    As Houston fashionistas eagerly await the approach of fall weather and a wardrobe update, stay cool around town with these unique offerings and new stores.

    The Boardroom Salon For Men

    The Boardroom Salon for Men, which recently opened up a location at 2526 Rice Blvd., was created to provide a cool, comfortable, masculine place for men to get a great haircut, shave, facial or other spa service. The goal is to help men look and feel their best by combining exceptional hair, shave and spa options with outstanding service.

    Men can also relax with a game of pool or chess, while enjoying complimentary beverages.

    CrOp by David Peck

    It’s CrOp by David Peck’s end-of-season sale. Designer David Peck USA closes the season with a celebration, reducing classic CrOp styles to $99 & under.

    Deutsch & Deutsch

    The Deutsch & Deutsch tradition of hard work and ingenuity has been the driving force behind its evolution from a modest 1920s tourist shop in Mexico into its status as one of the most prominent jewelers in Texas and the entire United States. Which is why Ivanka Trump decided to unveil her newest collections inside the jeweler.

    The Journey — a series of fine jewelry reportedly inspired by Ivanka’s passion for travel, architecture and design — is directly influenced by her favorite locations around the globe.

    Eye Elegance

    The 3939 Montrose Boulevard strip center will be the new home of Eye Elegance, a family-owned and operated local boutique specializing in unique and well-made eyeglass and sunglass frames. Just about everything is done in-house, from taking prescriptions to cutting and tinting lenses to meticulously fitting frames to each client’s face.

    After 24 years in business, the last 15 in Highland Village, Eye Elegance is finally moving to a neighborhood just as eclectic as its eyewear.

    J. McLaughlin

    J.McLaughlin, the classic American clothing and accessories brand for women and men, is making its Texas debut in River Oaks Shopping Center. Think Ivy League, Upper East Side, classic style with a penchant for preppy Americana.

    Jonathan Blake

    Jonathan Tinkle — a 22-year-old Houston native — recently opened up a new atelier on Post Oak Blvd. Inspired by Chanel, Valentino and Versace, Jonathan Blake's designs are designed to be timelessly “wearable,” classic, and elegant for women of all ages.

    Prices start at $275 for blouses — and go up to $13,000 for evening dresses.

    The goal is to offer consumers a personalized approach to a full range of men’s and women’s signature denim fits and sportswear.

    Kendra Scott's million dollar engagement ring crafted by a Houston jeweler tops Houston's most-read fashion articles of 2025.

    Editor’s note: Houston’s shopping and style scene delivered plenty to talk about this year, with headline-making jewels, must-have accessories, major retail moves, and Texas-sized collaborations. Readers couldn’t get enough of a million-dollar pink diamond crafted by a Houston jeweler for Zac Brown and Kendra Scott, the Labubu frenzy, and the arrival of luxury brands in River Oaks District. New flagships from beloved Texas brands, summer shopping guides, and the return of the Nutcracker Market, along with news of a Macy’s local closure also topped the year's must-read articles. Here's a look back at the stories that captured the Bayou City's love of luxury, hometown pride, and constantly changing retail landscape.

    1. Houston jeweler supplies star Zac Brown with a Texas-sized diamond ring. Country superstar Zac Brown popped the question to billionaire jewelry mogul Kendra Scott with a one-of-a-kind creation from Houston jeweler Valobra Master Jewelers. The jaw-dropping 3.06 carat fancy pink diamond (GIA certified, VVS2 clarity) was set in platinum gold and surrounded by 28 baguette-cut white diamonds totaling 3.17 carats. The jeweler wouldn't comment on the price, but it would surely retail for over $1 million.

    2. Loveable Labubu: Where to find the must-have fashion accessory in Houston. Love them or hate them, these tiny monsters broke the internet with the April release of Big Into Energy Labubu. Lucky Houstonians who were able to buy one online flocked to area stores in Sugar Land and The Woodlands for their pick-up-only purchases.

    3. 2 luxury jewelers unveil flagship boutiques in River Oaks District. With VIP salons, ornate decor, and luxury jewelry, two French jewelry houses made an entrance in River Oaks District this summer. Joining the neighborhood's luxury lineup, shoppers can now buy their baubles from Cartier and Van Cleef.

    4. Colorful Texas handbag maker opens new flagship store in Katy. Popular handbag brand Consuela opened its first Houston-area store at La Centerra in Cinco Ranch, Katy. Shoppers can now get their hands on the bold, colorful printed bags and accessories without a long drive or an online checkout.

    5. Macy's to shutter dozens of stores nationwide, including 1 in Houston. As part of a strategy to make Macy's profitable again, the store shuttered six Texas stores, including a longtime location at Almeda Mall. Five DFW stores also went dark, and by early 2026, the retailer will have closed 150 "unproductive" locations nationwide.

    6. Where to shop right now: 12 Houston shops with fresh summer finds. Amid back-to-school shopping and the August 8 sales tax holiday, Houstonians were especially interested in where to find the best deals at local retailers, including Chloe Dao, Mejuri, Reformation, Abejas Boutique, and more.

    7. Houston bootmaker offers $5,000 cowboy boot and gator hunt adventure. For $5,000, Houstonians can now source an alligator hide near Anahuac that will be transformed into a pair of bespoke cowboy boots by Republic Boot Company.

    8. What to know about the return of Houston's Nutcracker Market for 2025. The Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market is one of the most highly anticipated shopping events of the year. This year's market welcomed 40 new vendors and over 100,000 shoppers, with ticket sales exceeding $24 million. Over $6 million went directly to support Houston Ballet, its academy, and scholarship programs.

    9. Texas brand Lucchese launches UT Longhorns collection with boots and more. Storied Texas bootmaker Lucchese released a collaboration with the University of Texas featuring two men's styles and three women's styles. The lineup pairs white and cream colored leather with burnt orange accents as a nod to Longhorn pride.

    10. Whataburger partners with Texas activewear brand for new capsule collection. Whataburger tapped Austin-based activewear brand Burlebo for a capsule collection just in time for Father's Day. The line included caps, infant onesies, and shirts available in three different patterns.
