Looks / What to Wear: Super-Fly Barber Shop
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am obliged to a gal who cuts hair on the other side of town. She is "rad". However, when she was outta town, I got my mop cropped at "Rudy's", a cool spot in Los Feliz. Rudy's is a stylin' space - a re-worked auto shop that sells magazines and CDs while you wait. Cuts cost, I think $18, which is cheap for Los Angeles. Ask for "Dale". She knew what she was doing and was an absolute peach. Worth a look if you need a haircut while in the City of Angels.

    Looks / What to Wear: Clothing giveaway
  • Tip Rating:
  • Certain things you wear will surely make you stand out as a tourist. These would include tight spandex swim shorts for men (Speedo's), multiple cameras strapped around your neck, tight shorts on men, and Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts.

    Looks / What to Wear: Jeans, Jeans, and Did I Mention Jeans
  • Tip Rating:
  • It seems like all people ever wear in this town is their favorite pair of jeans. Granted the jeans may be overpriced couture, but the nice thing about California Casual style is that you can dress up a pair of jeans and pretty much go almost anywhere. It is certainly a more comfortable way of dressing!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Except at some of the upscale venues around Hollywood and other similar neighborhoods, for the most part, LA is a laid back place. You don't have to dress up. Just hang loose.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't signal when you change lanes. You'll be letting people know where you want to go so they'll speed up to cut you off. Nobody dresses up in LA.

  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are in Hollywood, dress in black from head to toe. If you are in the South Bay, Surfing or Volleyball shorts help you blend in.

    Looks / What to Wear: Going Topless

    Compared to most European nations, America is, overall, a rather prudish country. Dropping your bikini top on the beach will not only generate unwelcome stares but quite possibly, a fine as well. Most restaurants, even casual ones located on the beach, require a minimum of shorts, a t-shirt, and shoes.

    Looks / What to Wear: Adding to the jeans and t-shirt...
    In the summer, a nice pair of leather flip-flops with your jeans will blend you in nicely. Make sure your jeans are long enough to drag the ground a little at your heal. Don't wear "Wrangler" jeans, they may still be illegal. Cargo shorts will also work with your t-shirt, which shouldn't mention anything associated with Los Angeles except for Universities. If you want to wear something to tell people what your favorite movie or TV show is, get a fleece or windbreaker. They look like crew jackets and people will think you work on the show. Suits are pretty uncommon for business meetings, but you can always ask someone's assistant what people wear to their office. I've been in a studio meeting where the most important guy was wearing pajama bottoms and no shirt. (No, it wasn't in Chatsworth.) If you're headed to an evening function, like a business dinner or opening, and will wear a suit, wear a colored shirt that matches your tie. If you wear a white shirt, people will assume you're the venue manager.

    It's so LA to be seen wearing a Classic VT Shirt such as BlueChromis is modeling.

    Looks / What to Wear: Dress down way down
    Us Angelinos wear what we feel comfertable in, and for 90% of LA thats Jeans and a Tshirt. Of course the hipper those overpriced designer jeans and the rarer/original the tshirt is, the more you will blend in....ironic isnt it. Also foot wear. If you dont want to look like a tourist then stick with a pair of hip sneakers. Stay away from cross trainers and "walking shoes" youll stick out like a sore thumb. Just try to blend in and you wont have any problems:)
