Why care about social acceptability? I wear surgical masks all the time and I've gotten complements and the worst thing I've heard is people questioning why I'm wearing it then I'll either say "because I want to" or "for the fashion" and then thats the end of that.

They would become mainstream a lot sooner if it weren't for the fact that literally NO OTHER RACE other than asian can properly pull of the look. I get second hand embarrassment seeing other races in surgical masks

as far as i can make them up there are four reasons for as facemask
>yellow dust season in south korea
>having a cold to prevent infection of others
>stars hiding their face from paparazzy (maybe because of lack of makeup or to just dont give them good pictures to sell)
>fashion

When I'm with friends and having a cold i wear a medical one. Yes, other people may look but who cares. Healthy friends are more important.

The ones made of cotton may look quite cool but i dont see much use for them.
Keeping of cold: Scarf is better
Dust: not so much, no filters
Infection reduction: same, well at least you dont spit into others faces anymore.

I have korean ones as well as a chinese 1$ knockoff. Korean ones are larger, the fabric feels better and its much more breathable.
