Top Shops for Fall

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 8 must-hit stores for September

We've already begun dreaming of cool weather and cashmere sweaters, so we're ready to stock up for fall. This month we're revisiting some of our favorite stores and anticipating the haute new boutiques opening later this month. Here's our list of where to shop in September:

Alton Lane
This swank boutique, scheduled to open September 13 at Rosewood Crescent Court, aims to change the way Dallas men shop. The comfortable and clubby store uses 3D body scanning technology to create custom clothes in premium fabrics, from shirts ($89 to $500) to suits ($595 and $10,000).

Brunello Cucinelli
You don't have to travel far for a taste of Italy, thanks to Brunello Cucinelli opening at Highland Park Village on September 18. Get a taste of European elegance with Cucinelli’s rich cashmere, palazzo pants and soft knits.

Forty Five Ten
Don’t miss out on Forty Five Ten’s exclusive collection of vintage couture from Decades 21st Century resale store in Los Angeles. We have our eye on classic Yves Saint Laurent and Hermes silk blouses perfect for layering in the fall.

Kate Spade
The recently opened Kate Spade boutique is making a splash on Knox Street with the designer’s classically bold handbags, wallets, clothing and accessories. This is the second store in Dallas (behind NorthPark Center), but we like the Knox Street locale for its proximity to Knox-Henderson’s other top-notch retailers.

Piermarini Boutique
We always appreciate owner John Piermarini’s efforts to bring hot new designers into his store. This month he’s showcasing the edgy-chic likes of Dallas designer (and former Project Runway finalist) Mila Hermanovski, Lot78 and il by Saori Komatsu. On our wish list? An LBD by Hermanovski.

Steven Alan
Just in time for fall, Steven Alan’s first Texas boutique just opened on buzzy Knox Street. Dallas’ best dressed can now shop Alan’s well-edited collection of modern and classic brands, including Edith A. Miller, Band of Outsiders and A.P.C., plus his own designs.

Tom Ford
Doors are set to open September 12 on this new boutique in Highland Park Village, where Ford fans can shop for clean-lined suits and tailored dresses. Opt for a pair of timeless Tom Ford sunglasses to get that celebrity look without the celebrity price tag.

Traffic LA Women’s
The much-anticipated third installment in the Traffic LA fashion triangle is now open at the Joule hotel in downtown Dallas. Those who covet West Coast style can shop for rocker-chic pieces from Rick Owens, Isabel Marant and Iro.

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.
