It’s official: The time to update closets and homes is now. A new season means fresh styles and the opportunity to go beyond your usual favorite spots to explore the markets dotting the April event calendar. Here's where to shop in Houston right now:

Indochino
Guys need new duds, too, and Indochino at The Galleria on Level One (next to Topshop) is at the ready, delivering customized suiting options in four weeks to gents who want to step out of the usual. Customers choose a style and then have the option to customize the suit, jacket, dress shirts, and other elements — just the way they want. The process can be done in-store or online.

Maison de Mode
Maison de Mode brings its selection of luxury, ethically made products to The Galleria from April 11-May 15. Shop brands like DUN, Prabal Gurung, TOME, Amour Vert, Khokho, Behno, and Bottletop during the brick-and-mortar stint. The apparel, accessories, and footwear are a mix of recycled, organic, cruelty-free, and made in the U.S. products. The Maison de Mode boutique is on Level Two of The Galleria next to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Atrium Friends and Family Sale
Atrium boutique owner Luvi Wheelock is treating her BFFs to a 25 percent off sale on everything in her River Oaks Shopping Center store, with the exception of Misela handbags. Isolda Ready-To-Wear, Tara Jarmon, Black Halo, Mola Sasa Handbags, and Paula Mendoza Jewelry are among the sale goodies. The Friends & Family event ends Thursday, April 12.

Flea Style
Texas makers, crafters, collectors, and artisans are in the spotlight Saturday, April 21 during Flea Style at Silver Street Studios. The pop-up market features more than 100 vendors plus food trucks, a bar, free crafts, DJ spins, and photo wall. Dive into the Morocco-themed market and find handmade, vintage, and one-of-a-kind goods, plus if you’re an especially motivated shopper, the first 100 shoppers receive a complimentary tote bag. Tickets can be purchased in advance.

Dash Market
Technically, the DASH market is named for Design, Art, Style, and Home, but we tend to think of it more as an encouragement to, you know, quickly get to the home decor market at Silver Street Studios April 26-29. DASH gets underway Thursday, April 26, with the first ever DASH preview party which give shoppers first dibs access to more than 80 vendors, while also benefiting Aspire Accessories, a local organization that teaches young adults with autism and similar special needs transferable business skills. Shoppers are invited to a “Drink It All In” happy hour on Friday, April 27, from 5-7 pm, where they can enjoy half-priced price entry plus a complimentary glass of wine while perusing the offerings. Deal hunters will find discounted ticket prices during Stroll & Shop Sunday Funday.

FIGS will open its new Rice Village Community Hub on December 6.

Healthcare apparel company FIGS is opening its first brick-and-mortar store in Texas with a new Community Hub in Rice Village. The retail space is designed to serve both as a store and a gathering spot for the city's healthcare community.

The Rice Village location opens this Saturday, December 6, with a public grand opening event on December 13 from 6 to 8 pm featuring giveaways, music, food, and drinks from local vendors. Joining outposts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City, the Houston location is the fourth Community Hub for the company and the only location in the South.

The store will carry the full range of FIGS products, including scrubwear, loungewear, and accessories. It will also host events and programming focused on healthcare topics, offering visitors opportunities to meet and share experiences.

At the new FIGS boutique, shoppers will find the Color Clinic, offering scrubwear in core colors with rotating seasonal options. The store also has a Customization Station, which provides embroidery for names, titles, practice or hospital logos, and local icon options available only at Community Hubs. Personalization is also available for scrub caps, outerwear, and accessories.

The brand, founded in 2013 by Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, is known for fashion-forward medical uniforms made from a proprietary fabric with four-way stretch, antimicrobial technology, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle resistance. Hasson and Spear began selling directly to healthcare workers in Los Angeles-area hospital parking lots before growing their presence as an online retailer.

CEO and co-founder Trina Spear believes Rice Village was the perfect choice due to its proximity to the Texas Medical Center. She said the company wanted a space that supports Houston healthcare professionals and gives them a place to shop and connect.

"Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, and we are honored to bring a FIGS Community Hub to this city. This space is designed to serve and celebrate Houston healthcare professionals," said Spear. "Our Community Hubs create opportunities for customers to not only shop in a way that never previously existed, but to connect with each other and with FIGS on a deeper level."
