As a South Carolinian, I frequent Charleston more than any other vacation destination. From its beautiful beaches to dinner cruises to the Charleston City Market, there are plenty of reasons why it\u2019s a top travel destination. If you\u2019re heading down to the Lowcountry this summer, or if you just want to add some Charleston flair to your wardrobe, we\u2019ve curated a list of 13 lightweight<\/a>, flowy<\/a> and polished<\/a> dresses to sport this spring and summer.<\/p>

  1. Summer isn\u2019t complete without a long, flowy smocked dress, and this PrettyGarden Summer Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a> is perfect. Designed with a tiered, ruffled skirt and V-neck top, this dress creates a slimming effect at the waist and flares at the bottom.<\/li> <\/ol>
    1. This Dokotoo Boho Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a> just screams Charleston charm with its chic scoop-neck design, adjustable spaghetti straps and playful, colorful pattern.<\/li> <\/ol>
      1. Channel your inner Southern belle in this Ouges Short Sleeve Floral Midi Dress<\/strong><\/a>. It features a wrap waist and a V-neck and comes in 32 different patterns and colors.<\/li> <\/ol>
        1. The PrettyGarden Summer Wrap Dress<\/strong><\/a> looks like something a character from \u201cThe White Lotus<\/a>\u201d would wear. Featuring a unique polka dot print, a ruffle trim and a tie-knot belt, you can style this dress with your favorite pair of sandals, sunglasses and a summer hat.<\/li> <\/ol>
          1. Stay cool and comfy in this scoop-neck spaghetti strap Wolddress Sundress<\/strong><\/a>. With 35 colors and patterns to choose from, you can wear this to brunch with friends or while you\u2019re out and about. <\/li> <\/ol>
            1. Spring and summer call for florals, so add this Grace Karin Smocked Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a> to your wardrobe. Featuring spaghetti straps, a smocked waist and a ruffled hemline, this light and flowy dress provides an effortless beach look.<\/li> <\/ol>
              1. Boho style is always a good choice on vacation. Wear this Zesica Boho Floral Square Neck Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a> to a Charleston dinner cruise, the beach or out shopping on King Street. Plus, Amazon reviewers<\/a> in their 60s say it\u2019s their go-to outfit for dinners and bridal showers.<\/li> <\/ol>
                1. You\u2019ll be the center of attention in this Grecerelle Maxi Vacation Dress<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s crafted with soft spandex and has a trendy side slit hem, and you can get it in 41 vibrant colors. <\/li> <\/ol>
                  1. Make a statement in this Halife Sleeveless Halter Dress<\/strong><\/a>, which comes in 19 patterns and colors. You can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up or style it with brown sandals, a beach tote bag and a cute summer hat.<\/li> <\/ol>
                    1. Heading to a Charleston wedding or cocktail party? You can\u2019t go wrong with this BTFBM Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a>. It has a gorgeous Swiss dot pattern with a V-neck and a tie-knot belt that makes your waist look slimmer.<\/li> <\/ol>
                      1. If you\u2019re looking for a full coverage option, go with this PrettyGarden Wrap V-Neck Ruffle Dress<\/strong><\/a>. Even with the long sleeves, you\u2019ll be able to stay cool in this breezy dress, and it features a wrap design and tie belt that flatter your waistline. <\/li> <\/ol>
                        1. Workout dresses are very popular in Charleston. Sport this number-one bestselling Anrabess Athletic Dress<\/strong><\/a> on your morning run or walk. Crafted with polyester and spandex, this lightweight dress has a V-neck design and spaghetti straps to help you stay cool, plus patch pockets for your essentials. <\/li> <\/ol>
                          1. Colorful prints are basically a Charleston staple. This Aomoni Maxi Dress<\/strong><\/a> has a chic geometric design that\u2019s easy to style with sandals, sunglasses and handbags. Wear it to the market, or sport it at your favorite Charleston restaurants. (I recommend Poogan\u2019s Porch and Fleet Landing Restaurant & Bar.)<\/li> <\/ol>
