Reader Suggested: I grew up in DC and went away for college. I never had any plans of coming back, but Nana almost single-handedly changed that. I have always been fashion-minded, which is not always an easy state of mind to possess in DC, but things have started to change. Jackie Flannigan's store Nana has greatly contributed to that change. The clothes are stylish, but frequently a little funky, and...

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/santa_monica/post_26_1_web.jpg
For not a particularly large space, Post 26 does well to capture the sprawling LA fashion scene. For a city were comfort in clothing is still paramount, they're sure to carry soft, basic tees. For the hip, edgy LA are boisterous frocks and serious, almost avant-garde pieces from small New York designers. As a nod to classic Hollywood glamour, find hand-picked vintage from Dior, Chanel and...

The vintage shop eschews the dowdy and the drab for the fun and the fabulous. Browse colorful pumps, swishy skirts, and bold print dresses. Need a breather? Head towards the...

The era that begot unforgettable music and historical political movements didn't exactly have timeless fashions. Silver Moon is one vintage clothing shop that leaves the bell-bottoms and polyester blends to those ten thousand other vintage and instead focuses on the era where cotton and lace was queen.

That is, vintage clothing that does not look out of place next to today's hippest fashions. There are plenty of nice, everyday clothing such as denim, T-shirts and tops. But the premium items are...
