to a degree - for one, when living in colder climates, you must dress for warmth which includes more layering and cute scarves and coats and boots...but in terms of style for the city, yes i
think it makes a difference...some cities are more fashion forward whereas others aren't and if you dress in haute couture in certain places you look silly...i definitely take chances in
certain locations versus others
My style is 60s City. I like black, heels, and skirts. When I lived in Denver, everyone dresses like an LL Bean catalog. I didn't care - I still dressed my own way.
I totally agree with you skigurl, having spent 2 years in the Uk got to me to learn a bit about British fashion and to try and dress the part, although I still adapted everything I wore to my
own style and personality, and even wore a beret every now and then when I felt homesick.
I like the fact that each place kind of has its own identity, even in fashion!
I think that if the area where you live has a lot of style, then yes...YOUR personal style will be influenced as a result. I live in the midwest where we struggle with a sense of identity in
every aspect of the word. Indiana doesn't have any signature music, food, art etc etc etc. It forces all of it's residents to figure out where we will draw our style from...which is OK. Makes
for a strange mix which is nice
I agree with Skigurl. I live in a cold climate so I own a lot of cashmere and scarves.
And some places cannot seem to handle high fashion, where I live most people wear jeans and sweatshirts everywhere. So they think I'm really "dressed up" because my casual wear is nicer
looking than when they actually dress up.
Yes and no! Sometimes when I look at my closet I can't seem to describe my style in one word; I am a girly girl yet a tomboy. I think living in LA has had a lot to do with it. The city always inspires me; there's so much diversity.
Yes and no. I'm originally from Philadelphia; thus, my style is more East Coast influenced. However, since moving to L.A., I'm wearing flip-flops WAY more than I've ever worn back home.
I live in Seattle. I remember going to New York once and being the only person on a busy Manhattan street wearing fleece. Style is just way more casual. In addition, I think certain trends,
like flannel, tights as pants (ugh), and massive scarves are more popular here than others. Like I have yet to see anyone wearing neon.

Kristin Cavallari turned one of her favorite Summer shirts into in a perfect Fall layering piece as she demonstrated here on her way to the Trina Turk boutique in LA. She paired this plaid button down with a gray tank, a black miniskirt, tights, and some suede Christian Louboutin ankle boots.

4I would have to say yes. I live in NY and a lot of people are very stylish. So you can't help wanting to look stylish also.

7Nah, England really inspires my style.
8how can it not? Especially climate-wise. You aren't going to wear a lot of parkas in Arizona, but they make sense in Wisconsin, where I live.
9Yes and no. I'm originally from Philadelphia; thus, my style is more East Coast influenced. However, since moving to L.A., I'm wearing flip-flops WAY more than I've ever worn back home.
10i always find that when i am in the city i go a little edgier.

12Not really, actually. I live in Phoenix but despite the hot temperatures, I tend to stay pretty chilly all the time, hence my ever-present sweater.
