Where to Buy Fashionable Face Masks and Sports Masks for Men in Singapore
While we have just entered Phase 2 in Singapore, Covid-19 is far from gone. So, we don’t need to remind you that the moment you step out of your house, wearing a face mask is an absolute must (unless you’re out for a run in your neighbourhood).
Numerous women’s fashion labels have started offering stylish face masks, even ones to match your outfit. But, why should girls have all the fun?
Check out our list of brands that are selling fashionable and sports masks masks for men, that you can easily buy online.
AL.MA.LU
Think stylish face masks are only for women? We think not! AL.MA.LU is a homegrown Singapore brand that ensures men too can be safe with style. Born with the aim of actively supporting the Covid-19 emergency without forgetting about design and fashionability, AL.MA.LU have a range of face masks for men that you’d definitely be proud to flaunt!
Having worked for many years as a celebrity stylist in Milan and Rome, Founder Martina Calabresi brings to her brand a range of artistic expression and versatility in design. You’ll see that seamless stylishness and practicality in her masks too - spread across one of the broadest size ranges we have seen, Man, Woman, Teenager and Kids!
We love how AL.MA.LU customise each face mask for men with hand-embroidered initials! They are also working for large corporations to produce custom-made masks that match with suits or shirts!
The masks for men at AL.MA.LU are mainly 100% Cotton or Poplin. In Italy Poplin is commonly used for high-quality men shirts, and that's why the brand chose to use it for face masks! Poplin fabric is characterised by its distinctive ribbed texture and tightly closed weave. This gives the fabric the lustre that we all love. Worried about mask hygiene when you are eating? Every mask by AL.MA.LU comes in a small satin bag for storage when they are eating or smoking without the fear of making it dirty!
If you need some inspiration, check out this stylish Man Blue Poplin reversible mask that gives you two designs in one face mask so you can match with multiple outfits. The Man Tie Pattern Reversible Denim can be worn with formal and casual outfits alike.
Acala Stem
Did you know that lotus microfibres absorb 7 times their weight in water, dry 3 times faster than cotton and are hypoallergenic and smooth on the skin? If comfort and quick-drying is what you are after we recommend trying the masks by Acala Stem. Made of lotus fibres, a fabric that’s been worn since the 5th century by Buddhist monks and the highest of royalty, Acala Stem's unique organic face masks are both breathable and super-comfortable!
And they are kind to the environment too! The production process of the lotus fibre requires no water, gas, oil or electricity to produce, making it the most earth-friendly fabric in the world! In fact, even the stems are lifted from underwater on a raft and oar.
The outer layer of the Acala Stem face masks is soft organic cotton while the middle layer works with lotus microfibre technology. Creating a static charge, thanks to its 200,000 fibres per inch of fabric, it filters over 4 times more than ordinary cloth and is 20 times thinner than a human hair!*
The fibres are especially breathable and super absorbent for a humid climate such as ours. Worried about chemical dyes? Acala Stem use Dystar dye, a certified Ecotex that contains no heavy metals to produce their signature and unisex colours. Specially designed to fit men’s faces, make sure to choose the ‘Large’ size when you order.
Acala Stem partners with a textile social enterprise in Cambodia which empowers women to work from home with their children in their own provinces, with flexible hours. They’ve already been able to help re-employ 60 women with the growing worldwide demand for these organic face masks.

Why is the Dermacool sports mask good for fitness enthusiasts? Dermacool's fabric is able to handle sweat without getting heavy because it does not hold moisture and dries five times faster than cotton.

Respro Masks
Respro face masks have been manufactured and distributed from the UK for over 20 years with the aim of providing protection from harmful levels of air quality and pollution in urban environments.
In fact, the filter materials used in Respro face masks were primarily developed for military use, thus requiring excellent filtration properties yet at the same time requiring an airflow efficiency that would not impede the user’s activity. This means good breathability so you can use their face masks when undergoing exercise or other activities involving physical exertion.
The valves in Respro face masks are also designed to release heat, carbon dioxide and water vapour - the three components of exhaled breath - from the mask in readiness for the next breath of inhaled air. This results in higher airflows, ensuring comfort even when engaged in heavy sports.
Made from Neoprene material that is resiliently stretchable, it allows the face masks to conform easily to varying facial features, sealing around the face, thus ensuring a good seal and a comfortable fit. Respro face masks come in two sizes to comfortably accommodate 90% of the adult populations - medium and large.
