Fall in the Lowcountry is its own kind of wild. One morning, you’re stepping out into crisp, cool air, and by mid-afternoon, you’re peeling off layers under the same sun that baked us all summer long. That swing in temperature is part of what makes this season special but it can also make it tough to know what to wear.
That’s where smart layering comes in. The right gear makes the transition seamless, keeping you comfortable whether you’re headed into the field, out on the water, or just chasing a sunset. Here’s how to layer like a pro this season.
Start with a Breathable Base
Your base layer does the heavy lifting. It’s the first line of defense against sweat and heat. A lightweight, moisture-wicking tee, such as The Daily T-Shirt or Zada T-Shirt, keeps you cool, dry, and comfortable even as the day warms up.
Add a Flexible Mid-Layer
When morning temps dip, your mid-layer is what keeps you from shivering. Reach for something that traps warmth without weighing you down, like a performance hoodie or quarter-zip. Breathability remains key, allowing you to keep it on when the sun comes out without overheating.
Top It Off with a Weather-Ready Outer Layer
In the Lowcountry, a breeze off the marsh or a quick afternoon shower can sneak up on you. A lightweight, durable outer layer keeps wind and light rain at bay, while still giving you the mobility you need for the hunt, the cast, or the hike.
Keep It Simple, Keep It Versatile
The beauty of layering is versatility. As the day shifts, so can your setup shed a layer, stash it in your pack, or zip it back up when the wind picks up. The right combination keeps you ready for anything fall throws your way.
