Charleston, South Carolina, is one of those dreamy destinations where every corner feels like a photo backdrop. Between the pastel row houses, cobblestone streets, and lush courtyards, I knew my outfits had to strike the right balance of chic, comfortable, and Charleston-approved. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or simply looking for outfit inspiration, here’s a full breakdown of what I wore in Charleston.
Easy Breezy Day Dresses
For wandering through King Street or doing a little sight seeing I loved this lightweight block print dress. A casual shift style was perfect for the warm September weather—breathable, feminine, and ideal for logging a surprising number of steps. This print comes in a few different color options but the pink just felt so southern charm.
Style Tip: Charleston does daytime so well and while there are plenty of walkers, joggers and Pilates-bound girlies in cute athletic looks, if you’re not actively exercising, the vibe is definitely an elevated day lewk.
Chic Evening Looks
Dinner in Charleston is an event in itself. From Husk to The Darling, I pulled out elevated yet effortless outfits. A silky slip dress paired with designer slides felt polished without being overdone. A simple A line mini dress in pink brought a basic silhouette to a sweet southern vibe. I also packed a double dose of texture with a 3d flower style and fringey embroidered maxi in blue.
Style Tip: Neutral pieces with a statement accessory—like bold earrings or a woven clutch—add a touch of southern sophistication.
Comfortable Walking Outfits
Exploring The Battery or hopping between art galleries requires shoes you can actually walk in. I opted for comfy sneakers paired with flare yoga pants or a monochromatic set. It was a lowkey casual look that didn’t sacrifice style.
Style Tip: Charleston’s streets are beautiful but uneven, so save your stiletto heels for indoors.
Poolside & Hotel Vibes
We stayed at The Mills House Hotel, and I loved that we had a chic pool and lounging areas. A classic white two piece swimsuit was all I needed for a successful day soaking in the sun.
Style Tip: I kept my coverup and accessories simple, but made sure to take my favorite bronzing SPF and easy rattan sandals.
Accessories That Pulled It Together
No Charleston wardrobe is complete without the finishing touches. I packed on gold stacked bracelets, oversized sunglasses, and a mix of straw and rattan bags that could hold the essentials.
