In Houston, it can be a difficult to get into that fall vibe when temps are hovering in the 90s; luckily, there is so much to look forward to before we have to take out our sweaters and boots. For starters: for fashion traditionalists, it's a chance to finally start wearing white.
Shopping for college football looks, back-to-school fits, event and gala season, and new seasonal pieces makes kissing summer goodbye a little easier. With that in mind, we've curated a list of boutiques, products, and markets. Consider this a handpicked edit of the best in Houston this month.
