A large portion of the country cozies up with heavy soups and cardigans to watch the leaves change before they disappear for half the year. The air is crisp and pumpkin spice is everywhere. However, Coastal South Carolina’s climate and culture create an experience for our residents that’s truly all ours. Though we also love to embrace the seasonal lattes with the best of them, everything else is more unique in our area. We don’t pack up and hibernate. We’re thankful for our weather and our evergreens. We comb the beaches before we set up the tailgate party. We welcome the slight respite from the summer heat and come out from the shade. Festivals, fashion week, football and fun in the not-as-hot sun monopolize all our plans, and we’re here for it. With the buzz fall creates in Charleston in general — and in tandem with the hype of fashion week — our team thought this season which the Lowcountry expresses so uniquely would be the perfect time to explore the worlds of the Holy City’s fashion, style and individuality. Therefore, we dove into everything from the history of wardrobe in the area to current trends. We explored the psychology of our women — where they’re from, what their hobbies are, what influences them — to truly uncover the charisma they hope to convey with what they choose to put on their bodies. Fashion is more than clothes. It’s a visual representation of culture, of place and of personality. We already know, Charleston never runs low on any of those things. So, join us in the deep dive into what makes us, us. You’ll find some beautiful boutiques and fashion advice along the way, but most exciting will be exploring the things that makes it easy to spot a woman from Charleston anywhere in the world she chooses to be. We’re excited about journeying through our “X-factor” for which we are so proud, with you who create it.
