Masquerade Masks

How to choose masquerade masks

Start with the event and your outfit. A formal masked ball calls for a Venetian or sequin mask, while a Mardi Gras or costume party leaves room for color and fun. This is a small collection, so it is easy to compare every style before you decide.

Venetian and sequin styles

For a classic look, there is a silver Venetian mask, a black and silver sequin Venetian mask with feathers, and a silver sequin mask with black trim. A silver netted mask and a red masquerade mask round out the dressier options. Silver and black go with most formal wear, and the red mask adds a single bold color to a black outfit or suit. If you are going with a partner, choose two masks in the same color family so your photos look like a set.

Mardi Gras, domino and party styles

For a party, try a Mardi Gras mask, a striped Mardi Gras mask, a parade mask or a green domino mask. Domino masks cover the area around the eyes, so they are easy to wear with almost any costume. The white satin harlequin mask suits a clown, jester or theater look. There is also a lion mask, and a masquerade Ghost Face mask that comes in medium and large, which mixes a formal mask with a horror twist. Ghost Face fans can find more in Ghostface and Scream costumes.

Fit and wearing tips

Masquerade masks are often worn for hours, so try yours on before the event. Make sure the eye openings line up and you can see clearly, including to the sides, and breathe easily. Check the product page for how each mask is held in place and for any size notes. Bring the mask to the event in a bag or box so feathers and sequins do not get crushed.

What to wear with your mask

Formal wear is the simplest choice. For a themed party, pair a mask with an outfit from 1920s flapper and gangster costumes or Renaissance and medieval costumes. Most orders ship within 1 to 3 business days.
