You may have already gotten rid of your old face masks after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended lifting mask mandates for fully vaccinated people a few months ago, but now it's time to stock up again. In recent weeks, the CDC released new guidance for fully vaccinated people to wear masks in areas with high transmission rates. The same recommendation was also given to students from kindergarten through 12th grade, even if they are fully vaccinated.

When the first mask mandate came down at the beginning of the pandemic, Etsy sellers quickly stepped up to the plate to provide affordable options and still do just that. Fortunately, several popular fashion brands have also done the same.

If you're looking for fabric face masks from well-known brands, here are 21 options from companies you know and love.
