In Vestments

Elijah Clothing

Religion and fashion rarely go hand in hand. (Jesus sandals, anyone?)

But Elijah, the new collection debuting this spring, brings the two a little closer.

Okay, so there are no actual religious overtones. But the soft fabric and flattering silhouettes will convert you to an avowed devotee. Luxurious yet unfussy, the elegant tops and dresses are made from machine-washable, mercerized Swiss cotton. (No more dry cleaning!)

Your soon-to-be favorites include a black dolman-sleeve top; a steely silver racer-back tank with hand-pleated details; and a strappy, loose-fitting dress.

You’ll pray for one of everything.

Just don’t expect a box to miraculously appear at your doorstep.

Available at Wink, 3109 M Street NW, between Wisconsin Avenue and 31st Street (202-338-9465). To see styles, go to elijahfemme.com.
