The Cool Guy’s Guide To the Best Men’s Clothing Stores in Dallas

Shopping in Dallas for menswear can be tricky. You might think that your only options are either luxury retail, going online, or simply succumbing to the polo shirt lifestyle. But you’d be surprised by the amount of low-key boutiques, underground stores, and if-you-know-you-know resale shops that can be found across the city.

Owned and operated locally, the following spots span the menswear spectrum. From tailoring, archive fashion, and Japanese essentials to the best vintage t-shirts, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you explore the city’s coolest menswear suppliers. You’re sure to find what suits you, and hopefully something new.

Menswear/ Classic

Stag Provisions

Who’s the man: He likes smoky scents, barbecue, classic American workwear, and quality coffee.

You can feel the Austin influence as soon as you step inside Stag, which opened its first store on South Congress in 2009. The Dallas outpost on Knox is a perfect patchwork of pattern button shirts, selvedge denim, leather huaraches, and Japanese knit socks. It’s also the only store in Dallas where you can find amazing brands like Universal Works, Beams Plus, Double RL, and RoToTo. You can build a complete outfit here and then some, down to the fragrances like EastWest Bottlers and D.S. & Durga. Make sure you go through everything at Stag, including the bags, watches, and especially the jewelry.

Stag has an e-commerce component, but the selection, styling, and curation of the space warrant a physical visit.

Todd Snyder New York

Who’s the man: He’s a fan of great tailoring, doesn’t like wearing sweatpants out of the house, and always has an outfit ready for a party.

From linen suits to cashmere hoodies, Todd Snyder’s NorthPark outpost has the everyday elevated look covered. The brand’s regular collaborations with classic labels like Champion, Woolrich, New Balance, and Sebago keep their collections fresh year-round. Aside from its formal attire, Todd Snyder also offers a solid selection of denim, trousers, outerwear, and tops that merge seamlessly into any guy’s wardrobe. Additional brands the store stocks include Moscot, Paraboot, Barbour, and Birkenstock.

Vintage

Martini Man

Who’s the man: Dandies and fans of pre-loved luxury.

Deservedly named one of the best vintage stores in Dallas-Fort Worth by Vogue, Vintage Martini recently moved from its longtime home on Henderson Avenue into the space next door, a loftier location that gave owners Ken Weber and Greg Kelly the chance to create a gentlemanly spinoff: Martini Man. The clean-lined boutique offers a mix of vintage treasures, organized by decade, and a selection of high-quality, second-hand contemporary goods (Comme des Garçons, Gucci, Armani, etc.) for a discount.

Nylo Wool

Who’s the man: He’s a true vintage head. You’ll find him at a party yapping about how old his jacket is.

First, you fall in love with the store (vintage flags, Lee dolls, and bear rugs are lovingly layered), then you fall in love with the curation. Owned and operated independently by Daniel Wool, the Deep Ellum shop offers extensive men’s, women’s, and even kid’s vintage ranging from the 1950s to the ’90s. Recognized by GQ as one of the best vintage stores in America, Nylo Wool is a source for Western shirts, vintage Levi’s, vintage collegiate crewnecks, bomber jackets, cowboy boots, and knives—all fairly priced. It’s the quintessential Western vintage store of Dallas.

Vagabond Vintage Clothing

Who’s the man: A t-shirt-loving treasure hunter.

With stores in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton, Vagabond is the spot to find the sickest vintage t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, and even boots. The best prints and fades are reserved for those with the patience (and time) to dig. Vagabond’s specialty lies in the expert categorization of its vintage tees. In each store, you’ll find racks sorted by music, pop culture, movies, and TV.

The prices can’t be beat, but if you’re down to ball out, don’t be scared to ask about the t-shirts hanging from the walls. They’re likely to be upwards of $150, but for good reason. A pro tip here: always try on your vintage tees. Sizing changes from decade to decade.

Streetwear

2nd Street

Who’s the man: He appreciates luxury and sustainability.

2nd Street opened in Japan in 1996, but in 2022, the beloved resale store began its Texas takeover. Dallas-Fort Worth has 2nd Streets in Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, Frisco, and Fort Worth. It can be a little overwhelming to take in the shop’s dense displays of clothes, shoes, luxury handbags, wallets, and jewelry. But just like a thrift store or vintage boutique, the thrill of the hunt is what sets 2nd Street apart, as well as its unbeatable prices on secondhand luxury items.

These stores nail the craving for sustainable fashion that younger generations seek out, and their constant cycling of clothing ensures that you always have a chance to find a new grail.

Human Dior

Who’s the man: He’s a fashion nerd who knows everything about ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s designers.

Founded in 2013 by Dallas native Jon Hinguanzo, Human Dior brings the subculture of niche, hard-to-find archive fashion to Dallas. This is the place to find a cult classic from Rick Owens or other iconic menswear designers. It’s all about “grails,” pieces that are deemed extremely hard to find.

The shop itself is incredible. You’ll see many iconic pieces hung from the walls, hidden between racks of Japanese designers, streetwear brands, and everything in between. Since it’s a resale store, the selection is reflective of Dallas’ style—you’ll see a lot of Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Marni mixed in with Undercover and Chrome Hearts. You can even rent some of their rarest pieces for a special project or occasion. Aside from their archive selection, Human Dior also sells some pretty sick store merch.

Sneaker Politics

Who’s the man: A streetwear purist.

Politics is not your average sneaker store. Originally from Louisiana, the brand has collaborated with Jordan Brand, Asics, Adidas, and New Balance. Since opening their Deep Ellum store in 2019, Sneaker Politics has regularly hosted community events, including Complex’s Sneaker Shopping with Luca Dončić. You can expect to find the latest releases from Nike, Asics, New Balance, and Mizuno on the shelves, and brands like Rhude, Awake NY, Carhartt WIP, and A Bathing Ape on the racks.

After you try some of the heat they have on the shelves, make sure you take a look at their clothing racks. Politics is an authentic streetwear store through and through.

Centre

Who’s the man: A slick dresser with a love for hyperlocal.

Founded by Nick Sunderman in 2007, Centre is one of the oldest homegrown sneaker and streetwear shops in Dallas. Originally opened in Mockingbird Station, it has since expanded to Fort Worth’s Magnolia Avenue in 2018 and the Bishop Arts District in 2023. All three locations are well curated and have their own strikingly minimal aesthetic. Centre has collaborated with brands like Malbon Golf, New Era, and most recently with Sadelle’s in Highland Park Village. You can always find the newest releases from Nike, Jordan, Adidas, and Saucony.

Beyond the shop, Centre has evolved into a brand of its own, which has only gotten better over time. There are socks, hats, Oxford shirts, work jackets, hoodies, as well as quality t-shirts and hats, all of which tend to sell out. Stay tuned to their Instagram to keep up to date with special releases.

Basics

Uniqlo

Who’s the man: A lover of sturdy staples. Most likely to be a Gen Z or a Millennial.

Since the ’90s, Japanese retailer Uniqlo has been a beloved go-to for high-quality basics. And in 2024, Dallas finally got its very own store in the Galleria, where the lines stayed long well after the grand opening. Today, you can calmly find what you need during the week, but expect a bit of a hectic atmosphere on the weekends.

For the uninitiated, Uniqlo is similar to other affordable clothing brands like Zara or H&M, but is generally considered to be a slight step up in quality. The brand is also known for collaborating with many notable designers like Jil Sander, Marni, J.W. Anderson, and Clare Waight Keller. In Dallas, Uniqlo has partnered with local artists and businesses such as Cocoandre and Dear Giana.
