Pink November

Best for: Finding a dress no one else in Washington will be wearing.

Funky dresses ($120 to $320) reign at Pink November, a shop for those unafraid to take a fashion risk. Both locations carry vintage-inspired and intricately detailed separates by designers like Anna Sui. But it’s the jersey dresses by Rachel Pally and Frenzii that have the strongest following: They fit many body types. Fall styles also include chunky sweaters, big belts, and oversize cardigans.
