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

Aje Belonging Mini Dress ($425)

I'd recommend packing at least one nicer summer dress for dinners out. There are some very chic hot spots downtown — including Fig, Stella's, High Cotton, 82 Queen, Anson, and Husk — so you can add a pair of strappy kitten heel sandals to finish off the look. The fact that this Aje minidress comes with a matching lightweight shirt ($325) means you'll have the perfect layering piece for when the sun goes down and the evening chill kicks in.
