All points bulletin to LA Fashion Police
Those of you who loathe fashion posts please bypass. Is it acceptable to wear white linen and cotton slacks in LA before Memorial Day? The dates in question are Easter break week. Also, what are the well dressed wearing for casual wear these days? Jeans are always a staple, correct? I don't wear shorts, short skirts or skimpy tops. I like to wear a tailored look with comfortable shoes of course. Thanks.

wendy, I grew up in the midwest with The Rules about when you could wear white (after Memorial Day and before Labor Day, unless it was "winter white"). Here in California, those rules do not exist. People wear white year round, and linen whenever the weather is warm. Even more so in LA than in northern Ca, since the weather is so balmy year round.
Jeans are fine virtually anywhere if you are comfortable being that casual.

I think that in LA you can pretty much get away with wearing whatever you want. Unless of course you are going out to a certain resturant/party. I saw the wierdest outfits there as well as the coolest. I wouldn't worry about having to stick to certain guidelines. You could probably walk down the street in the most outrageous outfit and I doubt anyone would even bat an eye.

Definitely more of a northen California look, but I've seen people do the socks and sandals thing in southern California as well, slight variation though - instead of the Birks, they generally wear those outdoor type sandals with the thick rubbery soles and braided nylon straps with the velcro.

We have very cold winters here in Boston and have been wearing uggs for years while most wear wearing leather boots. I was teased how ugly they were. Those women are now wearing them because they are "in,"

Meant to add that my feet don't sweat in them in the warmer months. The wool keeps them at an even temp.
I just can't imagine getting them wet. Ick. Snow? For one thing the leg opening in mine would be an invite to dump snow down my boot it's so large. Mine are mid shin.

I understand the boots. I have a pair. Ugg also suggests you do the waterproofing to your own boots. Mine aren't waterproof.
My point is that they were made by surfers for other surfers.
UGG Australia ? A look back at 25 years of sheepskin
In 1978, Brian Smith, a young Australian surfer, brought a core piece of "Down Under" to the United States. For years, craftsmen have been stitching sheepskin boots on the beaches of Australia and New Zealand, however it took a bold and enterprising Smith to introduce a quirky Australian tradition to the United States.
Armed with only a few pairs of UGG sheepskin boots and a positive attitude, Smith hit the streets of New York. However, his reception was not a friendly one, and he was sent packing, with the same few pair in his suitcase.
But Smith was persistent and more than a little stubborn. He knew that there had to be a place for his boots in the US market, so he traveled west to do little surfing in California. Arriving there he was shocked to find that there was already a small group of well-traveled surfers who?d brought similar sheepskin boots back from Australia. He?d found his niche, and he never had to leave the beach.

Now that I am not living in a cold climate, I am soooo happy to Not be wearing boots of any kind!
I am now traipsing around in little kitten heeled sandals with bows on the toes LOL I went for as opposite as I could from what I was wearing in NYC at this time of year~
When I lived in LA, (Hollywood Hills to be exact) skirts and tops that fit, jeans and high heels, and white whenever you wanted were fine. I don't think much has changed
