Shopping small is one of the most powerful and helpful ways to support our local economy, and maybe even more importantly, to champion the hardworking entrepreneurs who make the Coastal Bend a one-of-a-kind place to live. If you’re in the market for new clothing and accessories, these stores are a great place to start.

Lady Captain
If you’re after effortless chic with a touch of coastal flair, Lady Captain is the place. Everything on the racks is part of its own thoughtfully designed clothing line, created by co-founders Claire Fields Craig and Lauren Neal with the Gulf Coast woman in mind. From easygoing dresses to polished sets with activewear elements, each piece is made for days spent on the water and nights with friends. Bonus: The shop also carries Her New Tribe, a colorful ceramic jewelry line that adds just the right pop to any outfit.

2 Jewels Boutique
Owned by the mother-daughter duo Julie and Olivia Tilton, this shop blends timeless style with unique pieces, and even carries menswear (a rare find in the local boutique scene). With brands like Kendra Scott, Consuela and Pistola on the racks, it’s easy to find something your closet is missing. It also has two locations to choose from, making shopping even easier.

Coastal Closet
This is one of those shops where you’ll want to take your time, because around every corner is another must-have. The inventory includes classic-meets-casual clothing for women, men and kids; plus, beach-ready accessories, trending shoe styles and maximal prints. You’ll find pieces from brands like Julie Vos, Z Supply, Mignonne Gavigan and Blue Quail Kids, all chosen with sun-soaked days in mind.
