One can argue that high fashion has never been easily attained by the middle class. You can have your Ruehl, Banana, Barney's, whatever you have; but, if you don't know how to put it together, it's as good as nothing. I just feel, from experience, that Houston is more fashion-forward, while Dallas buys what's "trendy"... Again, just a generalization from my experiences...and seeing the people that I hang out with, it may be skewed.

I, frankly, do not believe that any type of "upper hand" exists between the two cities when it comes to fashion. Just because Dallas happens to get a Ruehl no. 925 before Houston does not serve as an indicator. For instance, Houston has: the only Emporio Armani in Texas, the only De Beers in Texas, the only Yves Saint Laurent in the South the only Fendi in the South, the only Marc Ecko Cut & Sew in the South, two True Religion Jeans stores and two Michael Kors stores, after the mall in Cypress... and tons....more.... So, If you wanna go by label presence, I think Houston holds its own. I definitely think that the fashion seen in Houston is much more edgy, "trendy" and stylish than that of Dallas. Now, that's just my opinion - fashion and style are definitely a matter of taste; and, as someone who loves edgy street fashion, Dallas can't hold a candle to Houston. Now, if you're looking for couture or evening-wear, Dallas holds its own, even though neither city is a fashion powerhouse: only New York can truly claim that status...LA, a distant second. But, as for my opinion...Houston > Dallas in fashion. Also, remember fashion and shopping are two very different and distinct concepts. Ruehl's clothes are ass, typically Abercrombie wear...nothing special. But, when you hit up the boutiques in the Village or the Trash & Vaudeville-type places in Montrose, it's easy to see why Houston trumps Dallas.

omg the levis store is gone!??!omg
