Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 must-hit stores for January

Typically, January shoppers fall into two categories. You're either still recovering from holiday spending and vowing to stay away from stores until your tax refund comes in, or you've got holiday cash and gift cards burning holes in your pockets and can't wait to get out there.

No matter which camp you fall into, you'll find a visit to these Dallas shops will set the standard for a fabulous shopping year ahead.

7 For All Mankind
This Dallas denim staple is staying in NorthPark Center but moving to level one between Nordstrom and Macy's. As always, you can shop both men's and women's denim and sportswear in addition to shoes, sunglasses, and accessories. This is the brand's only store in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Market
With spring break getaways on the brain, travel wardrobes must be planned. Shop this highly selective boutique for stunning pieces from Alice McCall, Cutler & Gross, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Liya, Maggie Marilyn, Redone, and Victoria/Tomas. The Highland Park Village store, which constantly offers new and exciting designers in addition to more classic labels, is showcasing Dallas exclusives by Goldsign, Jean Atelier, Jourden, and Polly Plume.

Sam's Club Now
This futuristic store, at the corner of Belmont and Greenville avenues, is entirely self-service, where customers can use an app to scan items as they shop. When you are ready to leave and have paid (via the app, of course), a staff member will give you a final nod and you're on your way. This is a one-of-a-kind shop for Sam's, and time will only tell if it will be a hit or a miss.

Scarlet Reagan Gallery + Events
This self-proclaimed "anti art gallery" is the hottest spot to be on Live Oak right now. Owned by artist Kristi Kennimer, this studio acts as a space to display and sell art, as well as an event space for people in East Dallas (and beyond) to host hoppin' parties without absolutely breaking the bank. If you are looking for boring, pretentious, or exclusive space, this is not the place for you. Expect an energetic and welcoming atmosphere that showcases creativity, and frankly, some drop-dread gorgeous pieces.

Tecovas
Although Texans might argue that cowboy boots are always in style, the runways are loving them lately, and this Austin-based brand is owning the trend. The brand has also recently launched a debut denim collection featuring two men's signature styles. The Standard Jean and The Slim Jean are pants designed to fit over cowboy boots. (Genius!) And while both the jeans and boots currently are available online only, they plan to explore brick-and-mortar opportunities in Texas in 2019.

The Pure Company
Is there any better way to get a clean start to the new year than with a fresh living space? Dallas has gone head-over-heels for this hometown company that creates stylish air purifiers and oil diffusers that blend seamlessly with sophisticated spaces. Their Portable Air Purifier is the first ever air-purifier equipped with a built-in aromatherapy feature, and it was named a CES 2019 Innovation Awards honoree. To celebrate the honor, they are offering 10 percent off, sitewide, with the code CES10 through January 14.

Uncommon Man
Head over to Hillcrest Avenue to shop the exclusive Ambrosi trunk show, January 18-19 from 10 am to 6 pm. This Neapolitan trouser brand is one of the most well-known out of Naples and is the epitome of Southern Italian style and luxury. Salvatore Ambrosi himself will be on site, sharing stories of the custom creation process. Appointments are encouraged (but not required), and can be made by calling 972-913-4617.

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 zany new stores to check out

Thrifted Threads

Thrifted Threads chill vibe

With the holidays on the horizon, shopping is on the rise. This November edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new shops, sales, and alternative shopping, has five unique new openings, ranging from fashion to skin care to sports apparel.

The roundup also includes two non-traditional entries, including a new benefits program at an area mall, and a place to get your passport — in case you're planning on shopping abroad.

Here's where to shop in Dallas for November:

Baseballism
Baseball camp that transformed into an off-field baseball clothing brand is now open at Allen Premium Outlets. The store offers baseball-themed clothing, hats, and accessories. Their collection features collaborations with several big league names, including MLB, Babe Ruth, Vin Scully and Field of Dreams. Caps and hoodies are especially popular items, such as the Junior's Silhouette for $36 or the short Sleeve Yankees hoodie for $79.

Firewheel Town Center
Garland shopping center is in the giving spirit with its latest Shop, Dine & Save program. Visitors can shop or dine at select stores, including Buckle, DSW, and Razzoo's, Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen, and receive a $25 Simon giftcard when they spend $150 or more. To get the giftcard, receipts have to be shown at the mall management office and include at least one shop and one restaurant from the same day. The special lasts through November 27.

Hill House
Originally a bedding company that launched in 2016, Hill House has extended their collection to offer home, accessories, baby & kids, bridal, and apparel. They opened a location in NorthPark Center at the end of October — their first in Texas and only their fifth store. Hill House is best known for the "Nap Dress," a flowing dress made for day or night wear. There's also a short version of the dress, such as the Scarlett Long Sleeve Mini, a plaid dress for $188. Just in time for season, they've launched holiday pajamas, featuring pajama sets, robes, and children's sets.

Glossier
Skincare, beauty, and fragrance concept just opened a 1,000 square-foot store at NorthPark Center, featuring its trademark whimsical displays that one might mistake for an art supply or paint store. They sell fragrances, scented skin creams, balms, cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, eyelash curlers, and other beauty products, a little on the pricey side, but they make the shopping experience fun with an immersive shopping experience. That stuff doesn't come for free. This is their 12 location in the U.S., joining Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Rally House
Sports apparel chain opened a location at Rockwall Crossing Shopping Center in Rockwall, with merchandise — headwear, accessories, collectibles — dedicated to Dallas-area teams including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and college teams like the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Texas A&M Aggies. They also offer locally-themed apparel and accessories that celebrate Dallas destinations and landmarks, such as an Uscape Pom Mens Knit Hat with a graphic of the Dallas skyline for $30 or a long sleeve Dallas sweatshirt for $42. This is the 22nd location in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Thrifted Threads
Houston-based vintage clothing reseller just made its debut in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. #620, next to Vidorra. Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023. Deep Ellum is the third. They're known vintage apparel from jerseys to sweatshirts and hats, as well as collections of color-sorted clothes from the 70s to the 2000s. It's more than a store, with arcade games that don't require coins to play, a motorcycle display, and ice cream.

Collin County Passport Office
If you're "shopping" for a passport, a passport office just reopened in the Collin County Courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney. The new passport acceptance office will initially be appointment only, with bookings available through the District Clerk's website. Plans are underway to introduce same-day and walkup services in the near future.
