Charleston in April
25°C / 77°FLightweight wool or wool‑blend (often 100–130s), high‑twist wool, cotton‑linen blend, or pure linen depending on dress code; these breathe well in mid‑20s °C warmth and moderate humidity and drape cleanly for photos.[1][4][6][7][13]

28°C / 82°FTropical wool or wool-linen blend, because it breathes better than standard worsted and still holds a civilized crease in humidity.

Charleston in October
26°C / 79°FLightweight wool or wool‑blend, or high‑twist wool that breathes and resists wrinkling in humidity; linen‑blend is fine for more casual outdoor settings but can look too relaxed for a church.[5][7]
