A literal hole-in-the-wall on U Street, Junction is a tiny basement boutique that you will probably miss if you aren’t looking out for it. But that would certainly be a shame: An independently owned and operated store that has somehow remained a neighborhood secret, Junction showcases vintage clothes and casual originals from many of D.C.’s best local designers. Offering everything from T-shirts and jeans to ties and boots, Junction always has some great finds for both men and women, and seasonal sales can bring great deals, too. Junction’s owner/operators give the shop a friendly and uniquely local feel – it’s one of those places you won’t want to leave until you’ve browsed every rack in the store, certain you haven’t missed out on the perfect find.
