I think I am guilty of comparing DC to cities of comparable significance (not of size, DC being a fairly small city with about 500,000 residents) like L.A. and N.Y. Â I'm sure the shopping in DC is better than, say, Topeka. Â If you're looking for anything much more adventurous than a navy two-button sack suit I think you may be out of luck in DC, however.I dunno, AC, I wouldn't characterize DC as a wasteland for specialty stores. It's average, no better no worse, than most cities in the U.S. IMO. There are several other metro areas I find much more of a wasteland. A large proportion of the above stores have great merchandise, and most of the proprietors are very friendly and the antithesis of the boutique sales people in the concurrently running thread.
Thanks for the tip, Bryce. Â As a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I rarely cross state lines, so I haven't been to Mazza Gallerie in awhile. Â I'll have to check it out this weekend.By far the best shopping area (for men) is the Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase neighborhood on NW Wisconsin. Â Mazza Gallerie has a Saks Mens Store as well as Neiman Marcus. Â This NM has a far bigger and better selection of menswear than the one at Tyson's Corner, and the two-story Saks Mens Store is also great, if a little on the conservative side. Â There are also some boutiques up the block, as Steve mentioned, including YSL rive gauche.
