16 Essentials I Never Forget to Pack For a Trip to Charleston

Mother Down Low Undercover Cutoff Denim Shorts ($228)

I like to bring relaxed, loose-fitting denim cutoffs for a trip to Charleston — comfortable enough to wear with everything from slides to walking sneakers. I try to aim for a medium-wash pair so that the colorway is versatile and I don't have to pack extra styles. This is also the perfect year-round length given the average monthly temperatures.
