Fashion is very much a beauty is in the eye of the beholder kind of thing. We all seem to have our own unique styles, often dictated by our personality, physical appearance, upbringing, and budget. It’s fun to experiment and explore different looks and styles, and typically our look will evolve throughout our lives. While most of us spend our days wearing our routine clothing – jeans, shirts, the occasional dress or skirt – it’s not often we get dressed up in designer duds. For one thing, it’s usually not in our budget to purchase something that recently traveled down the runway. And for another thing, it’s not always practical for us we wear on a daily basis.
When you do want to get something that will turn heads and elevate your look, you need to know where to go. No, not to fashion week in New York, surrounded by the rich and famous. Instead, there’s a good chance you can purchase designer items at a store near you (or hop online). To save you from having to search needlessly, we’ve put together a list of our favorite department stores for designer fashions. Go ahead, live it up, because sometimes life calls for more than just the same old thing.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Kim Shui, Khaite, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh featured an Oh So Sheer look on their latest runway shows. Saks Fifth Avenue offers an ample supply of Oh So Sheer clothing.
Bloomingdales
Another popular look on the Spring Summer runway was cutouts. Christian Siriano, Victor Glemaud, and Christian Cowan all had key items with cutout pieces. Bloomingdales makes sure you have your pick of cutout dresses, tops, and swimwear.
Neiman Marcus
All Tied Up is a leading trend for Spring Summer 2022. Altuzarra, Bevza, and Jonathan Simkhai featured this trend on their runway. For our readers in Dallas, Neiman Marcus is a department store that hits close to home. It is a true icon of history to the classic style of Dallas and has multiple items that hit this trend. Here are a few of our favorites.
Bergdorf Goodman
Bergdorf Goodman has been in New York since the early 1900s, and it can offer customers unique products that are difficult to find elsewhere. Bergdorf is known for finding up-and-coming designers and keeping with the current trends in the fashion market. Another popular trend for Spring Summer is Shine Bright. Designers such as Altuzarra, Christian Cowan, and Brandon Maxwell made this trend some key pieces for their runway shows. Here are our top choices of trendy clothing at Bergdorf.
Nordstrom
One of Spring Summer 2022 Catwalk’s leading trends was Full-Time Fringe. Designers such as Rodarte, Jonathan Simkhai, and Proenza Schouler featured this look. The number one reason I shop at Nordstrom is their amazing customer service. Whether you are on the phone or in person, their staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. If you do decide you don’t like a specific product, there is no time restraint on returning an item like most stores. Another win for me at Nordstrom is the pricing. While high-end is carried at Nordstrom, they offer a price match guarantee. Here are our top Nordstrom Full-Time Fringe choices:
There you have it: glam, style, sheer, and oh la la. The next time you have an event – or even just want to indulge in some designer fashion – head to your nearest department store and try on something trendy, elegant, timeless, or simply outside your usual comfort level. Why? Because sometimes it’s fun to go outside your ordinary.
