In my short time in North Carolina, I've noticed a stark difference in styles than what I was used to in south Georgia. While it's almost just as hot, there's less humidity and more breezy days that call for a few wardrobe alterations. A mixture of free-flowing fabrics, crisp lines, and punches of color should do just the trick.
