2026 Best of the Holy City READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS SHOPPING & STYLE

Voted on by our readers, these award-winning attractions, standout shops, and essential services are part of what keeps Charleston among the most beloved places to live in the country.

From the elegance of King Street to the breezy convenience of the Mount Pleasant Towne Centre, shopping in the Holy City is as much a pleasure as it is a need. Here we highlight the boutiques and destinations that define that experience. It’s where heritage meets modernity—like the enduring craftsmanship of Croghan’s Jewel Box and the refined menswear of M. Dumas & Sons, an anchor on King Street. It’s also where individuality thrives, from the curated racks at Reinvented Upscale Resale to the fun, flirty, feminine finds at Copper Penny Boutique. Whether you’re searching for statement pieces or everyday staples, Charleston offers a sense of discovery around every corner. Style here extends beyond clothing. It’s in the thoughtful details—the perfect pair of (washable) shoes from Charleston Shoe Co., a beautifully wrapped gift that screams “Lowcountry” from The Happy Southerner, or the confidence that comes from finding intimates that feel just right at Lounge With Us.
