And somehow, the jockstrap ones aren’t even the ugliest clothes in the show.
New York Fashion Week has debuted an item that salutes the imperative form must follow function in the age of coronavirus: say hello to the jockstrap mask.
A model wore the distinctive piece of apparel Monday as he sashayed down the runway at the week-long event that finished Wednesday.
The novel creation featuring a breathe-through jockstrap mask came from the Dion Lee Fall/Winter 2022 show.
Lest anyone think there was only one color available, a second turn was taken with a model wearing a white jockstrap with appropriately match clothing.
Women were not left out in the pursuit to match clothing with a desire to shield the wearer from the perils of coronavirus.
This is not the first time fashion leaders have tried to add a personal piece of clothing to their face in the interests of warding off infection.
At the start of the pandemic back in 2020 the DIY coronavirus mask made its first debut out of a gym bag.
TV personality Emerson Collins posted a TikTok demonstrating his no-sew mask.
“I made a Jockstrap Mask Tutorial because I’m ridiculous,” the actor said in a tweet sharing the video.
In the clip, Collins demonstrates a simple, three-step method for securing the protective gear to cover the nose and mouth. He then models a variety of looks using the method, showcasing his varied collection.
You’re not ridiculous, sir.
Yes you are.
But you are a minor ridiculousness.

The only threat is that this will increase crime even more.
