Where to shop in Dallas right now: 11 mix-and-match shops for June

Shopping action has ramped up for June, just in time for CultureMap's monthly Where to Shop list, which has 11 vendor options that merit investigation. The list includes two sustainable endeavors; two well-known jewelry brand names; plus two fashion shows for those who like attending events. And men get their due with three options — maybe because it's Father's Day this month?

Here are 11 shopping ops for June:

Chubbies
Casual men’s apparel brand from Austin whose claim to fame is that it sells shorts at the "proper" length - whether that's for the golfer, workout warrior, vacationer, or couch captain - has opened at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco. It's their fourth store in Texas and second in DFW, after a Southlake location that opened last fall. They have a fun, youthful persona, describing themselves as "the official outfitters of Friday at 5 pm." In addition to men's apparel, the Frisco store also carries a Kid's collection, including Boys and Toddler Swim and casual styles. Find it at 2601 Preston Rd #1036, Frisco.

Don Morphy
Dallas-based menswear designer Don Morphy will host its first-ever Man of the Moment Father’s Day Fashion Show, featuring their Summer 2024 collection modeled on the runway by notable Dallas fathers. The June 12 event will benefit two nonprofits: Threads for Change and Colored Me Empowered. Festivities begin with a VIP cocktail hour at 6 pm; the fashion show starts at 7:30 pm, with an afterparty to follow, all at The Mason Hotel, 115 S Beckley Ave., Dallas. Tickets are $100 for general admission and $175 for VIP, available here.

Eiseman Jewels
Family-owned Dallas jeweler celebrating 60 years is deploying an exciting redesign and expansion of its NorthPark Center salon to three newly-designed adjoining boutiques, with completion expected in early January 2025. The three boutiques - Rolex, TUDOR, and Eiseman Jewels, which includes a dedicated Cartier space and private room - will boast nearly 6,000 square feet. While undergoing renovation, Eiseman will move its retail operation three doors down between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom on level one. The temporary location opens May 31.

Good Local Markets
Farmers market on the east side of Dallas officially moves into summer hours at its two locations: White Rock at 1450 Old Gate Ln. is now open Saturday from 8 am-12 pm, and Lakewood at 6434 E. Mockingbird Ln. is now open Sunday from 9 am-1 pm. The markets include the produce, baked goods, tamales, sweets, jams, and other foodstuffs you'd expect, but also candles, sauces, florals, and other gifty fodder, all 100 percent local, within a 150-mile radius of Dallas.

Gorjana
Laguna Beach-based jewelry brand known for laid-back gold jewelry continues its march across Texas with a new store at Plano’s Legacy West. Opened Saturday, June 1, the 1,528-square-foot boutique is the brand's 10th Texas location and fourth in Dallas-Fort Worth. Shoppers can expect to find signature necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings featuring diamonds, opals, sapphires and more - all priced from $50-$100 with complimentary gift wrapping. Personal stylists are eager to help pick out beautiful things at the new spot, 7700 Windrose Ave. #G155.

H&M Home
H&M at the Galleria has expanded to accommodate the first H&M Home in Texas and just the 10th nationwide. H&M Home sells home goods ranging from duvet covers to linen napkins, planters, cookware, outdoor decor, lighting, and more at wallet-friendly prices. H&M Home now occupies 7,500 square feet on level two near Nordstrom, next to the existing H&M store, which sells men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, and accessories. (They have separate entrances.)

Hari Mari
In time for summer vacations and Father's Day gifting, the Dallas-based flip-flip brand has teamed up with reality TV personality Shep Rose of Bravo TV's Southern Charm to launch a new men's sandal line called The Clipper. It marks the company's first flip-flop made with waterproof full-grain leather. The Clipper is available in the colors "cask" and "lagoon" for $110 on HariMari.com, and comes packaged in premium boxing with a nautical-themed key chain.

Juneteenth Fashion Experience
The Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano hosts its third annual celebration of Black fashion and culture on Saturday, June 15. Emceed by fashion designer Venny Etienne from Project Runway, the event will honor both local and nationally recognized Black designers, creatives, and entertainers including ready-to-wear designer Stephen Goudeau and AND MADE, a go-to accessory brand for celebs.

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.
