Mask chains? Yes!

One of the most promising young US politicians shows how to stay stylish in the era of covid. At 29, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes became the youngest woman ever elected to the US Congress. She came a long way from a waitress to one of America's most promising politicians. Alexandra actively fights against poverty and global warming. Rapper Cardi B wants her to run for president in a few years (but so far her age does not allow) Not only does Alexandria attracts attentionby loud statements (for example, calling Trump a racist), but also with clothes. On her first day in Congress, she showed up in a white suit, paying tribute to the suffragists whose struggles have enabled her to be in politics today.

On her Instagram, Alexandria shares skincare tips and talks about her favorite shades of red lipstick, a characteristic part of her look. She also sets an example for all conscientious citizens by wearing a mask in public and showing that she can become an accent of the image.

Among her favorites is the American brand Second Wind. The brand creates reusable cotton masks with chains to make them comfortable to wear. The brand's goal is to normalize the wearing of masks outside the home and prevent the massive spread of the coronavirus.

In Instagram stories, Ocasio-Cortez showed what the sewing process looks like. “Karen and her sisters (they are triplets!) are working on the Second Wind brand,” she shared. “It’s incredibly important to see what kind of work people put into their clothes and accessories. It doesn't matter if it's a small family business or even fast fashion, most people think their clothes are made by machines. This is not true! Clothes, including those sold by major brands, are created by human labor. ”

All Second Wind masks are handcrafted in a New York manufacturing facility. Prices start at $ 55. And after the visit of the politician, they were completely sold out.

While Trump refuses to wear masks for fear of appearing "weak," US Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi pairs the mask with suits and wears silk scarves instead. And members of the Polish parliament wear rainbow masks to support the LGBT community.
