For the woman dressing through a Texas year

What to Wear in Dallas: A Seasonal Style Guide is not the moment to blend in. The room is full of women who dressed with intention, and the one they remember is the one who arrived in something unmistakably her own.
Dallas weather has a personality. Long, hot summers. Mild, pretty springs and falls. A short but festive holiday stretch. Dressing well here means dressing for the season you're actually in — so here's a local's guide, with pieces that carry you through each one.
From the Dallas label D Magazine named Best Resortwear 2024 — designed by someone who dresses Dallas women year-round.

From Late Spring Into Fall
Dallas is hot. Lean into breathable, flowing pieces: goddess kaftans, light dresses, wide-leg pants and sleeveless tops. Bold print does double duty — it looks alive in the sun and photographs beautifully by the pool or on a patio.

“I got stopped by at least 20 people commenting how stunning the outfit was. It was a show stopper for sure. I felt like all eyes were on me.”
Sai Sankoh dresses Dallas year-round — to the point that local TV calls her in for it. She's a regular on WFAA's Good Morning Texas and appeared on NBC DFW's Texas Today for a resort-wear-trends segment, the kind of recurring local feature you only get when you're the name people associate with the city's style. D Magazine named the label Best Resortwear in 2024. So this isn't generic advice — it's how a Dallas designer actually dresses the city through its long summers, pretty springs and festive winters.
