After months of waiting and wondering, t-shirt enthusiasts can relax now that American Apparel (11th/F St. NW) has opened in the District. The store has been open less than two weeks, but given the clientele over the weekend we suspect some sort of blast fax was sent out in the hipster community.

American Apparel began as a t-shirt company, but has since expanded its line of clothing for men, women and children to include everything from gold lamé string bikinis to sweet white baby bibs. The store features a floor-to-ceiling Technicolor rainbow of t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, skirts and pants of thin jersey material — ideal for layering.

In addition to modern shapes and styles (like t-shirts long enough to camouflage low-rise denim-induced plumber’s crack), the store also resembles what we imagine the wardrobe department at “Three’s Company” might have looked like. Members Only-esque windbreakers, tube socks, pastel briefs, super short ’70s style athletic shorts, terry headbands and wristbands — you can as easily outfit yourself for a night at the bar as an afternoon roller-skating date.
