LA is well known for it’s cool factor, so keep this in mind while dressing for the day in this city. Looking effortlessly put together is important when emulating LA style so choose something that looks vintage and comfortable but stylish. Ripped cut off shorts are a great way to get this look and this pair from Nasty Gal melds perfectly with Hollywood boulevards seedy but glam side. Throw on an Americana tank also from Nasty Gal and a pair of black Vans sneakers and you will be ready for whatever Hollywood adventures await you.
LA style carries a total bohemian vibe that meshes well with the ideals of the city itself. LA’s laid-back vibe calls for long maxi dresses and some fringe. Keeping comfortable on a hot LA summer night calls for a sheer maxi dress, pair this frock with a light colored fringe bag like this clutch from ASOS it is dressy but still free spirited. We love these chunky wooden platform heels from Topshop that really take the look from day to night and simply scream free wheeling Hollywood times that are a total throwback to the 1960’s.
