Have you noticed significant differences in fashion sense in different cities/areas of the country? Is there such a thing as regional styles? Which cities are most casual/formal/frumpy/stylish?
I have heard people from other states complain that we Texans are casual to the point of looking like slobs, but other people have also complained that we are too dressy and fashion-conscious, so who knows? Dallas in particular and Texas as a whole do not really have a "style" that I have noticed because there are so many different ones out there you cannot really say that we dress a certain way. I have not seen it if we do!
Yes, I notice a difference. A major one I first noticed is L.A.'s fashion is so more causal and colorful compared to NYC fashion. And well Pittsburgh....here they catch onto trends about 5 years too late.

Yeah, I was going to say that I feel like we (NYers from the metro area) are always in black and shades of gray (and sometimes brown. )
I've only been to LA a few times, but the folks there never left an impression on me.
I love the way people dress in much of Fairfield, CT! My husband used to live there, so whenever we visit friends, I'm always asking if I look too "Long Islandy". LOL
Tampa is extremely casual with many local businessmen commonly wearing tropical or golf shirts and khakis or dockers rather than the traditional business getup. No one cares if you wear white after Labor day. Sandals, shorts, jeans and t-shirts are perfectly acceptable for shopping or most dining establishments. During those rare cold days everyone digs out their jacket and you get to marvel at the parade of people unashamedly sporting bizarrely out of style outerwear. It's difficult to justify spending money on a coat that you wear only a few days each year max, when you already have one and the only thing wrong with it is that it screams Marty McFly.
Albuquerque has a youngish boho style due to the mild year round weather. People on the ABQ board insist that the area is not style conscious but it is.
I live in a southern MSP suburb, and it seems like Minneapolis/St. Paul style tries to emulate Southern California style- casual and preppy. But I also see a lot of formal style and NYC-type style- as in less colorful and a little more traditional than SoCal.
