The Items L.A. Girls Don't Wear in the Winter
Dressing for the winter in L.A. comes with an entirely different set of rules than other cities. Since the weather stays pretty consistent year-round, winter is more of a season to experiment with light layering than truly bundling up. So what pieces do West Coast girls skip? It’s most of the heavy-duty pieces like puffy down coats and shearling-lined boots that are only needed for snow and freezing temps. While they might not get to break out those winter items, there are some others we’ve noticed are in the closets of every L.A. girl.
Ahead, we’re breaking down the ultimate L.A. winter style essentials. From boots that go with any outfit to a jacket to wear every season, these are the pieces you’ll spot fashion girls wearing on the West Coast.
