COVID-19 fashion at its finest…
Face masks have definitely become a regular part of everyday life ever since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, with the coveted facial accessories impossible to avoid on the occasional grocery run.
They’ve sold out absolutely everywhere, with resale sits such as StockX observing a 75% increase in overall mask sales and a whopping 167% increase in mask spending.

No doubt the post COVID-19 world will be interesting to say the least, let’s hope we get to see it real soon…
