Hello, May! From Shem Creek sunsets to Charleston’s favorite festivals, we’re diving into spring with sunshine, style, and sun protection. Here's what’s happening this month with Vapor Apparel and a list of the best things to do in Charleston in May 2025. Enjoy exploring our hometown! 

What we've been up to: Happy Hour!

What We’ve Been Up To 

We’ve been busy this spring! Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the Cooper River Bridge Run, the Blessing of the Fleet, and our Spring Warehouse Sale. We wrapped it all up with a breezy Happy Hour on Shem Creek—the perfect kickoff to rooftop season. Cheers to longer days and lighter layers!

Sun Protection Tips for Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Sun Protection Tips 

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month 
Quick facts to keep in mind: 

  1. Cloudy days still bring UV rays – Up to 80% get through! 

  1. UPF clothing = no need to reapply – Skip the mess. 

  1. Our Solars cool to 70°F when wet – Comfort + coverage. 

Shop smart, layer up, and protect your skin all season long.
