Top Shops for Fall

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

September brings to mind two of our favorite things: football and fashion. (And sometimes we get to combine the two.) This month, we look at what's new at some of our favorite shopping destinations so we can freshen up our closets — and homes — for fall.

Accents
This West Village favorite moved to Mockingbird Station, and the new store is 40 percent larger. That means more space for clothing, accessories and gifts from local designers, LA-based indie lines, and labels out of Italy and Hong Kong. Owner Lucy Huang says the new boutique reflects the shop's maturation from accessories to all wardrobe essentials.

Cantoni
One of the best furniture stores in Dallas has a new Calligaris Studio, with 1,600 square feet of luxurious Italian furnishings, lighting and accessories. Exclusive to Cantoni, this studio is the brand's first shop-in-shop in Texas. Additionally, Cantoni is getting ready to launch Re-Vive, the world's first performance recliner with three flex movements, available in three leather options.

Chantilly
Now that football is back in play, it's time to add a some school spirit to your wardrobe. But forget about jerseys; the Design District's Chantilly boutique has styled series of ensembles to match your school's alma matter. Think purple blouses for LSU, burnt orange dresses for UT and black-and-red maxis for Texas Tech.

Neiman Marcus
Those who covet Christian Louboutin's red soles but who can't bear to spend $1,000 on a pair of pumps can now get a taste of that luxury with Louboutin's high-gloss nail lacquer. Available at Neiman Marcus for $50 a bottle, the polish comes in 30 colors. With the highest percentage of pigment in the nail industry, the polish has maximum impact — not unlike the shoes.

Riffraff
A recent addition to the Plaza at Preston Center, Arkansas-based Riffraff offers fun, affordable fashions ranging from casual daytime outfits to fierce nighttime ensembles. Riffraff is also the biggest distributor of Show Me Your Mumu, a chic California-based line featuring bold prints and boho styles worn by Jessica Alba, Andi Dorfman from ABC's The Bachelor and model Ali Landry.

Stanley Korshak
Men, you're in luck: Suitsupply is now open on the Men's Shak courtyard, becoming the brand's second Texas store and its first shop-in-shop concept. Suitsupply's new spot features a full collection and an in-store tailor. With exceptional fabrics from the Northern Italian region of Biella, suits come in classic, contemporary or formal fits and range in price from $399-$999. The shop also features ties, jackets, pants, dress shirts, shoes and more.

Target
Altuzarra for Target — a complete line of clothing, shoes and accessories — arrives in stores September 14. Brand creative director Joseph Altuzarra, winner of the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award in 2014, believes fashion can be transformative. Among our favorite looks are python-printed skirts, blouses and jackets that can go from a day at the office to a night on the town.

Ylang 23
With a newly revamped e-commerce site, Ylang 23 is making resisting its baubles an even more impossible feat. Especially when you consider that in addition to designers Jennifer Meyer, Irene Neuwirth and Cathy Waterman, the jewelry store recently welcomed Larkspur & Hawk to its roster. Exclusive to Ylang 23 in Dallas, Larkspur & Hawk boasts beautiful necklaces and earrings made with luxurious topaz stones and hand-foiled metal.

Larkspur & Hawk jewelry is exclusive to Ylang 23 in Dallas.

Shopping News

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.
