Common Ground

Your street cred is so low, you thought Stussy was “stuffy” misspelled. And the only deck you own is on the back of your house.

Before you lose any more face, seek solace at Commonwealth, the new Florida Avenue boutique that stocks all kinds of street and athletic wear, with plenty of skater gear thrown into the mix.

An offshoot of the Norfolk, Virginia, original, the store shows its roots (hometown of Missy, Pharrell, and Timbaland) with a groovy but totally wearable selection of threads. Pick up tees by Acapulco Gold, Edwin jeans, Keep shoes, limited-edition Nikes, and accessories from Comme des Garçons. You’ll also flip for new pieces from Greedy Genius, Hellz Bellz, and Maharishi.

One trip should be enough to get your hipster stock on the rise.

Or at least to teach you that shredding isn’t just something you do to Gruyere.


Commonwealth, 1781 Florida Avenue NW, between 17th & 18th Streets (202-265-1830 or cmonwealth.com).
