasing more comfortable fabric options than ever, and even face mask accessories are becoming a thing we never thought we would need.

While you can already shop for face mask extenders, clear face masks and sneeze guards, the newest face mask accessory continues to pop up on my Instagram feed. Part Croakies (the popular strap used to keep on sunglasses), part necklace, face mask chains are the latest genius accessory for everyday mask wear.

Big box retailers have yet to catch onto the mask chain trend, but I’ll bet you’ll be seeing them everywhere in Target and Walmart soon. For now, there’s some super creative Etsy sellers who are making chic mask chain options.

When you browse through the mask chains on Etsy, you’ll find a mix of materials. Some options include gold links, beads, acrylic chains and more. Also known as face mask lanyards or holders, you can opt for simpler versions, too, that don’t necessarily look like a piece of jewelry.

Not only are these chains an added accessory, but they’re also practical. If you’re in a position where you’re able to freely take your mask on and off, the mask chain allows you to take your mask off without having to put it where it will be at risk for extra germs. Instead of holding it in your hands, your purse or your pocket, the chain does the trick.

Because we’ll be wearing masks for the unforeseeable future, a mask chain is worth the investment. Luckily, we’ve rounded up our favorite mask chains from Etsy below, and they’re all under $20.
