These local style influencers are so hot right now.
Designers, models, + fashionistas from all over the country are hanging out under the tents at Marion Square for the 12th Charleston Fashion Week. But let’s be honest–Charleston is full of ridiculously good looking + stylish people all year round.
I’m no expert when it comes to fashion (my personal style was once described as “you wear a lot of stripes,” + I’ve found myself advocating for JNCO jeans to make a comeback), so I enlisted local fashion blogger Alysha (a.k.a. @Sty_Lysh) to create a round-up of some of the top style influencers that call Charleston home.
Follow each of them below to get inspired.
🎀 @juliahengel // Founder of fashion blog Gal Meets Glam
Alysha: From flowers + flowy fabrics, to flawless curls + frolicking around the world, Julia Engel has got you covered. Her dress collection is marvelous– and if you like what you see, you can shop her style.
👗@byhilaryrose // Style, travel + etiquette blog “By Hilary Rose”
Alysha: Looking for the best of the Holy City? A recent Charleston transplant, Hilary shares her favorite findings while exploring the city. Some of her recent posts include her favorite margaritas + trendy restaurants.

You may recognize Serrano from her biweekly segment “Fashion Friday” on Lowcountry Live. She’ll be getting a ‘behind the seams’ look into this year’s fashion week as part of the 2018 Fashion Panel, + will assist in the selection of the winning 2018 Emerging Designer.
🎀 @jillianattaway // “Rhyme & Reason” blogger Jillian Eversole
👔 @thebowtiegent // Blogger + stylist Louis Matthew
And last, but not least...
🎀 @sty_lysh // Food + fashion blogger Alysha
If you’re in search of great food + great fashion, look no further. Sty-lysh dishes on everything from her journey through Whole30 to her experience at Charleston Wine + Food– all while offering great advice on how to dress with style while on a budget.
Shoutout to Alysha for helping me with this list – and for graciously letting me share her closet back in college so I didn’t have to keep wearing my belted, zebra print dress on game days.
And as always, our lists aren’t complete without y’all– so let us know if we’re missing any other local style.
