Menswear Shopping Favorites in Palm Springs
If your idea of the perfect getaway includes a little retail therapy, you’re in luck! Palm Springs is a great place to shop for menswear, and some of the city’s best clothing boutiques are located within walking distance of Descanso Resort (or just minutes away by car). Whether you’re looking to score a breezy linen shirt, vintage designer duds, or a flirty pair of short shorts, these are our favorite places to shop for men’s clothes in Palm Springs.

Located inside The Shops at 1345 in a reimagined E. Stewart Williams modernist office building, Towne Palm Springs is a quick 5-minute walk from Descanso.

This is the place to find vividly patterned pants and blazers, textured knit polos, sunny cropped trousers, and swimwear in vintage-inspired prints for those bougie times when you want to feel like you just stepped out of a Slim Aaron’s photograph.
