The Chicest Designer Voting Merchandise to Rock for the 2020 Election Season
The 2020 American presidential election has been the topic of conversation for what feels like years, and with election day less than a month away, fashion brands are stepping up to provide stylish voting merchandise to wear to the polls (or to mail in your absentee ballot). In the past year, we have seen more bands than ever move toward social and civic engagement, from addressing its role in climate change to now working to increase voter turnout. Most recently, Louis Vuitton closed Paris Fashion Week with a statement sweater urging people to vote.
With stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Kith setting up voter registration booths at their brick-and-mortar locations, fashion and politics have never been closer. A number of designers and brands have also created pieces to encourage their communities to get out and vote, teaming up with non-profits like When We All Vote and the I am a Voter campaign. Here, we've rounded up our favorite voter merchandise to wear proudly this election season.
