This mask's design is best described as "party in the front, business in the back." thanks to the metallic chainmail covering that gives it a veil-like appearance. Beneath that, though, is a legit cloth mask that actually covers your nose and mouth. And as if rocking a disco ball panel on your face isn't quite enough, rest assured: there's also crystal embellishments on the edges and metallic chain ear loops.
