Spring Style Refresh

In need of some outfit inspiration for your weekend plans? Mia, owner of Magari Boutique, shares her favorite spots and go-to looks for some of her most frequented weekend activities in Charleston.

Date night dinner downtown
Mia’s favorite spots: Melfi’s, Malagón, 167 Sushi Bar, Chez Nous

Date night downtown calls for a look that’s both upscale and classic. If you’re a dress lover, the material and body of our Newbury Button Down Tiered Dress creates a flattering silhouette that’s both elegant and chic. The flowered pattern, waist tie and front button details truly make this a stand-out dress. If you’re looking for something more timeless, you can never go wrong with our Savoy Satin Cami paired with wide-leg trousers or faux leather pants. By accessorizing with simple layered jewelry and your most coveted shoes, you’ll arrive looking and feeling your best. Pro tip: Choose to order dishes that you can share with your partner, allowing you to taste more of what these amazing Charleston restaurants have to offer!

Cocktails downtown
Mia’s favorite spots: The Citrus Club, The Belmont, The Tippling House

After a long week of work, going out for a cocktail is the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Luckily, there’s no shortage of great cocktail and wine bars to choose from in Charleston. On a nice day, head to your favorite rooftop bar for sunset and opt for some color with our Thompson Flap Pocket Blazer along with our Elvis Montage Tee or a classic tank and your favorite pair of blue jeans. For another outfit that easily transitions from evening to night, try our Bleecker Balloon Sleeve Blouse paired with black faux leather shorts – a look that’s especially appealing for our neutral lovers!

Brunch with friends
Mia’s favorite spots: Hall’s Chophouse, Basic Kitchen, Butcher & Bee

Weekend brunch with friends is the ideal opportunity to show off some fun, bright Spring colors. Our Marion Mango Knit Maxi Dress and Ludlow Lime Maxi Dress are two of our favorite picks, both offering bold colors that are trending for this season. Details like the soft knit material of our Marion dress and the back tie and side pockets of our Ludlow dress make them essential pieces to add to your wardrobe this Spring.

Afternoon brewery hopping
Mia’s favorite spots: Revelry Brewing Co., Holy City Brewing, Lo-Fi Brewing

If you’re hopping around to Charleston’s many breweries, try a casual dress that’s soft and comfortable for all day wear. Dresses such as our Vesey Mock Neck Sleeveless Maxi and Harbor Knit Woven Mixed Dress are great options for days like this – both easily pairing with a denim jacket, trendy sneakers and your go-to belt bag. Oh, and don’t forget your favorite pair of sunglasses to complete the look. You’ll thank us later.

A day at the beach
Mia’s favorite spots: Sullivan’s Island – The Co-Op Frosé & Eatery, Mex1 Coastal Cantina, Home Team BBQ

If you’re heading off to Sullivan’s for a Spring beach day, throw on our Mulberry Pinstripe Blouse over your favorite swimsuit for an effortless, stylish cover up. Grab your favorite beach hat and don’t forget to stop at The Co-Op for a sandwich to pack in your cooler. When you’ve soaked up enough sun, this blouse easily transitions from on the beach to off. Pair it with denim shorts and layer a basic ribbed tank underneath for a casual outfit that’s perfect for post-beach margaritas at Mex1. Cheers!
