How We’re Dressing For California’s Two-For-One Weather
We're live from L.A, where you can wear a snuggly poncho one minute and velvet pool slides the next. In collaboration with Net-a-Porter and Chloé.
| May 9, 2017What’s good, West Coast? After going from blazing Maldives to cloudy and damp Paris, I find myself somewhere just right in Los Angeles, where I get the best of both worlds: the sun and the cool temperatures. The perfect kind of weather to bust out and experiment with trans-season pieces without freezing or sweating buckets, and I’m getting all my ammo from Net-a-Porter’s Chloé edit. I’ve only been here for two days, but I can tell that I’m going to have a pretty good week ahead. Weather can really make or break a trip, agreed?
When the sun’s out in the spring, I’m all for loose-fitting silhouettes, whether it’s a voluminous blouse or wide-leg pants, and very comfortable shoes. Very comfortable. I may be wearing these velvet slides by the pool, but they’re the sort that you can take anywhere. When the sky begins to darken, it’s time to switch to warmer pieces – jeans, boots and sweaters. Coats and jackets are fine, but ponchos are the perfect excuse to take a blanket out with you. It’s exactly what you need when you’re having an al fresco Italian dinner on a chilly evening. Add a double-duty bag – the kind that works for both day and night and has just enough room for your bare necessities because your weary shoulders deserve a break, too –and you’re good to go.
