Fashion Shoot: Greenville, SC

When one thinks of the South East, cities south as Charlotte, Atlanta, and Orlando come to mind. But, nestled between this land of “southern hospitality” and roaring economies is a little gem hidden in the upstate region of South Carolina. Greenville is home to beautiful mountain ranges, scenic lakes, and a vibrant downtown district filled with local restaurants and shops. There is always live music under the stars or a cultural festival going on, coupled with a strong economy supported by low taxes, and it is no wonder young professionals are flocking to the area.

Recently, Sophisticated Professional toured downtown Greenville to catch up with some young professionals. Click “NEXT” in the upper right to view the scenic images of our Fashion Shoot in Greenville, SC. The images were taken by fashion photographer Jerry Coli (Instagram @jerrycoliphotography).

One of our first stops in Greenville was a rooftop establishment in the middle of downtown called SIP, featuring unparalleled views, artisan wines, and a small plates menu that highlights local ingredients. It was a perfect spot for our young professionals to sit back and relax after a productive day at work. You can learn more about SIP at

After getting a bit to eat at Up on the Roof, checking out the quaint stores in One City Plaza is a must on your tour of downtown Greenville.

One of the most scenic districts in Greenville is the Reedy River. Art galleries, eclectic restaurants, a state of the art performing arts theater and a waterfall in the middle of downtown makes this a highly sought out destination for all ages.
