'Vote' Merch Is Back Again For The 2020 Election

When Michelle Obama appeared at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, not only was everyone moved by her powerful speech, but her necklace — studded in charms with the phrase "VOTE" and designed by ByChari — went viral overnight. Already the necklace's sales have skyrocketed for the Black-owned business, and it's not the only fashion brand that's creating vote merch for the 2020 election.

Brands like Brother Vellies, Levi's, and Outdoor Voices, are releasing their own sartorial attempts to get as much voter participation as possible for the election on November 3 (which is in less than 75 days!). Plus, what's better is that these purchases will not only serve as a friendly reminder to perform your civic duty, but most of these items' sales will be donated towards organizations that are dedicated to making sure voting is as accessible and inclusive as possible, including the ACLU, When We All Vote, I Am A Voter, and more.

Below, we rounded up what's already available to shop so you can add some vote merch to your wardrobe this fall, and we'll be updating this list as we learn more, too.

We only include products that have been independently selected by NYLON's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Levi's

Levi's teamed up with Rock The Vote to release with logo-covered tees and hoodies to help educate and encourage its customers to vote. For the campaign, the brand enlisted Hailey Bieber and filmmaker Oge Egbuonu, as well as a number of activists, scholars, and organizers to spread the news about the upcoming election.

ByChari

Michelle Obama's viral necklace from her appearance at the 2020 Democratic National Convention came from Black-owned jewelry brand ByChari. "I had created a 'Vote' necklace for the last election and knew I was going to do it again," said designer Chari Cuthbert in an official statement. "As we started our outreach, I was honored when Michelle Obama's stylist asked for one and am thrilled she is wearing it!" So far, Cuthbert has sold thousands of necklaces since Obama was spotted wearing it, and you can still get your own, too.

Pyer Moss

Designer Kerby Jean-Raymond collaborated with Sean John for its "Vote Or Die... For Real" tee inspired by P.Diddy's "Vote Or Die" campaign from 2004. Just hours after its launch, the item is already selling out and all proceeds will be donated to Rock The Vote. Alongside the exclusive launch, Jean-Raymond also founded Exist to Resist, a new platform dedicated to social justice.
