Celebrating Washington s classic icons, fashionable duos, style ingenues and trendsetters

Washingtonians spend a lot of time and money getting the right look together — this is important when one

has to "see and be seen." While New Yorkers and Parisians might disagree, WL knows this city has style - we

see wonderfully dressed people on the scene wherever we go. With the help of our FIVE FAB STYLE MAVENS

here's our ode to the individuals who make Washington a world class style capital.
