Howler Brothers

Based in Austin, Howler Brothers is a design-driven, men’s outdoor apparel company. Started by Chase Heard and Andy Stepanian, the company was created to produce high-quality clothing and swimwear that celebrates the style and tradition of watersports. The heart and soul behind their clothes are rooted in being in the outdoors — whether you’re in the water, on the boat or sitting around the fire. The company name was inspired by the call of one of the loudest North American animals, the Howler Monkey, as Heard and Stepanian often encountered these sounds while on their surf trips to Costa Rica. To learn more or browse through their clothing and swimwear collection, you can check out their website: https://howlerbros.com/.

Soleil Swim

Handmade in Austin, Soleil Swim offers simple, seamless swimwear that is hard to find. Just like that little black dress, finding your everyday staple bikini is difficult to come by. With its high-quality fabric and elegant colors, the local brand works to provide Austin with the look and fit they desire. Soleil Swim’s seamless fit and design are all you need this summer. To purchase your summer bikini, visit their Instagram @soleilswim.us. Custom orders are available. 

TYLER’S

Though it originally started in Tyler in 1978, the Texas-based store TYLER’S has grown to encompass eight brick-and-mortar stores as well as an online website. They aim to create products where families and friends can enjoy an active lifestyle together. Their store offers not only more than 350 brands but also their iconic TYLER’S tees, worn by Texas and tourists alike. TYLER’S also organizes a 21-mile paddle boarding fundraiser called TYLER’S Dam That Cancer, which raises money for the Flatwater Foundation — an Austin-based nonprofit that supports those diagnosed with cancer to have access to mental health support. They also support many local schools and organizations within the community. You can check out more about them as well as their clothing and swimwear on their website: https://www.tylerstx.com/.
