Warm weather brings out the best that our area has to offer. While you are spending your evenings drinking craft cocktails in Clarendon, catching an indie flick at Mosaic or browsing local wares in Old Town, you want to have a look that reflects the vibe of the neighborhood. Comfortable shoes and breezy separates are right on trend for springtime in NoVA. –Angela Bobo
