What To Wear: What to wear in L.A.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Los Angeles does not get as hot as many people assume. In the summer, the temperature is usually in the eighties (80F), with ocean breezes near the water. At night, the city cools off considerably. Every now and then the temps soar into the upper nineties, but it's rare that it would get any hotter than that. In the winter months, the temperatures are often in the fifties sixties (50-60F). You'll want to be wearing pants and sweaters. In general, it's a good idea to pack in layers when coming to L.A. Bring T-shirts for the daytime and light jackets for the evening. The good news? It rarely rains, so you probably won't need to pack an umbrulla. Make sure to bring along your sunglasses and sunscreen, though! L.A. is not quite as fashion conscious as New York, but we still shudder at the sight of fanny packs and big, white tennis shoes. Don't look like a tourist! There' s not a problem with pickpockets or muggers here... you can carry a shoulder bag without fear. Your wardrobe should be casual, but chic.

    What To Wear: L.A. is like the desert-COLD at night!
  • Tip Rating:
  • have bags w/ wheels.pack light- you'll want to shop and bring things home

    bring a light denim jacket and a cardigan or two for nights- they can be chilly year round . bring comfy shoes for walking around but, bring your snazzy ones too- this is Hollywood! A girl's uniform in L.A. is tight jeans and high heels!Guys should have black pants and shoes for dining out!

    It is dry here so lots of lotion and moisturizer, vaseline lip therapy and sunscreen!

    LA is very casual. Dress is even at it's hippest very informal. I haven't worn a tie in years except for a wedding or funeral. I rarely wear a 'sport coat' I often wear shorts to everything but the swankest spots and even still if it's in the beachy part of town, you can pretty much always wear shorts or jeans and shirt.

    Bring Camping equipment if you have it. There are lots of great spots near LA to do some tremendous camping. Leo Carillo beach in Malibu, Joshua Tree, and Near Ojai are just some of the places.

  • You will need your warm weather clothes for the day and some kind jacket or light sweater for the evening because it does get cool.

    Bring some sunblock if you are not used to being out in the sun alot and a hat of some sort. The only place I got sunburned was on my head.

    What To Wear: LA Weather changes with the sun
    Always dress in layers for a full-day outing in Los Angeles. Though the afternoon may be very warm, evening temperatures can drop leaving you chilly if not downright cold. I've wasted a lot of money buying sweatshirts because I forgot to bring one along. Do yourself a favor - through a sweater in a bag or in the car - you'll probably need it when the sun sets.

    What To Wear: It's always chilly at night
    As Cali is usually sunny, remember to bring a sweater or light jacket for the night, even during the summer, because it does get chilly at night.

    What To Wear: No need for warmth
    In the summer you dont even need jeans because its so hot. All you need is shorts and t-shirts and dont forget the sandals.

    Dont forget sunscreen in the summer.
