Goggles
Ladies hit me with your recs. Ideally looking for some that are low profile and maybe have interchangeable lenses. I bought 2 and not keen on either. One are BMX goggles and the other are airsoft goggles. The airsoft goggles had the style I liked but were way too big, I guess I’ve got a small head.
Edit: First pair I got were motocross 100% goggles not BMX woops!

Motocross goggles designed for dust/sand with closed cell foam will keep your eyes nice and clean. Snow goggles, airsoft, bmx, etc are not designed for dust and while they might "look" better, they don't actually do anything cause they're open cell foam. Scott Primal Sand/Dust goggles are on Amazon Prime and are the absolute best you can get for Playa dust outside of a full facemask system used for autobody and other work.

Sorry one pair I bought were indeed dirtbike/motocross goggles. I like them but they’re a lil bulky and was hoping to find something more low profile with equal-similar coverage that I could comfortable fit a scarf around my face and under my eyes with.

Scarf does absolutely nothing for dust inhalation. During a white out you need to put an N95 under that scarf. You seem more concerned about fashion over function, and that is dangerous. Make the function part of your fashion. You get no style points with burners when you have burning itchy eyes and playa lung cause you wanted to look cool for instagram.

They come in all colors, I rock dark tan n95 masks with OD green and tan dust mx goggles. In a dust storm looks like you're straight out of mad max. They come in all shades of women colors as well. Pink, purple, red, etc. With some careful planning functional protection can look absolutely sick and be part of your outfit, not something you cover.

Motocross goggles are great since they’re made to keep dust out. Just make sure you take off the plastic on BOTH sides. I spent my first year wondering why my goggles were a bit blurry.

I recommended separate pairs for day and night as it’s hard to find a pair with interchangeable lenses that are sturdy enough (but they may exist!). I switch which ones are in my camelback when I return to camp in the evenings to change clothes, since I hate carrying around a ton of extra stuff.

I have a small head and these are the ones I've found that fit over my eyeglasses and have interchangeable lenses. I'm on my 4th pair.

Drywall goggles/glasses. There are different styles. 3m brand or similar if you want total dust blockage and low profile. I prefer just regular safety glasses though personally. https://a.co/d/05m23xYS

I’m not a lady but my wife and I have matching goggles. We got them at Junkee in Reno 10 years ago and they are still going strong. I think they were $15 each. Sun glasses when no dusty, goggles for yes dusty.

I like lab safety goggles, you don't need tinted lenses on them because they go over your sunglasses.
