Believe the Hyph

Hyphennation Clothing

You have no idea what a gerund is. You get totally confused by semicolons. And you wouldn’t know a participle if it was dangling right there in front of you.

But here’s one thing you can get right: Hyphennation. A fresh-looking line of clothing by a Canadian duo that’s totally wearable and ridiculously easy to grasp.

Made of lightweight cotton in pretty pastels, the pieces are perfect for springtime lounging. The Ocean Foam dress is light and flirty, with a wrap skirt and delicate sash at the waist. The Tide Swimmers top gets straight to the point with printed dots and ties at the shoulders. And the Tide Circle dress is short and sweet.

Incorporating them into your existing wardrobe vocabulary is a cinch, because all the pieces flow together effortlessly.

Unlike your run-on sentences.

Available at Nana, 1528 U Street NW (202-667-6955).
