We realize that money’s tight for a lot of us right now. And while it’s important to save our funds for things like rent, food, health care and the like, it’s also important to help fight COVID-19 and support those affected by the virus. One of the best ways to accomplish such a feat? Shopping.
That’s right, some of our favorite fashion brands are allowing customers to stock their closets while giving back. From luxury fashion houses to indie labels, the selection is pretty stellar. We’re talking statement earrings, stylish jumpsuits, cool sandals and even a celebrity-favorite clutch. Plus, many brands are offering extra discounts to encourage all of us to load up our virtual carts.
We’re not asking you to break the bank, but if you’ve always wanted certain luxury items and can afford to treat yourself, now’s the time to indulge. If you’re on a much more modest budget, there are still plenty of options to shop and still give back.
See the slideshow above for the fashion brands dedicating funds to charities trying to tackle COVID-19 and its effects. We even included our top picks to make your spring a little bit brighter.
Check out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization for the latest information on the virus and learn what you can do to stop the spread.
