Buying a button-down sweater can be surprisingly difficult because the perfect one has to thread the needle between polished and practical. You want enough warmth to weather a breezy Lowcountry evening without looking like you wandered in from a ski lodge. The buttons, fabric, fit, and neckline all need to stay in good alignment, or the whole outfit can come unraveled. Prices can also range from a wallet-friendly steal to a serious sweater investment. Fortunately, Mount Pleasant has plenty of places where you can get your wardrobe buttoned up.
