44 Chic Fashion Items That Promote Getting Out the Vote
It's true that politicians and the media refer to every election as "the most important election of our time," but it actually is this time. If you pay attention to the news and/or social media, you know the many reasons why. It's easy to feel hopeless and confused during these unprecedented times, but it's better to feel motivated and energized, which is infectious. The most important thing you can do in 2020 is vote, and in turn, encourage others to do the same. If you've scrolled through your Instagram feed lately, you've probably seen plenty of celebrities and fashion brands doing their part to drive that point home.
National Voter Registration Day was a couple of weeks ago, and with that came tons of new merchandise celebrating and encouraging the right to vote, and much of it happens to be very stylish.

Keep scrolling to shop them all, and I strongly encourage you to order your favorites ASAP, as election day is coming up quickly and many of the items are flying out of stock.
