I like to shop, but this is not exactly what I meant by being fashionable! However, while we were in town on Wednesday we stopped into the farmacia and they had masks back in stock, so we bought 2 each.
One is the cloth syle and the other is the N94 (they did not have the N95 but we were told that these do pretty much as good of a job).
I have to admit, neither is very comfortable to wear. Thank goodness we do not go out that often!

But simple surgical masks or homemade masks? The scientific research to date suggests they do a much better job of protecting other people from you than protecting you from other people. Source
