Now that spring has FINALLY sprung here in Charleston, sleeves are getting shorter and hemlines are getting higher. What pieces should you be adding to your closet to keep up with the latest spring trends? I’ve listed a few here.  But don’t worry, I won’t be telling you to buy any more florals.

Midi Skirts

Go to new lengths with midi skirts! They aren’t just for tea with the Queen anymore, and come in a variety of styles. You can rock a fuller skirt for a feminine, preppy look (which Bee from Atlantic Pacific always does perfectly), or choose a printed midi with a loose top for a more bohemian feel!

Long Cardigans

Since sweater weather is better weather, why not make all weather sweater weather? Now say that five times fast. A few lightweight, ground-grazing cardigans are perfect to throw over your bikini when the sun starts setting but you just can’t leave the beach!

Textured Shorts

You probably already have three pairs of lace shorts from last season, but embellishments and textures are a fun alternative this spring. The best part about this trend is that just a trip to the fabric store and a thrift shop makes a DIY pair easy!

Fun Tote Bags

With the beach so close by in Charleston, spontaneous trips are bound to happen ! A new tote bag gives you enough room to always have your suit and sunscreen on hand!
