DC has really come into its own over the past few years. Among the exciting changes is the influx of shopping that can be found throughout the city. No longer can outsiders claim that there’s no place to shop in the Nation’s Capital. Here are 5 great places to shop in DC.
1. Billy Reid – 3211 M St NW, Washington, DC 20007
Billy Reid opened up in Georgetown a little over three years ago. Not only did Reid bring high quality American designs to DC but created a beautiful shopping space in the heart of Georgetown. The clothing selection runs the full gamut from upscale basics to made to measure suiting. Why shop there? Great statement pieces/Interesting collaborations (check out his K-Swiss).
2. Suit Supply – 2828 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20007
Whoever says the suit is dead has 1. never been inside a Suit Supply and 2. forgets that Washington is full of lawyers, lobbyists and Hill workers who for them a suit is business casual. Suit Supply offers a great selection of suits in a variety of fabrics and fits that are really stylish for today’s working man. What’s great is their selection has a very modern appeal at around the same price point of many of the local department stores. Why shop there? Suit selection and fast tailoring (sometimes as quick as one day)
