"Welcome to Denim Couture! A Kansas City Boutique where we strive to inspire and bring you more variety and choices to fit your style.We offer designer clothing for Men & Women featuring denim lines such as Rock Revival, BigStar, MEK,  William Rast, Miss Me, AG,Magnetik, Monarchy, Modern Culture, shoes,accessiories, and much much more."

The above quoted section is the opening text on the official website and it makes you feel more knowledgable about the boutique. Their message is apparent and upfront for everyone to see. Since moving to KC area I've yet to hear about this boutique. I believe a lot of the boutiques that don't get as much shine as bigger boutiques need to invest in their advertising more and get to know their consumers. 
KC fashion is on the rise and I believe it could improve with a little networking.

The ZAFAR Experience: Salon, Spa, & Boutique gift wrapped in one ;)


While on my trip downtown I honestly walked past this beautifully designed establishment because I wasn't sure it was a boutique. It wasn't until I had a peak inside and saw that not only is it a boutique but it's also a Salon & Spa. So you can get pampered then shop till you drop without leaving the store. 
The apparel that is offered is woman's clothing and accessories. A vast majority of the retail stores that are offered in the Power & Light District are fairly new. They've been in their locations from 3 to 6 months so their popularity can begin to rise within months.




The store is 
located at 1370 Main St. across from the AMC Mainstreet.

JOS.A.BANK


This store can be compared to many men's retailers but I don't think other stores measure up. jOs.A.Bank has a wide variety of mens clothing but it's not only the variety that sets them apart, it is the quality of the materials that they use. 



For the business man who appreciates a great deal, they offer a Corporate Card Program which can help you save 20% off everyday prices. When shopping here for yourself or for that special someone, remember the prices may be extravagant for some and relaxed for others. Just know that you get the quality that you are paying for when shopping here. They've been around for 100 years plus, so that alone stands for more than I could ever explain in one blog post. 




  • Over 490 stores nationwide with a full selection of men's tailored and casual clothing, footwear and accessories







  • Four seasonal catalogs mailed internationally with toll-free ordering in the US 24 hours a day 7 days a week







  • 100% guarantee of satisfaction behind every item we sell







  • A heritage of 105 years of quality, value and service

    The GARMENT DISTRICT

    The GARMENT DISTRICT
    Being adventurous, I decided to explore the downtown Power & Light district of Kansas City for boutiques. I stumbled across The Garment District which I believe is a hidden hotspot. With all the shopping traffic that is accumulated in the PLAZA you think those people would make their way to downtown because the commute is only minutes away. But because this isn't the case this store is a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered. 


    The Garment District is one of 7 stores that are exclusive to only the KC area, they are all owned and managed by the same person. This wonderland is located at 1350 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64105.


    The Garment District isn't only a boutique with unique fashions, but inside you can have a cocktail as you shop or recline in sofas that would make your tense backs ease with relaxation. 


    Their wide variety of clothing ranges from baby accessories, mens apparel, and woman's apparel. The prices are affordable but there are some pieces that may 'break the bank' -- but these items are exclusive and worth every penny.
