With natural highlights. Light curling iron touches. I must say people are more groomed than up North here. Somehow even the messy bun is neater.</p> <p>Also: interesting enough, not much vivid colour. Punky anime hair is very very common where I am. One thing I was thankful for was No Man Buns. Everyone here wears the Man Bun, including the women.</p> <p>Oh also: not only no colourful hair, no man capris. Another ubiquitous and dubious style choice up here, lololol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report/page/2#post-2061997 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 16:58:33 +0000 Anonymous 2061997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear about this, Rachylou. &nbsp;With a tip of the hat to Runcarla's post on hair, did you notice anything in particular there? &nbsp;LA folks seem to be especially creative in that area.</p> <p>"...I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy<br />Ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming<br />Streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka dotted<br />Twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered and confettied<br />Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied." &nbsp;--From the musical "Hair"</p> <p>Speaking of hair, thanks for your tip on Olaplex products. &nbsp;I got some from Nordie's and my hair has never been happier! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report/page/2#post-2061926 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:16:29 +0000 always trying 2061926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in Orange County CA, close to the beach. Flip flops are the most common footwear here for all , from tiny tots to old folks.&nbsp; Older women sandals rule until our few months of colder and hopefully rain.&nbsp; The high school; set wear shorts and sneakers almost exclusively.&nbsp; now that the biggest of the tourists season is over see a bit of everything.&nbsp; If the temps get closer to the 80's sleeveless rules, even on those who should probably not wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061908 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 11:56:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2061908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son will be almost Southern Ca women stylish when his birthday present from my sister arrives.

They seriously put something in the water there that makes you think you will wear a Disney slogan tee shirt in real life.</p> <p>Although, I really want this. Maybe if it were black ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061857 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 04:31:12 +0000 rachylou 2061857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Joy!</p> <p>Very interesting about the Route 66 and cacti themes! Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061845 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 03:25:53 +0000 Anonymous 2061845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this intriguing report, Rachylou. I see very few women in shorts but lots of old men. They are a group that should not wear them. Too many skinny bowed legs on display. I have not seen a pair of flip flops all summer. The black tee thing is very interesting I have been seeing more button down shirts worn untucked....wild prints Hawaiian style, Route 66 themes with old cars, gas tanks and cacti are also common. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061842 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 03:07:49 +0000 Jenn 2061842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern, just regular booties. It was 80° today, which is a 20° drop from last week, so maybe people are feeling optimistic about fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061817 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 01:44:50 +0000 Jaime 2061817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flip flops and sneakers are also big around here - something to do with the heat I would say, but this black tee thing is intriguing. I need to see these tees and ask them why they have taken over LA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061796 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:30:21 +0000 rachylou 2061796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And also a good point, The Cat, about white maybe feeling underdressed in a cosmopolitan setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061790 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:23:17 +0000 rachylou 2061790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that’s a good point Sarah. It could very well be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061789 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:22:43 +0000 rachylou 2061789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like that Chloe.</p> <p>Jenn, that just cracks me up! It’s true! I was telling the truth! :D</p> <p>Torontogirl, yes, I was thinking about this. Where are they getting the black tees? They’re not Hanes beefy tees. They aren’t the slinky Jennifer Anniston kind I don’t think, not that I noted... but someone has probably got one of those on in black... but they were the fitted kind that I saw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061786 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:18:08 +0000 SarahD8 2061786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the shorts-knee highs-sneakers look the Stranger Things influence, do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061775 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 23:08:05 +0000 Brooklyn 2061775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a bit obsessed with this Chloe look: shorts + boots + calf high socks. I’d love to translate it for summer. But no<br /> jackets in summer for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061774 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 23:00:51 +0000 Brooklyn 2061774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I saw a young woman wearing sneakers and knee high socks (both in black) on Monday. She looked great and I wondered if I could pull it off. Almost a tall boot look for summer (it was 28C here on Monday so plenty warm enough). And shorts and flip flops are summer essentials here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061771 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 22:52:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2061771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, perforated booties, and /or open-toed? </p> <p>The Cat, that surprises me! Why do you think people would wear them less?</p> <p>Susie, same here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061767 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 22:34:34 +0000 Jenn 2061767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I’m sitting in a cafe in Pasadena right now. I can see four women. Three of them are wearing plain black t-shirts. All four have on skinny jeans or slim-fit ponte pants. No sneakers, but footwear is all over the place—booties, sandals, flip-flops, and Toms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061760 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 21:41:57 +0000 Susie 2061760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting! I don't know many people in real life who DON'T wear shorts, at least occasionally! But paired with sneakers and long socks? Yikes.Only a very few, regardless of body type, can pull off that look!&nbsp;<br />(If it's hot enough for shorts, why would you want to wear long socks??) Black tees, huh? I didn't know that was a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061757 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 21:31:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2061757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun and fascinating fashion report! Rachylou, you are a riot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061755 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 21:19:09 +0000 The Cat 2061755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun fashion report.</p> <p>Re the black tees: People might feel more "dressed" or "urban" in black tees than in white ones (which might still be associated with underwear, at least by some). But interesting that so many feel the same.</p> <p>Debora, in my part of Europe (Scandinavia) I saw many more shorts in the streets in the '80s and '90s than nowadays. Many young people still wear shorts in public, but most people over 25 seem to dress differently these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061749 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 20:51:43 +0000 Helena 2061749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I need to know ... What sort of black tees ... Like Hanes undershirt Ricky gervais style? Or fitted Jennifer Aniston style? Or something else again?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/la-fashion-report#post-2061742 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 20:09:12 +0000 Cardiff girl 2061742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great fashion report.l can’t get over people cycling in flip flops,not safe people! </p>
