And Olivia Palermo is finding ways to make masks a true statement piece in her summer outfits, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge through the country.

Olivia paired a white satin midi skirt with a black blouse that featured white cap sleeves and a white trim. 

She kept the white note going as she wore dazzling high-top sneakers in a white and beige color. 

For a bright pop of color, she wore a bright geometric patterned neck scarf that doubles as a face mask and wore a mask filter underneath for added precaution.

The rest of her face was covered in large butterfly style sunglasses. 

Mixing patterns and color, she also carried a snakeskin box-style handbag in hand, while her phone was in the other. 

She has been flaunting her stylish and pandemic approved outfits along New York City streets in recent weeks.

In April, Olivia shared tips with her social media following on how to stay stylish, while also helping to slow the spread of COVID-19.

‘Safety, but make it fashion,’ she captioned a picture of herself walking around in a chic yellow t-shirt, matching trainers and a furry coat.

She urged: ‘Get creative with your closet and make your own covering and leave the professional masks to the healthcare workers.’

Olivia ended the caption of the outdoor snap with: ‘Thankful to everyone helping on the frontlines on #worldhealthday and please #stayhome if you can!’

Olivia’s post was met with mixed, as many followers deemed her message irresponsible.

‘Forget about fashion,’ one wrote, while urging others to simply wear surgical or cloth masks.

Another sarcastically commented: ‘Considering the shortage of food supplies and those who lost their jobs, a promotion of $800 boots will definitely make people feel better.’

Despite the initial controversy, Palermo has continued to share images of herself making use of her expansive collection of chic handkerchiefs.
