America is getting ready for its post pandemic glow-up May 03, 2021, 11:10 AM facebook Taylor Hill/Getty Images America is reopening, and coming out of its pandemic shell could mean an economic boom. It's a glow-up. They're already spending on outdoor activities, transit, restaurants, clothes, and beauty. But America will also look different, and spending in other areas is weak. We don't know what will emerge. America is getting ready for its post-pandemic glow-up. Peak sweat pants have passed and high heels are hot again, in the ultimate symbol of an economy ready to let loose. Americans are booking beauty services, buying going-out clothes again, and readying for a "hot vax summer" as they emerge from lockdown looking and feeling different than they entered, helping the economy roar back to life in the process.
