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

Dallas is experiencing temperatures that make even getting out to shop sound taxing; however, once you get there, the air conditioning feels oh-so-satisfying. So pump yourself up for an afternoon outing perusing these shops with an iced coffee in hand and day dreaming of cooler days, when we can window shop without breaking a sweat.

Arhaus The Loft
Luxury furniture at discounted prices? Sign us up. This outlet-esque offshoot is now open in Grapevine Mills (next to Meow Wolf) and features the brand's same great stuff that just so happens to be discontinued, slightly imperfect, or overstocked. Think indoor and outdoor furniture across all categories included by not limited to dining tables, sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, beds, desks, and lighting. Read more about the new concept here.

Chic & Gold
It's not every day that Dallasites can shop Pakistani artisan-made accessories. This e-commerce shop focuses on slow fashion and is the creation of Munira Syeda, who decided during COVID to blaze this new career path for herself. Born in Pakistan but now living in Dallas, Syeda selects natural materials such as handloomed cotton, which is plant-dyed to create beautiful accessories in small batches. She has plans to pop up around town at Pottery Barn, Kendra Scott, and at the Dallas Farmers Market, where she is a vendor.

Centre Bishop Arts
The cult-favorite Dallas sneaker shop has opened its third DFW location, this time in the bustling Bishop Arts neighborhood. This is your go-to shop for Nikes, Jordans, and other hard-to-source shoes for men, women, and kids. The store also features sports appeal and accessories, plus spaces to hang out and play games while you're there. Read more about it here.

Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

Salvation Army

The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

“Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
