The Rules

Living in LA is hard enough, when you think about all the stuff we have to put up with: traffic, unaffordable housing, incompetent politicians and earthquakes. But the constant sunshine and proximity to ocean and desert (and everything in between) can sometimes muddle our fashion sense.

My friends and I started compiling a list of fashion do’s and dont’s that are specific to LA. Pretty soon we came up with a set of Rules that any self-respecting Angeleno should follow.

Here they are:

1. Do NOT wear Crocs or Ugg boots under the pretense that they are comfortable. So are ballet flats.

2. Always wear weather appropriate clothing. Ugg boots paired with shorts or a mini skirt is a) visually assaulting and b) wrong on ALL LEVELS

3. NO leather leggings. A TRAVESTY. (thanks, Yolin!)

4. Avoid bubble dresses. They do NOTHING for you, except make you look like a pear. (thanks, Wendy!)

5. If it doesn’t fit, DON’T wear it. (courtesy of Celina)
