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

What is that? A temperature below 90 degrees to work with? It's officially time to break out the fall wardrobe in Dallas. From seriously swoonworthy men's clothing sold at a luxury downtown hotel to feel-good favorites for the entire family at NorthPark Center's new kid on the block, a successful shopping spree can be had, sans sweat.

Faherty
This family-owned brand is bringing its feel-good goods to Dallas and is officially open on level one at NorthPark Center, between Nordstrom and Macy's. With 77 percent of this company's materials made of sustainable fibers like organic cotton, ethically sourced cashmere, recycled polyester, linen, and hemp, shoppers can be confident that a purchase from this store is reducing their carbon footprint.

Fall Market at Shops at Park Lane
Join this North Dallas shopping mainstay for a market showcasing local artisans while the temperatures are picture perfect. Happening the first Saturday of each month through November 6, the markets are packing action between Starbucks and Chipotle. There will also be live music and giveaways on this already fun day.

Gucci
Fans of the storied and lavish fashion house Gucci will be glad to know it has just unveiled a new lifestyle line for those who can’t get enough GG in their life. The new collection, launched September 10, includes house slippers and satin silk pajamas featuring different Gucci House prints; a travel set boasting sleeping masks, pillow, and mules crafted from environmentally sustainable silk and viscose; and more. These new luxe goods can be found in Dallas-area stores or online.

Lele Sadoughi x Lela Rose collaboration
With both of these beautiful brands being led by Dallas natives, it was only a matter of time before the Highland Park Village neighbors created an epic collaboration. Fans can shop a special-edition line featuring Lela Rose prints and fabrics in signature Lele Sadoughi headband styles, launching September 22. Both designers will be at the launch party in Highland Park Village, from 4-6 pm, to celebrate the partnership.

Macy's Backstage
A new location of Macy's Backstage is opening its doors at The Centre at Preston Ridge in Frisco at 11 am Saturday, September 18. Backstage is a newer Macy's concept that sells clothes, housewares, shoes, cosmetics, and other goods at discount prices. The "off-price" concept offers favorite brands at significant savings, with a constantly changing assortment of on-trend merchandise. This is the second Backstage store in the DFW area after its opening at The Village at Allen in May.

Texas Standard
Who knew that you could shop for such snazzy clothes while staycationing at the Omni Dallas? This Austin-based menswear line has launched its fall collection featuring a few new apparel categories, including outerwear, as well as expanded clothing offerings, and seasonal options for the brand’s most popular designs. Highlights include The Borderland Vest ($99.50, sizes S-3XL), Texas Flannel ($114.50, sizes S-3XL), and Tejas Guayaberas ($118.50, sizes S-3XL). Available locally at the Omni in Dallas, as well as Maverick Western Wear and Chieffalo Americana in Fort Worth, J10 Designs in Rockwall, and Local Yokel in McKinney.

The Last Line at Market
This LA-based fine jewelry brand — loved by the likes of Cameron Diaz, Rachel Zoe, and Katy Perry — is the latest line visiting the Highland Park Village store's rotating pop-up space. The company is owned by a husband-and-wife team and prides itself on selling ethically sourced pieces made from 14k gold without the outrageous industry markups. The pop-up opens September 17 and runs through February 2022.

Van Cleef & Arpels
The luxury French jewelry store is finally ready to open its doors in Highland Park Village on September 23. Those who've patiently watched the construction across from Starbucks and next to Trina Turk will be rewarded with a showroom that features everything from watches to engagement rings. A second floor will showcase custom creations in a more comfortable and private atmosphere.

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.
