In a city that lives and breathes fashion, Clotheshorse Anonymous has remained a Dallas mainstay since 1974, when it was founded by Jan Kennedy and Nancy Ungerman, and much of that enduring success today is thanks to its director of operations, Jennifer Mayrath.
A Dallas native with deep roots in luxury retail, Mayrath brings years of experience from her time at Neiman Marcus and Chanel to her role at the beloved upscale consignment boutique. With a sharp eye for style and a heart for sustainability, she’s helping redefine what it means to shop secondhand in a city where style is always front-row.
Now, as warmer days arrive, Mayrath is sharing her expert insight into what’s trending for spring and summer, from must-have looks and brands to the inside scoop on how to consign and score big in the luxury resale game.
What to wear now
This spring and summer, Mayrath says it’s all about effortless polish. Think loose, flowing maxi dresses and statement florals paired with vintage-inspired sneakers or wooden clogs. Soft pink and butter yellow are the season’s standout shades, and for footwear, buckle-trimmed slides, loafers, and heeled thong sandals are having a major moment.

Soft pink is one of the hot colors of the season.
As for brands that dominate her current mood board? Zimmermann’s breezy elegance, Khaite’s modern edge, Favorite Daughter’s wear-anywhere separates, and Japanese denim favorite Moussy are high on her list. For accessories, Mayrath has a soft spot — and a seriously enviable personal collection — of Chanel shoes and handbags, but also recommends Loewe, Miu Miu, and Chloe for standout seasonal picks.
"Designer handbags and jewelry practically fly off the floor," she says. "We can’t keep brands like Prada, Fendi, Saint Laurent, LV, and Jacquemus in stock, and shoppers are always watching for Cartier, Tiffany, David Yurman, and Chanel."
Distinctly Dallas
Mayrath leads a tight-knit team of fashion-savvy women across consignment, sales, and e-commerce, all united by a mission to give luxury fashion a second life.
Her approach combines sharp retail instincts with community care: she’s actively involved with local nonprofits like The Family Place, Turtle Creek Park Conservancy, and the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary.
How to consign like a pro
For those looking to consign, Mayrath offers a few pro tips to make your items showroom-ready — and sell fast.
Items should ideally be no more than two years old, in pristine condition (check heels and handbag corners for wear!), and hung neatly on hangers. And don’t forget to consult Clotheshorse Anonymous’ ever-evolving list of best-selling brands before you clean out your closet.

Whether you’re a fashion lover on the hunt for this season’s It bag or simply looking to give your wardrobe a refresh while being planet-conscious, Mayrath and the team at Clotheshorse Anonymous make it easy (and stylish) to shop smart.
“Luxury can have a second life,” she says. “And there’s nothing better than finding something beautiful that you’ll love, and knowing it has a story.”
