Manhattan transplants Brett and Karen Mascavage unload unique NY style for men and women in their pretentious-less Decatur shop.

The Scene
Atlanta is a stylish city with high-end shopping and boutiques rivaling many major metropolitan areas, and boy did we land one here. Decatur's DressCodes, a trendy spot without the trendy attitude channels SoHo shopping in the heart of Decatur. Local art appropriately dresses up the white walls, and turntables are on display when not being used during the store's art openings. Two adorable Boston terriers cautiously (and cutely) guard the door, and the owners are always there and always friendly.

The Goods
Striving to carry unique lines not easily found in Atlanta, the duo-owned boutique offers rare items from Japan, Sweden, Korea and L.A. Edging into a philanthropic side, they choose lines that often stand for something besides simply fashion, whether its a partnering charity or ecologically minded labels. Despite attention for imports like Filippa K and Soia & Kyo, they also carry items from local designers.
