Ralph Lauren is channelling the look of its iconic polo shirts into sets of face masks, which are expected to launch in the next few months.

The American brand has designed two types of face coverings; a cloth mask and a high filtration mask.

The former comprises anti-microbial treated cotton that helps prevent bacteria from getting inside your mouth, while the latter has a filter attached, which can filter up to 95 per cent of the particles in the air. The filters can also be removed and fitted with new ones.

The best part about the Ralph Lauren masks is that they're offered in a slew of cool materials, and they all feature the brand's iconic polo logo.

And these are masks with a conscience: 50 per cent of the price of each mask will be donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO, which was established in the wake of the pandemic.

Ralph Lauren isn't the only brand to have designed face masks; Vampire's Wife, DSquared2 and Rixo are just three of the other labels who are also now selling chic face masks.

While a date for the Ralph Lauren masks is yet to be announced, they're expecting to launch in autumn. Sign up for more updates here.
