the mid-Atlantic chain’s breezy dresses, stylish sandals and bohemian-chic jewelry are enough to transport you to a tropical resort. The buzzword here is trendy, evidenced by floaty silk rompers and studded leather clutches, but classicists will appreciate the simple cotton tunics and premium denim options. The menswear offerings include summer staples such as light button-up shirts, board shorts and Peter Grimm’s “Depp” straw fedora. ($29.50). 2700 Clarendon Blvd., 703- 807-4083, www.southmoonunder.com.
