Modern Citizen

Fabulous local women’s fashion brand run by some of the nicest, most genuine, and hella stylish ladies I have ever had the honor of knowing. I learned about Modern Citizen through a friend last year and was immediately drawn to the elegance, simplicity, and quality of their pieces. All their clothes radiate sophistication and are easily dressed up or down. Above all else, the clothes are SO COMFORTABLE. They put a lot of careful consideration into material choice so that every piece just melts against your skin. I’ve talked with the ladies at length about their material sourcing as well and they strive to responsibly and ethically acquire all their textiles. Furthermore, they take practical living considerations very seriously and so almost all pieces are easily machine washable! Because really, modern living has no time for dry cleaner drop offs.
While MC doesn’t have an official storefront, you can easily make an appointment to visit their showroom on Octavia St. It is a gorgeous space, beautifully decorated, and is a wonderful place to hangout, chat, and have a glass of wine while browsing the products. As I’ve said before, the girls are extremely friendly, helpful, and offer great suggestions on how to wear different things. They also host a slew of fun events throughout the year often in collaboration with other local businesses.
Since discovering MC, I’ve basically replaced everything in my wardrobe (I’m actually wearing one of their dresses in my Unilocal photo!). The prices are very reasonable for the quality and style, and they’re always coming out with new pieces. The ease of wear and durability of the garments has made me feel more «effortlessly fashionable» — I just rolled out of bed and threw this on but no one can tell ’cause I look so darn good ;)
