As UT prepares for its Southeastern Conference debut, a new conference calls for a new wardrobe. However, with boutiques scattered across Austin, students may find the search for game day outfits overwhelming. To ease the shopping stress, The Daily Texan compiled a list of boutiques near campus to find the perfect apparel.
Longhorn Fashions- 709 W. 22nd St. (5 minute drive)
Founded by UT alumna Tessie Watson, Longhorn Fashions provides a wide variety of dresses, tops and bottoms in the signature burnt orange color. According to the Longhorn Fashions website, Watson opened this boutique after attending the University and realizing the lack of unique burnt orange clothing in the fashion industry. The store also contains a custom hat bar where customers can design hats and choose from an assortment of embellishments.
Sue Patrick- 5222 Burnet Rd. (10 minute drive)
From Longhorn apparel to collectibles, this boutique ten minutes from campus carries it all. Students can also find a new collection of SEC gear including hats, polos and mugs for sale at a reasonable price. Shop Sue Patrick when searching for a last-minute game day outfit that won’t disappoint.
