Draped in coastal charm

Photography by Lisa Staff + Styled by Bailey Gilliam

The Lowcountry effortlessly weaves itself into every aspect of life — fashion included. Here life unfolds at a slower, more intentional pace, inviting you to soak in the beauty of your surroundings. From sunlight filtering through live oaks draped in Spanish moss to the distinctive, salty-sweet aroma of the marsh at low tide, every detail inspires a sense of calm and connection. This laid-back way of life is mirrored in how we dress: neutral tones, flowing silhouettes and fabrics as easygoing as a stroll down a marshside dock. Special thanks to the Coastal Discovery Museum, a true embodiment of the Lowcountry’s essence, for providing the perfect setting to highlight the colors, textures and charm of this unique region.
