Some General Tips To Know Before Going To The Tailor

• Have one yard more fabric than you think you need if you’re supplying your own
• Avoid wearing heavy/baggy clothes to fittings
• Be realistic with your expectations (know the difference between what something looks like on a model’s body versus your own proportions)
• Make sure to wear the underwear you would wear with that particular piece to ensure that it fits and looks right
• Wear the shoes you would wear with that garment so that your length measurements are accurate
• Be honest during fittings (don’t worry about hurting anyone’s feelings!), it is much harder to change later on once garments have been stitched together and completed
• Give yourself time for two or three fittings
• Know what you want and stand by it, but be open to expert advice

We know that face masks are super important and we wouldn’t want to put ourselves, our loved ones or anyone else in society at risk by going out and about without wearing one. That said, finding one that fits well can make all the difference!

As parents, we need to step out of the house for many reasons and putting on a mask is now second nature, just like grabbing the keys or wallet. As for the kids, those over the age of two are expected to wear face masks in the 852. So what should you look for while buying a mask for different members of the family? Here are some of the best masks for kids and adults and where to buy them.

Disclaimer: Please note that the information in this article should not be treated as medical advice and regular face masks, as mentioned in this article, are not a replacement for hospital-grade personal protective equipment. If anyone in your family is in the high-risk category, please follow your doctor’s or the health authority’s recommendations about masks and protective equipment. Masks are sold out and restocked regularly, check availability for the latest versions.

What To Look For In A Face Mask For Adults?

Needless to say, your top priority should always be safety – for you and those around you. Your exposure to risk will depend on the nature of your job, how much and where you travel to in Hong Kong, underlying health conditions (if any) and more. This will determine what type of mask you might require. Other factors that should influence your decision are:

• Breathability
• Fit: to cover from the bridge of the nose to under your chin (size and comfort)
• Your lifestyle (how active you are)
• Cost
• Environment-friendliness and personal preferences

Fabric masks (even with filters) can be more ventilated and easy on the skin than the disposable, 3-ply surgical ones for running your daily errands. In the COVID-19 era, masks are available in any print and fabric imaginable but when it comes to functionality, not all types of fabric masks are created equal.

It’s kind of a Goldilocks situation. Some cotton masks are too thick which leave you suffocated, damp and sweat absorption even harder. A damp mask equates to more maskne (rather than acne – it’s real, ask your dermatologist!) and more fiddling which defeats the whole purpose of wearing a mask. A mask made in a lighter fabric with perforations to allow a small degree of airflow can feel comfortable, but if you can see daylight through the fibres, it means the weave is too loose and therefore protection is minimal. So you need one that’s just right!

An ideal breathable, protective mask needs to fit like a glove plus have a happy compromise between density and sweat absorption. Do a simple light test – make sure the mask you’re opting for is not too heavy, saggy or too light; preferably a mix of cotton, spandex and moisture-wicking fabric.

For workouts, many people go for the neck gaiters and bandanas to cover their faces but are they effective? Sorry to be party poopers, but when it comes to face masks, breathability is inversely proportional to safety.

What To Look For In A Mask For Kids?

A big worry for many parents is getting smaller children to wear masks and what really works best for them. Neck wraps, K95s, disposable surgical masks, reusable cloth masks, face shields, brackets, the options are plenty. The basics, however, are to make sure the size of the face mask isn’t too large (or tight) for little ones and that the nose and chin are covered comfortably.

For when schools reopen, most have strict instructions on what protective gear pupils need to wear. Some kindergartens have face shield requirements while others prohibit their use, some mandate face masks to be changed every couple of hours, others trust the maturity of (older) children on this. Your best bet is to follow the school rules carefully and then pick a mask that suits your child best.

Size and fit are crucial for little faces. Masks with elastic ties are good because they allow a closer fit. If not, be sure to make a small knot to keep the mask in place. Many kids’ masks also come with ear saver clips that allow the loops to be held together at the back of the head instead of around the ears. This prevents pressure on the ears and the discomfort that comes with a tight ear strap or a toggle that presses down painfully.

If your child is old enough to know how to take off a cloth mask, store it and put it back on correctly, it is a good idea to invest a high-quality reusable one. If your little one is just too little or too excited to be able to handle strict safety protocols, it might be best to use disposable masks and pack an extra one as well. What is absolutely essential is that you prepare your child with proper hand hygiene measures and social distancing protocol.

Do Face Mask Accessories Help?

Face mask braces or brackets are bendable, silicone structures designed to keep the mask from touching your face and claim to solve a load of mask issues: maskne, foggy glasses, a poor fit, suffocation during a workout and even preserving makeup. Talk about date night saviours!

Sounds too good to be true? It probably is. These brackets have big air vents, a T-shape to cover the nose and mouth and small hooks to keep the mask snug and secure. But practically, when you’re on the move, the brackets shift in its place, creating a gap between the mask and the face and undermines the whole safety aspect.

Face shields can be used with a face mask, but not in place of one. Face shields do not prevent droplets spreading, so a mask will always be more effective, but it may serve as an effective barrier (and reminder) for your little one who has a tendency to rub his or her eyes or nose.

The post Where To Buy Face Masks For Kids And Adults In Hong Kong appeared first on Sassy Mama.

We love this time of the year. The kids are out of school, the sun is shining (most of the time!) and you can soak up the vitamin D while enjoying the energetic Hong Kong summer evenings with friends and family. While hopping on a plane to explore new exotic lands is out of bounds (or at least not too easy for the moment), how about injecting a little cheer in the way of some summer style instead? Try out some new family trends, proudly wear your brightest outfits and boldest accessories, and have fun with your look! Here are some accessories that are making a huge splash this summer.

