1. Bask Boutique
Park Cities
Bask Boutique in Inwood Village
Bask Boutique first debuted its killer collection of contemporary swimwear, cover ups, and accessories in 2014 within Snider Plaza. After a 2022 move to Inwood Village, the Dallas-based store now has more room to stock popular modern poolside names such as For Love and Lemons, Beach Riot, Frankie’s Bikinis, and more.
Cabana and Canary will welcome a sister store, Clover, on West Lovers Lane this spring.
Each of Merry Vose’s trio of West Lovers Lane shops — Cabana, Canary, and Clover — has its own distinct personality and aesthetic, but Cabana, in particular, caters more to the poolside crowd. (The concept first launched out of Vose’s Devonshire pool house after all.) Beyond its lavender doors, discover chic sets and standout one-pieces from Lisa Marie Fernandez and Ulla Johnson.

7. St. Bernard
Park Cities
5570 W. Lovers Lane #388
