However, Miller Lite isn’t the first company to sell clothing with exposed arms. 

Fashion brand Revolve was criticized in March for creating a section on its website for “vaccine-ready” tops, with off-the-shoulder styles selling for between $70 and $300, the New York Post reported.

The page was titled “Shoulders out for the vaccine” and included brands such as Alice + Olivia, Free People and Norma Kamali.
