Shop ‘Til Your Drip in Palm Springs

The secret to looking the part in Palm Beach — home to a particular style of dress that demands blending in by standing out — starts with shopping all the right spots. From designer boutiques to consignment stores to open-air plazas, these are the hottest spots to shop in Palm Beach.

Worth Avenue

Worth Avenue is one of the best places to shop until you drop because this luxury-lined avenue has Atlantic Ocean views, various al fresco restaurants, and charming vias a’plenty — to say nothing of the stores, which range from luxury staples (Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany & Co) to more accessible resort wear brands like Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines.

South County Road

South County Road is an unofficial shopping district frequented by locals for surf shops (P.B. Boys Club), books (Classic Bookshop), shoes, home goods, antiques, and more. Running parallel to the beach (one block west of the shoreline) and perpendicular to Worth Avenue, it’s a great spot to shop away from the madding crowds.

The Gardens Mall

Looking for the traditional shopping mall experience? Head off-island to The Gardens Mall. Located a 20-minute drive up I-95 in Palm Beach Gardens, the 

two-story enclosed shopping mall is anchored by Macy’s, Sears, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue and plays host to 160 specialty shops and restaurants.

The Church Mouse

When it comes to affording a rotating selection of designer threads, Palm Beachers have a few tricks up their sleeve — a favorite of which is The Church Mouse. For over 50 years, locals have flocked to this unassuming, 4,000-square-foot on-island thrift store for designer clothing, antiques, artwork, furniture, and more. Best of all, it’s retail therapy you can feel good about: all proceeds fund The Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea’s outreach ministry.

The Royal Poinciana Plaza

Built by famed Austrian architect John Volk in the late 1950s and revitalized over the past few years, The Royal Poinciana Plaza is the of-the-moment place to see and be seen in Palm Beach. Shop here for a rotating selection of new-and-now brands such as LoveShackFancy, Lingua Franca, and Veronica Beard as well as palm-tree-lined courtyards and an active event calendar. The Plaza is also home to the classics, including Cartier, Hermès, and Jimmy Choo.
