I Live in L.A. and Write About Fashion—Here's What Everyone Will Wear in 2020
Here on the West Coast, we're blessed with a lot of things (health cafés on every corner, proximity to the beach, an overall leisurely approach to work and life). But one thing we can't lay claim to? Real winter weather. The fact that 70-degree days are a reality in December is both a blessing and a curse—on the one hand, the weather is hardly a cause for complaint, but on the other, there are certain trends we just don't get to participate in.
But while thick knits and heavy jackets might be out of the question for us L.A. folks, don't go thinking we aren't putting our own spin on fall/winter style. As a fashion editor, I'm bearing witness to some truly amazing fashion trends that will take over Los Angeles in 2020. From the jean style I've been spotting on all my friends to the It print that's flooding every corner from Melrose Place to Abbot Kinney, I'm sharing seven big trends that will define the city's style in the coming year.
To see each of them in action, keep scrolling; then shop ways to get the look for yourself (proximity to Griffith Park not necessary).
High-rise wide-leg jeans are poised to be the biggest jean trend of the year, not just on the West Coast, but across the country, too. L.A. girls have been early adopters of the loose-yet-tailored fit, styling their favorite pairs with fitted tops and sleek shoes.And when they're not wearing jeans, L.A. girls will turn to fashion trousers, especially high-waisted and menswear-inspired styles.Also available in more sizes.While these chunky-soled stompers aren't as necessary weather-wise as other walking cities, Angelenos are wearing them to give all their outfits a cool edge.You know we love a cozy coffee run here in Los Angeles, and we predict that the outfit of choice when going for our caffeine fix or heading to the farmer's market will be a basic-but-brilliant matching sweatsuit.L.A. girls have a huge thing for gold jewelry, and this year they're doubling down on their jewelry game by wearing chain necklaces one (or two) at a time.Forget sneakers—loafers are about to be the flat shoes that L.A. girls reach for when they need something easy and comfortable.L.A. weather rarely requires anything heavier than a light layer, which makes something like a leather blazer or leather trench coat the ideal topper.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
