Browsing through our recent copy of People, DCist noted a brief article on Jonathan Cheban’s trendy tees that the likes of Nicole Ritchie, Lindsey Lohan and Ms. Paris herself own. Cheban, a celeb-connected networker, has leveraged his connections into a high-profile PR career and recently partnered with notorious publicist Lizzie Grubman. Now, Gawker isn’t overly fond of Cheban and the Post ran a rather lengthy piece highlighting his obsequious buzz techniques a few months back, but these tidbits are just background noise to DCist (ok, we admit that Gawker does give us a chuckle). What we really noticed was that his t-shirt line is dubbed Clarendon.

D.C. — You see the connection now?

Clarendon residents can now sport a tee bearing the name of their neighborhood and be fashionable to boot. The line’s bonus? Even when a Clarendon tee is not an “it” tee — and face it, if People is discussing the brand it’s pretty much on its way out as far as trends go — D.C.-area residents can still wear them shamelessly. And longevity is key when the shirt can set you back $55-plus. But with the unique designs and the relevant name the investment might be worth it. We know some of you are t-shirt aficionados and we expect to see a few of Cheban’s trendies bopping around Arlington any day now.

Now we’re waiting for a Bethesda line. And perhaps Petworth? It’s like taking the “been-there-done-that t-shirt” concept to a microlevel.
