5 Fall It Items New Yorkers and L.A. Girls Agree On
New York City and Los Angeles have very different style—and for justifiable reasons. For starters, the weather is way different. In California, warm weather is feasible all year long, while on the East Coast there are four distinguishable seasons with different temperatures, patterns, and plenty of unexpected rainstorms. Secondly, the way we get around greatly varies between the two cities. New Yorkers are used to commuting by foot or subway, while many Los Angeles residents hop in a car to get to work. Therefore, if you live in NYC, you're most likely wearing comfortable footwear. So the fashion sets in each location have their differences, but there also happen to be plenty of items—particularly for fall—that fashion girls from both cities are endorsing right now.
Ahead, see five autumn trend pieces that are getting a stamp of approval from both major cities, and shop your favorites to test-drive the look in your own wardrobe for the months to come.
Plaid Blazer
Plaid blazers are a wardrobe essential come fall no matter where you live. Wear yours to the office with a button-down and skirt or on the weekend with a lace camisole and blue jeans.
Python Print
The animal print du jour for fall 2019 is decidedly python. Wear it however you please—as a trench coat or a dress or even a pair of booties. The options are seemingly endless.
Suiting
Don't start the season off without at least one suit hanging in your closet. It's the ultimate power flex and will never go out of style.
Tie-Dye
Rest assured that tie-dye is not solely intended for summer. Nay, you can wear this splashy print all year round, and several designers are including it in their collections for fall and winter.
White Boots
Embrace the winter-white trend by way of beautifully crafted boots. Whether they're a bit taller or of the ankle variety, all routes point to a stylish look.
Up next: the boot trend NYC and L.A. girls all love.
