Where to buy women's business casual clothes at NorthPark?
Posted by noble_land_mermaid@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 47 comments
I'm a millennial mom living in Dallas with a job that doesn't really require anything more than casual dress most of the time but a last minute work trip just popped up and it'll require like dark jeans/nice top/blazer situation.
I haven't had to wear anything nicer than jeans and a tee shirt for work since before the pandemic and I've had two kids since then so everything I have is out of fashion or too small for me.
If I go to NorthPark which stores should I prioritize? I'm definitely thinking Nordstrom but stumped on where else. My main concern is looking like I'm trying and failing to look younger. I also don't want to break the bank for one occasion.
Any advice?

Ann taylor is the answer. Lift became full of weird florals and peasant blouses the past few years. Fucking ugly. Ann taylor had items that would complete a capsule wardrobe.

Ann Taylor is so much better than Loft!
abstractraj@reddit
My wife gets some things from Loft, if there’s one near you

There’s a Loft basically across the highway from Northpark by the Mockingbird Dart Station

I’m an elder millennial and prefer the loft over Ann Taylor styles.

White House black market

There’s an Ann Taylor Loft across the street behind Nordstrom Rack. I’ve had great luck there.

White House, express, J Crew are some of my go to business casual clothes. Good luck!

I’d try Nordstrom Rack

I don't know why I forgot about Nordstrom Rack - that'll probably be my first stop.

Was just there with my gf yesterday — many deals to be had!
UDMN@reddit
Also Saks off Fifth
S35X17@reddit
They are permanently closed AFAIK
UDMN@reddit
whoa

Dillards has a fantastic dress selection. They have a huge volume of options, so I’d start there. Ann Taylor. Then across at Park Lane - Loft and J. Crew Factory
EntryQuiet9909@reddit
Express! I love their clothing quality and the prices aren’t outrageous either. They always have deals going on. TJ Maxx and Marshall’s also has great clothing options for reasonable prices but it’s a hit or miss sometimes. Definitely worth taking a look at before splurging though!
aeroluv327@reddit
I like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Loft and J Crew for business casual.
InformationOk6366@reddit
Why do you have to go to North Park? But I’d recommend TJ Maxx which idk if there’s one by North Park but they’re several locations
masquefetiche@reddit
The ones in Dallas are prob the worst I’ve seen.
ironsheik84@reddit
There is a TJ Maxx across the highway from the mall FYI
9100 N Central Expy Dallas, TX 75231
No_Mastodon_4350@reddit
That TJMaxx has great clothes
noble_land_mermaid@reddit (OP)
Ooohh yes good pull! I'll def hit them up
MopsyTat@reddit
I shop in that area all the time, and I would check them out first. I have found so many beautiful items there for cheap and in great condition. But pay close attention when you try stuff on. A couple of times I've come home with items and later discovered that a seam was crooked or something was off.

They have Zara and banana republic, but my favorite is vineyard vines.
lickthisbook@reddit
I just go to ebay now. I find a brand that I like and put it in the search box along with my size and see what comes up.

Zara has great quality blazers and jackets for the price point. Depending on your personal style, you might find shirts and jeans at J Crew, Anthropologie, Aritzia or Nordstrom.

Old navy also has some good items. I really like mango and gap straight pants though.

Madewell, Loft, Gap
placeholder654321@reddit
Lands End at Park lane!
Loft.
RelativePlantain6970@reddit
I got some really nice pieces from Express
rhyde11@reddit
Abercrombie, Aritzia, Banana Republic and Macy's would be my recommendations at North Park!
TXmama1003@reddit
Loft or try Kohls.
Duck_Unusual@reddit
J. Crew and Banana Republic are my go-to’s.
cleargummybears@reddit
H&M
Afootinafieldofmen@reddit
Eileen Fisher. Don’t shoot the messenger!
seriboberry@reddit
Probably not the price point she is looking for
kelseyhart24@reddit
Banana Republic Factory
My work wardrobe by choice is only black, white, and brown. Every combination looks good, and I never have to question my choices.
Historical-Cicada939@reddit
If you are struggling, Nordstrom has personal shoppers who can pull and meet your price point
Crying_in_99Ranch@reddit
I'd start with Zara, Mango, or Nordstrom Rack unless you don't have a budget.
On a side note, our company went back to the office last year and at the townhall people were complaining that they didn't have clothes to wear and wanted a stipend to buy clothes. Pandemic problems still affecting us
ironsheik84@reddit
I’m a dude, so I can’t speak firsthand but wish you the best of luck and will throw out some suggestions : Banana Republic, Dillards, Ann Taylor, Zara, and Macys
Loft is at the Shops at Park Lane across the highway
Don’t forget there’s always the Allen Outlet Mall too for discounted clothes, and they have a Banana Republic, Loft, and other stores nice business casual clothes that won’t break the bank
squishablehugs@reddit
White House black market might be a good option.
Fragrant-Whole6718@reddit
Zara has great blazers and dark jeans. Also express is good for machine washable suiting (the editor line is fantastic). Aritzia also has great blazers but they are a higher price point than Zara. For a tailored but very comfortable pant try the lululemon Daydrift trouser. Excellent to travel with/in.

Gap, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic (from least to most expensive)
OtherwiseSoftware379@reddit
I find good basic work things at Nordstrom’s, banana republic, Zara, Ann Taylor. Zara is great