Summer Style: Sandals And Flip Flops

For sassy parents who like to stay ahead of the curve, slip on some on-trend pool slippers. Jimmy Choo’s his and hers Leather Pool Slides will have you looking super chic while on your staycation. We’re also loving the Cuoio Vachetta leather flat sandals with crossover straps for Mama that come in a variety of hot summer tones, and these cut-out-flats by Charles & Keith that won’t put a huge dent in the credit card!

For gender-neutral kids jellies, the burnt orange Sienna Bre sandals by Liewood hit the spot, as do the Dusty Mint Monty sandals. With an easy velcro fastener ideal for little fingers, they’ll be on and off faster than you can say “ice cream!”.

If flip flops are more your thing, try a personalised option for mum and the kids. Head over to Repulse Bay and the Lavulous Workshop. With soles made in Brazil, choose to mix and match soles and straps, then customise with an extensive range of cute and bright charms.

Summer Style: Phone Cases And Lanyards

Instead of holding on to your phone for dear life around the kids (sweaty palms and slippery sunscreen = a recipe for disaster), choose to enjoy a hands-free experience with the latest fashion accessories: the phone case and lanyard.

Kids will love the adorable Park Dogs Lanyard from Cath Kidston, or how about a custom made phone sling with their name on it? Mamas can opt for a chic look if they so wish. We love Celine’s leather phone pouch and the Tory Burch CrossBody. For more colourful options, we’re crushing on these pieces from Cafune, Taizjo and this bright pink case and lanyard combination from Xou Xou that teens can reach for as well! Fun, fashionable and perfect for keeping our smartphones on you or with your kids at all times when out and about.

Dads should look out for the super stylish Tom Ford iPhone lanyard or Coach lanyard. We also love the fun and bright neck-straps that the Barrow phone case and the Dsquared2 phone cases come with! Perfect for hikes or camping trips.

Summer Style: Headbands

Always a staple at Sassy Mama HQ, the headband continues to be one of the most sought-after hair accessories for summer 2021. Ideal for taming sweaty hair! Summer headbands are coming in a number of different pastels, like these gem-encrusted Debutante bands. Bright neon headbands are also having a major moment. Pair this chunky, bright blue silk option from Prada with your summer shorts and T-shirt combo to put some serious zing in your step! Or walk on the wild side with a Leopard print knot headband by Lele Sadoughi.

For beyond cute twinning possibilities (and perfect Insta shots), local brand Tachéri has you covered. Designed for moms and their daughters, these gorgeous headbands are made with comfort in mind. There will soon be a limited collection of must-have neon wide headbands followed by denim, faux leather, pearl-encrusted and other bright coloured options as well. Summer style sorted!

Editor’s note: This post has been written by the founder of Tachéri. 

Summer Style: Gold Jewellery

Nothing sets off a summer glow better than gold jewellery. Think about pairing statement pieces – this chunky bracelet and necklace set from Laura Lombardi is perfect. Or else, classic delicate pieces like simple gold hooped earrings with your sun-kissed skin tones. These clever and versatile Harper + Phoebe earrings at local jewellery brand Sempimimi allows you to wear studs in the day and then add a pendant for a more dramatic look in the evening!

Summer Style: The Visor

Beat the heat and protect your skin with another summer craze, the visor. Make sure to get shielded in style. Whether it’s bright colours or different textures, the visor is seen in many forms this season. Buff has some great sporty options, while you can get a fashion fix with this metallic number from Beachgold. Kids can get in on the action as well, try M&S’s visor cap that is ideal for ages 6 to 13. And we wish this straw visor for tween and teens from Mango came in adult sizes!

Summer Style: Scarves And Ribbons

Whether in silk or cotton, scarves and ribbons are making a major comeback this season and popping up in different places. Think printed, bright and colourful for the summer season – and have fun with how you use them.

Perfect to wear around your head as a band, or as a bow in a topknot. Tie your favourites on your beach or tote bags, while larger fabrics can even be worn as a summer top! For mama, we love this yellow scarf from Zara, this Burberry designer number available at Lane Crawford and this floral print neckerchief by M&S. And no write-up on scarfs and ribbons would be complete if we didn’t mention the gorgeous selection from Hermès (do you have a special birthday coming up, perhaps?).

These scarf scrunchies from Cotton on add a pop of colour to little ponytails and will look super cute twinning with mama (plus, they won’t break the bank)! Guys can get on on the action as well with a pocket square that doubles up as a neckerchief or go all out with a bandana for the beach.

As we head into the hot Hong Kong summer, stocking up on kids’ sunglasses should be at the top of your list. Wearing UV protection sunglasses, especially at an early age, can help protect little eyes from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Did you know that kids’ eye lenses allow 70% more UV into their retina than the adult eye? Hence proper eyewear is extremely important for children, as well as adults, and can help to prevent certain issues related to the sun. As the eye lens cannot repair itself, prevention is the best cure, so start protecting little eyes as soon as you can! To help, we’ve rounded up several of this year’s favourite sunglasses for your entire family.

While safety is key, youngsters can still look super cute in their sunnies with these top picks of kids sunglasses in Hong Kong. Take a glance at this year’s hot looks for Sassy parents as well, along with stores for prescription sunglasses. While there are loads of cool options out there, we’ve whittled down the list to these faves. Enjoy fun in the sun with your sunnies at the ready!
